The only acceptable main event fighter for network tv is james kirkland

are you crazy? have you seen golden boy's stable? peter quillan maidana lara guerreo ponce de leon leo santa cruz anselmo moreno GBP has an excellent stable, but Kirkland is the best option if they want to guarantee name recognition and an exciting, eventful fight, and that includes Maidana. Assuming he can win against the underrated, slick Molina, Kirkland vs. a top 20 contender is a great fight, whether its uncompetitive or not. Network TV won't be willing to pay as much as HBO and Showtime, so GBP will have a limited budget and won't be able to put on the fights they could if they had one. They'll have to be smart and get recognizable fighters that can make for an exciting fight. Kirkland is a good option, Canelo might be another (though it wouldn't be against Kirkland), Maidana is another, and a Shobox level fight (prospect vs prospect) to open the telecast.

he's not going to fight on free tv, he's an hbo caliber fighter now, and a damn good one agree just replying to the op saying no one would want to see him

only if he rematches this guy.. :popcorn: It still doesn't sit well with me that Cortez forced his body on top of Kirkland. For all we know, Kirkland could have survived the round and come back to stop Ishida. He did it against Angulo

Victor Ortiz has knocked down or knocked out all of his opponents except for Floyd, and he's not exciting?

why would people not want to see Broner.. his last fight was one of the most entertaining ive seen in a while.. his salsa dance with perez, the ko and the ko dance (even if it was a little low to do that) and the people want entertainment he's not going to fight on free tv, he's an hbo caliber fighter now, and a damn good one

not realistic, not as exciting, doesn't speak english, not american. he's a good ppv guy, seller to latino markets, not a national u.s. market. alvarez / gbp is also not open to competitive fights like james kirkland is. hes a cash cow. kirkland is a brawler who has potential to be loved by all americans who dont mind rooting for a criminal (most). 20% of american population is latino

i never said it shouldnt be kirkland. he's the only guy that makes sense. (wont demand millions, exciting, wants to be in even matches, big puncher, exciting, speaks english, interesting life story). seth mitchell was my second choice. however, golden boy is not looking to put seth in competitive fights yet. kirkland is fine with taking a few shots, seth is not. kirkland is fine with punchers, seth is not (at least according to golden boy matchmakers). - one loss doesnt disqualify kirkland, and i'd love to see him fight ishida again - if it happens kirklands opponent will i****a himself when he sees what he;s up against.

you start a thread saying Kirkland, then you reply to your own thread saying "He Shouldn't"??? :nonono: lol this is boxing, nobody can "GUARANTEE EXCITEMENT" unless you FIX THE FIGHTS and put bums in front of them and tell them to go get KNOCKED OUT, sorry but I am not interested in seeing Exciting "FIXED FIGHTS" some one like Seth Mitchell would make sense to try and spark interest in a DEAD HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION (at least dead in the US)
