Same goes for Floyd Jr - wins over Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, JLC, Corley, Gatti, and finally ODLH before becoming that 8 figure purse fighter
Same goes for Pacquiao - titles in flyweight, jr feather, feather weight before becoming a star at jr WW and WW.
And now Canelo - he did the same and is still now doing it now and is currently the boxing's main attraction.
My point is a lot of currently self-proclaimed "boxing star" or "A-side) has not done enough compared to these fighters I mentioned but feels they are comparable to them - demanding purses wayyy above their market value.
Though I always root for a Canelo loss, I admire his plan to fight more in ayear (1 or 2 championhips, with 1 or 2 stay busy). As fans, we want fights inside the ring, not on Twitter.
My mother thought he was handsome too, she angrily insisted he was Irish when I told her he was from Mexico and when she heard his post fight interview in Spanish just shook her head and shuffled off in confusion.
Thanks for the kindness
Respect
Is this one of those games where you have to rearrange the words to form a sentence?
I got hired by a guy who was on wheel of fortune and he won some money
I’ll try to remember his name
He hired me to develop early versions of facial recognition stuff.
I used to wack off to vanna white white.
Some comedy funny men made jokes about wheel of fortune
Some comedians from Canada
Sadly there are boxers and there are boxing celebrities today. We have more boxing celebrities than boxers.
These boys want that Pac Floyd money but haven't gone through that fire.
just accept the fact that boxing is dead. you guys are stuck in the mud until these divas keep doing what they are doing.
The divas are sucking some life out of the sport, no doubt! But boxing is far from dead my friend. All the mudd is drying due to the Rona effect. People are losing fights they should not, which I believe is gonna lead to more boxing response which usually equals fans.
I root for a Canelo loss
My wife thinks he’s pretty
I think Ward would whoop his azz.
Your wifey thinks he's pretty? Below dude said his Mom thought he was handsome! Can't help but chuckle.
My wife used to think ODLH was nice to look at too. As embarrassing as it was. I can laugh now.
Oscar was super hyped in the Olympics though with the story of his mother. Add to that he was a handsome devil, he didn't get there purely on wins, he had a great story too.
Exactly This! Oscar became a star during his Olympic Run
Well for one, Oscar was a huge star with a ton of hype the second he entered the sport. He didn't NEED to face tough competition to be a PPV guy, thankfully he just fought them because he had the competitive drive to.
Secondly, boxing has changed significantly since even Oscar and Floyd's initial PPV success. It's just the way things work now. Everyone wants PPVs and big demands because that's how fighters make money with boxing's decline in popularity.
Third, demanding big purses and to dictate terms has been around forever, even when a fighter doesn't necessarily deserve it.
they run the welterweight division.
Crawford can stay at top rank and wait for the undisputed lww to move up. However people won't respect that.
So what options is he left with? he has to join the pbc and just get in the mix.
im tired of people hating on porter/danny garcia. crawford should join pbc, take out either of these guys, then he's ready for spence jr.
in the meantime spence jr vs keith thurman needs to happen.
if crawford insists on 50% again he'll have to prove it vs porter/garcia by absolutely leathering them in ways spence couldn't. it would also be a better guage to test his true 'ppv value' because i know black boxing fans in the USA arent interested in top rank. they're interested in pbc/fox cards.
He is ready for Spence now. There is no need to build anything, there is no need to marinate. Aside from Joshua v Fury it's the biggest fight to me made in the sport RIGHT NOW. its the fight everybody wants.
I don't care who is asking for what right now, we need 2 things, 1 is for Spence to actually want the fight and 2 for representatives from both sides to sit down and speak.
There is no need for Crawford to "prove his worth" fighting other guys 1st. We need 2 sides to want the fight and sit down and atleast try to sort something out. So far there has been nothing. Social media alone gets nothing done.
Crawford says he wants it but has made a demand that needs talking about , Bob says they want it, Spence has been very dismissive since day 1 and the PBC act as if Crawford doesn't exist.
I don't believe Spence or the PBC want a non PBC fighter coming in and beating their PPV star. Although 250k doesn't exactly equate to a star.
Thing is I'm a Spence fan. I'm just trying to be realistic about everything I've heard and read and quotes by both fighters and both promoters.
Why? Is joining the PBC an accolade of its own?

These Divas like Spence, Lopez, Crawford, Wilder, Porter and many more are all demanding much more money than they actually bring back from their fights.
Crawford is a 3 weight world champion but he isn't bringing in huge numbers and is bleeding Arums bank account. He just isn't worth it. Porter isn't worth chit but apparently 2 million for him to be given a title fight is a low ball? Are you kidding?
Then there's the excuse machine Wilder, 8 times his highest ever purse to fight for undisputed was a low ball? Take the opportunity you fkking diva and then you likely become the cash cow. You take the fight to earn the right. You have to follow the rainbow to find the pot of gold. And then 120 million was "Mayweather training camp money"? Well for 1, it wasn't and for 2, you ain't Floyd Mayweather mother fkker.
Hell I could go on for ever with this diva BS. I wont even go in to why Teo Lopez has completely lost the plot. But at the end of the day it all ends with a bunch of very good fighters not fighting each other which clearly damages the sport and actually makes these diva Boxers worth less cuz the public lose interest in them and get put off them eventually?
American Boxers bragging about doing 250k or 300k in PPV's? Since when did they become good numbers when PPV's used to be done by the million? They say its just the current climate, BS. If Tyson v RJJ can do massive numbers, if Floyd v McGregor can do massive numbers then so can the current Boxers. But the current Boxers are not making the right fights and it's put ppl off.
Spence had been in with Brook, Porter, Mikey Garcia and Danny Garcia
Keith has been in with Porter, Danny Garcia, Pacquiao.
It makes sense they should fight next.
Crawford is irrelevant in that mix until he joins the pbc.

TBH, other than Pacquiao, those are not murderers row - or at least not comparable to what ODLH, FMJr, and PAc faced prior to becoming boxing's star.
And this is not about Spence and Crawford only.
It took ODLH several championship wins against several tough opponents before he became a high PPV seller with high purses who can dictate his own terms to others . . .
Same goes for Floyd Jr - wins over Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, JLC, Corley, Gatti, and finally ODLH before becoming that 8 figure purse fighter
Same goes for Pacquiao - titles in flyweight, jr feather, feather weight before becoming a star at jr WW and WW.
And now Canelo - he did the same and is still now doing it now and is currently the boxing's main attraction.
My point is a lot of currently self-proclaimed "boxing star" or "A-side) has not done enough compared to these fighters I mentioned but feels they are comparable to them - demanding purses wayyy above their market value.

If a fighter sells tickets/ppvs, that’s all that matters. Unfortunately fighters/managers these days use it as an excuse to avoid the fights everyone wants to see.
