That seems to be the more common now Post-Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight!
Just to name 3 fights I have wanted in the last 6 months but won’t happen for the next 18 months(I hate to admit it but it’s true unless proven wrong in the next 18 months). Joshua vs Wilder/Spence vs Crawford/Lomachenko vs Davis are fights we have wanted for more than 6 months but won’t happen in 2019 and probably even 2020. It’s sickinin!
Marinations in boxing need to end ASAP!
That's why boxing has no fans in the US. NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college sports, UFC, Golf, Tennis provide instant gratification. There are too many other sports with great matchups providing entertainment. You don't have to sit around watching Vargas-Dulorme, Andrade-African, Miller-Dinu. Those fights are more of a punishment to fans than a reward.
Great points. There's one obvious thing that separates most if not all (college sports can be a wild card) from boxing - they play or fight who they're scheduled to fight, and that's it. It's no coincidence that the one sport where the team is given the power to decide who they or who they don't go against, is the one sport that has major issues with quality and matchmaking.
If you're the Golden State Warriors, the New England Patriots, or even a bloke in the UFC - you go against who you're told to go against. The closest thing to that in boxing is corrupt organizations trying to corner people into fighting mandos.
As long as the power is in the hands of the participant, there will be problems.
Not only that but if champions are not going to fight each other can you fight somebody that is top 10 in your division , you have top 10 rank guys waiting months/year to get a shot too... Jobbers get all the title shots now
Lol true in this Era guys like Martin Murray, Gabe Rosado, Darnell Boone have more shots at the top guys than the Marquee names
Marination is BS, its promoters/fighter trying to milk their position, its doesn't boost up a fights appeal up ten like everyone thinks, and people always bring Floyd/Manny but we don't know what the numbers would've looked like when they were averaging a 1M PPV in their prime, might have done 5M
Top fighters don't want anything to do with each other doe.
They fight their own individual fights. It is as it is.
What you do to enjoy these meaningless fights is hope against hope.
Root for the underdog, pray for massive upsets.
Cheer for the guy, jump up and down if you're in the audience
whenever the cherrygobbler gets hit.
Even better is raise funds and hand it over to the underdog's training camp.
It will be better to boycott and not watch their **** fights! Hit them in their pockets! I’m stream their **** fights until we get good fights!

Yep, thats the common denominator. When Haymon wants those fights to get made they will happen. All of the PBC cards that they just announced are in house, so it might be a while.
In all the PBC cards Fox announce for non of them are competitive! We all know who going to win! Boxing needs true matchups between A level vs A/B level 60-40 50-50 type fights not A level vs C level 80/20 type fights. Is like watching a movies where you know what going to happen so why watch it!
Who's the manager involved in all those fights?
