im sorry guys, i know people make threads ALL DAY on here speculating about fights. ok. but i really have to speculate about this:
before the guerrero fight was even announced, there was a thread here titled something along the lines of 'will you buy mayweather-guerrero?' or 'is mayweather-guerrero a good fight?'
basically it was like gauging the publics opinion of the fight. ok, cool. but then not too much longer after i saw guerrero as the next opponent on boxrec. hmm, coincidence maybe. but life goes on... and then, it was officially announced.
then he fought canelo, he was not a questionable opponent (like the ones were discussing now), and everyone wanted the fight. ok, given.
but now, i saw the same thing happened a few days or weeks ago with khan..
someone posted a thread with the subject being very very similar to the guerrero fight threads... something like 'would you guys support mayweather-khan' or something like that.
of course, people clowned it. a retarded fight from a multiple KO victim... but then lo and behold, i check boxrec RIGHT NOW and its there. next thing you know, its announced and the guerrero deja-vu is real.
so is THIS a coincidence? that the ABSURD and mediocre guerrero and khan fights had threads asking for opinions about them, then showed up on boxrec, and then were formally announced?
like, is mayweathers team on here trolling the fans? or whats going on? because im kind of confused with these fights...
If they did they wouldn't be fighting Khan.
Of course they do.
Floyd has claimed in the past that he doesn't look on websites/newspapers etc but even Leoanard Ellerbe stated that he found out Canelo was 'willing' to drop down to 152 to make the Floyd fight on Boxing Scene.
I cant find the link but trust me, its out there.
All we do is speculate on what realistic opponents he could fight.It's not exactly hard. If he was fighting who BoxingScene wanted, he'd have fought Pacquiao and Martinez and would be signing to fight Golovkin.
could be true...
wasnt it scully on here that said that some fights are 'made' behind the scenes the moment a fighter gets the win ruled in his favour or whatever
Nah, there's a lotta fights already basically agreed but waiting for the W before they can be inked, that's pretty standard I think. TBH I think the promoters would prefer it if they could do away with the risky process of having guys actually fight each other cos it occasionally f#kks up their plans.
Khan has been talking about wanting to fight Mayweather for about 4 years and there have been numerous threads about that match up over the years.. If TMT/GB are using BScene to matchmake they've taken their time about it..
However, I wouldn't be surprised if all promoters have eyes on this website and other sites, afterall it is sort of free advertising for them, it's directly related to their businesses, and it's publicly accessible.
This ^.
NSB and 'Scene are quoted directly by fighters and press on occasion and it is the most active boxing forum on the web. They keep an eye on it for sure as it's a good barometer for the opinion of boxing fandom, but I don't think it's anywhere close to being the deciding factor in making fights.
Boxing journos are plagiaristic f#kkers though. Times without count I've read articles that are clearly lifted from fan research on threads on this and other sites.
excplains alot, scheafer with his "they are only using his name for publicity", elerby with alvarez' weight "i read on boxingscene"
they are your typical f.l.o.m.o

What does Khan,Guerrero & Canelo all have in common and then you can figure out how the fights gets made rather easily.
They're all promoted by GBP. But Guerrero had to beat Berto first. Canelo had to beat Trout. What about Khan?
The huge contradiction here is Guerrero getting the fight first instead of going straight to Canelo. He has to fight this and that fighter first to qualify for a Floyd fight. Here is Khan getting exposed here and there and he gets the fight.

i think khan mayweather fight was done after some days canelo fight and this news already broken by British Newspaper.So we should accept the reality.
could be true...

maybe thats the trick tho... whoever the fans least want to see, whoever they think will be the easiest meat to chew, like guerrero or khan, is who they choose to fight when they dont have a fan-mandatory like canelo (pacquiao excluded)
i dont know, but guerrero and khan are a big loss for the mayweather legacy
they are definitely not big losses. Look, no one is big on the Khan fight but he's had 45 fights and he will have more after this. Most people who complained about Ghost didnt even care anymore after the Canelo fight was named. Same here. If he fights Khan, everyone will be upset but it will probably be quickly forgotten if his next fight is someone like Sergio or Lara
There was a pic months ago of Khan next to a floyd poster and thats how it started
Everyone clowned the fight than just as they are now
I don't think this fight will happen, it would be the biggest joke fight in the history of boxing

.......................
this thread is backwards anyways. The reason why people make threads about gauging a Ghost or Khan fight is simply because it was already being reported. No one started making Ghost or Khan threads until media reports or guys like Schaffer started talking about Ghost & Khan as very clear possiblilites. Thats why those threads were made in the 1st place
