I disagree, but that'd lead to a long conversation that couldn't actually be proven till likely around 2018.
Really? I think its pretty obvious that there is no sort of "story arc", or tournaments, or certain matchups that lead to certain matchups that can keep the viewers engaged over the span of several fights. I think the ratings bear that out......
then why did 3.5 million US viewers watch his last fight?
Maybe in the hope they would see him lose or take on a live opponent. It is far to easy to hide behind a belt these days if you're just taking the money.
Boxing careers are becoming more choreographed than Wrestling :lol1:

Look at all the little girls in this thread crying ;)
We're only crying for a decent Fight, but Danny took a lot of damage from Matty and Petersen. I would like to see him in top fights, but he seems too psychologically damaged to step up now and is cruising on whatever he can get.
The majority of the damage seems to have come from Angel's insistence on fighting Herrera in PR, which almost went tits up as they over reached and had to take several steps back with opponents (The Mighty Salka, Pedersen, Malignaggi-WTF and the rising star that is Guerrero)
There is a definite trend to Danny's career at the moment and it will be interesting to see who is added to his stunning resume.
DANNY HAS NEVER STEPPED INTO THE RING WITH AN UNDEFEATED FIGHTER! I hope this changes soon as a champ needs to give the prospects the same opportunities as he was given.
We'll see....................
Cool....a appetizer before Mr One Time is served!!...I'll be in the building!
Lil G fans funny lol...they want EVERY fighter not named Lil G to fight Lions and Wolves and then justify Lil Gs can tour....FOH
Swift fighting Thurman and Ward is Krusher while Lil G is looking at the WW division for a payday...who next?!?....The Miracle Man?!? :lol1: FOH...Swift is greater than that fraud and you tampon wearers hate it #Facts
No one cares about that bum lol. It's like everyone is just ready for years to pass by so he retires. No one cares about Danny. I could beat that gutless bish myself for real.
danny garcia is a fuking bum.thurman better be next.
"The gift" gonna get another gift. Nothing to see here. Move along.
I wanna see a rematch with Bob Salsa Picante. He got robbed in the first fight, he was easily outboxing him. Worst stoppage I've ever seen. Salsa was so confident that he pretended to go down just so Danny wouldn't feel so bad. The ref waved it off because Uncle Al bribed him beforehand.

Why not December 3rd? Don't think much is happenining that night
With the purse bid coming, December 3rd seems to line up rather nicely for Golovkin-Jacobs on Showtime/SHOPPV (Barclays Center is available, no other fight card seems positioned to compete for the date, etc)
that would require PBC actually having some sort of long-term strategy and planning for the future, which seems to be of minor importance to them.......
I disagree, but that'd lead to a long conversation that couldn't actually be proven till likely around 2018.
Kermit Cintron? That's a a name I haven't heard in a while.
Oh for the love of God. I'd prefer Salsa 2 over the frogman. If they announce Garcia vs Citron I'm gonna hunt you down. :lol1:
it's not a question of being historically significant, it's a question of spike bringing legitimate world championship boxing to basic cable on a regular basis, something the sport hasn't had in many years.
not everybody can afford HBO and showtime. many can't even afford digital cable. access to being able to view elite (or premier lol) boxing champions is expanding. there's no denying that the marquee value of these spike cards is a big step up from the basic cable cards that were taking place before PBC.
danny garcia won the WBC world welterweight championship live on FOX and will be defending live on spike. MILLIONS are watching boxing now that weren't watching before.
how is that a bad thing?
our definitions of the word "legitimate" are vastly different it would seem......
No but the ufc card is. I guess this is just a tune up for Danny but still might as well try and get as many eyes as possible
The sooner swift gets this one out of the way the better lol.
No boxing on November 12th either.

Word on the Curb is that Kermit Cintron was offered the DSG fight for Nov 12th in Philly, but the offer was too low. Rejected. #boxing— Raging Babe (@RagingBabe) October 6, 2016
Oh my goodness...:rofl::rofl: I hope every fighter turns it down.they have to fight on short notice and get paid nothing on top of that.
look, its one thing to be a true believer and be "all-in" on the Haymon bandwagon as you are, but are you REALLY trying to infer that Garcia-Salka 2 (yes, its just a metaphor) is supposed to be some historically significant event?? Thats where your going with this???? lol
Lol I read his post and was like, is this fool serious right now? Talk about massaging Haymon's nuts. Lel
