i saw many old time poster post stupid sh1t like a noob.
relax... it will happen, this is the biggest HW match-up since lewis vs tyson. but both fighters need to build their popularity more, none of them reach "global superstar" status yet. for me personally it will be STUPID MOVE if they fight this year.
assuming both fighter keep winning and k.o everybody out this will be super mega fight in early 2020. the money generate will be more than enough to make everybody involved have early retirements.
at this stage is bussines not a sport.
it was a dissapointment, but i dont think it matter much to the fighters when they collect $100mil+ cheque from it
Of course, those a-holes don't care! But they need to remember, without fans, they're not multi-millionaire boxers.
The Pac vs Floyd debacle was a disgrace. Both were way past it by the time they finally fought and it was the biggest disappointment in boxing, especially given the record PPV & seat cost. I certainly hope Joshua vs Wilder doesn't vaguely in any possible way resemble that garbage.

Err, Bowe dumped his WBC belt instead of fighting his mandatory, LL.
RJJ vs DM was worth $30M in Europe easily.
yes bowe was ducking lewis but one of the reason that happen is because there are more lucrative option than lewis (rematch holyfield). if the option were limited like AJ vs Wilder rightnow i believe bowe wil be forced by his own manager to fight lewis to make "huge fight" kind of money.
These are heavyweights and any punch can end a fight. Seems kind of risky if you ask me.
Mke the fight and make a rematch and maybe another rematch. Lots of money in the rematches.

so it took 4 years but it happen doesn't it?? and LOL at you bring up RJJ vs BH/DM, none of that is mega fight not even big fight.
this will happen because it will generate massive money, and both side marinate it to achieve that. maybe glory and all that sh1t matter a little bit but 90% is all about the MONEY.
why do you think Bowe vs Lewis did not happen?? because second fight with Holyfield or even waiting for tyson release will generate more money in to everybody pocket, except lewis ofcourse.

Ah I don't hate Floyd Mayweather. It pissed me off they both let the deadlock go on for as long as it did. I mean they were in the same weight class FFS. And yeah I would have preferred they had an immediate rematch to not having one because Pac could not have his shot, of course that was his own fault. (Actually I would prefer they had a rematch now compared to a bout in the UFC.)
Mayweather and Pacquiao could have fought 3 times by the time of their first fight. How much money might they have made. Truly the worst example you could have chose, only Floyd was satisfied with the fight we eventually got against an older, injured opponent. I hate Floyd and I'm glad he's gone.
Shoulder was BS. He said he was healed by salt water :friday:
I think it will happen...but I’m beginning to think it won’t happen next. Which is what I thought initially.
Again, I don’t believe Joshua is ducking. I just don’t think his team wants it now.
I understand business but unfortunately im just a fan who wants to see the fight, Floyd many didn't happen due to testing and then after that both Floyd and pac milked the storyline unil later.
Smoke and mirrors. No one can tell me Floyd didn't duck the fight for 5 years because he got millions to fight safer fights.
not even Freddie roach and bob arum who both admitted they were the reason the fight didn't happen when everyone wanted it?
If this fight was promoted properly, it could happen mid 2019.
I hope it does happen sooner than later.
I’m all for marinating a fight, but we got two undefeated lions, and there can only be one lion king!
I don't agree with that. The fight is big now. It has marinated enough and it won;t get that much bigger. I don't think either of them are so good that they can't lose to somebody else and then the fight is not so big anymore. They should fight now but I doubt they will. Neither boxer wants to fight in the other boxer's country.
