Question to my fellow boxingscene members....

Yes, it's absolutely fucking ridicolous. And I can honestly say, that if I met Oscar before this fight were to take place than I would ask him the exact same question. Barrios is coming off a loss to Guzman, (that scorecard wise was close, but the fight really wasn't.) This fight should be the weekend after Pac/Barrera so they can show the replay and build towards WHAT SHOULD BE Pac/Marquez. But that's life.

what the fuck, is this serious?

So let's say I'm a fighter, like Jorge Barrios, whose been around for over a decade and yet is relatively unknown. I sign with Goldenboy, a new promotion company, that is going to turn my career around. What do they do? Instead of getting me some non-ppv fights, maybe a fight on Wednesday or Friday night fights and then something maybe on B.A.D where I could get some exposure to those who don't know me- they push me onto a ppv? What does that say to me? Well, it makes me think Barrios knows he is too old to have much of a career renaissance now and it just trying to make some cash before he hangs it up in a few years.
