So it is Barerra's fault that Hamed wasn't prepared to fight him? I think some are confusing peak with prime. Hamed certainly wasn't punch drunk or massively out of shape when the fight occurred. He was certainly in his "prime", just not peak condition and was beaten handily.
Don't confuse Hamed being an idiot with him being past it.
It's the dumbest thing I ever heard. He was out of his prime because he stopped training. What logic.
did it ever occur to you that tom "boom boom" johnson pretty much smokes every fighter that hamed fought from 1998-2001? Or are you ignorant of his career?
Are you trying to throw out a name and hope I don't know what you're talking about? Tom Johnson was probably one of his best wins - and, along with the Robinson fight, one of his most consistent performances. I'll even ignore the fact that Johnson was on the downside of his career and had been quite inconsistent prior to facing Hamed. What you fail to understand is that neither the 96 version, the 98 or the 2000 version of Hamed would've beaten Barrera. 70% of the board agrees.
Khan haters mad because Bradley made a business decision that ultimately was proven correct? So that means they're ducking? SMH. Time to let the childish **** go.
Wow...Well, I think it's fair that we can use the same logic with Mayweather. We're talking about the biggest fight out there. Talking about a fight where both guys would get about 100 mills.
And you tell me that "if Pac really wanted the fight" he should have taken that offensive offer.
he didnt take the 50-50 either and his fans give him a pass talkin about how he accepted like a year later
Mayweather is the biggest PPV attraction in boxing. But that's not only by himself. For Mayweather/Guerrero, Canelo left the undercard.... and what happened? Not even 1 Mill PPV.... Same with Pacquiao/Bradley.
They both need opposition with a good fanbase to make more than 1MM PPV buys.
How u know that? when showtime said it did?
showtime refused to release official numbers due to it doing around 800k ppv buys, reputable sources confirmed it did near did
as they said at the time, you can believe them or live in cookoo land, they have nothing to lose by lying and nothing to gain by the truth.
everyone needs a dance partner for a ppv to be a success
when did they refuse to release official #s? u makin **** up. the president said it did over 1mil buys. You saying he was lying?
We don't need to imagine that....After Pacquiao agreed with testing, Floyd came with the NO 50-50... 40 mills and no PPV revenue bull*****.
Amazing how easily you forget that detail.
Took him years to agree tho. He didnt deserve even split after all that.
Why not?
And was the 40 mill NO ppv revenue a good offer? Honestly...
Nah that wasnt a good offer that was a **** u. same way pacquiao said **** u to 50-50 before
You don't know sh#t about boxing
No way AJ gets the KO in 1 round. I think it will go the distance actually but it depends on Ruiz his chin. Ruiz is about as good as Parker. Fast hands with great stamina. If his chin is as good as Parker's he will also go the distance with AJ like Parker did. But if he can't take it yeah then he will go down but certainly not in the first round. He will bring a fight. Ruiz is way better than a Breazeale who got battered every second of every round vs AJ.
ruiz is immobile. if joshua wants to stop him in one, he can.
gee einstein, I dont know why he would be asking people on here, a site for boxing discussion, an opinion question with no right or wrong answer.
maybe you should stop being a dumb phaggot
don't project sissy. can't even look at your profile because it's gayer than richard simmons. twirl your ass outta my face, twink
You mean if he just goes in there throwing like a wild man throwing haymakers hoping to land a big one? Ruiz has some skills, it will be tactical early on with Joshua working to set up his shots.
joshua doesn't need to do that. just stand ur ground and let ur hands go. ruiz's head and body isnt going anywhere.
well wilder ducked the fight and 100 million so we know why that fight isnt happening. the fury fight should be made since he beat wilder anyway but i dont think they want that fight. fury is too slick
here u are again :lol1:
Marketing will know more about viewing figures/subs than most.
dazn marketing yes. not just any marketing. im sure there are many marketing guys on this website. im one. doesnt mean i have accessto dazn subscriber numbers.
now maybe somebody told him. but i dont care for vague thirdhand info
fans dont realize how gullible they are. but that's how it's supposed to be.
in a year or so, spence vs crawford wont be the biggest fight that can be made.
in a year or so, it will be very difficult for crawford to remain relevant.
meanwhile, the winner of pacquiao vs thurman against the winner of spence vs porter...that's a bigger fight than any other in the welterweight division.
which means, spence is set for a fight against someone who has accomplished more at 147 and is also a bigger fight financially.
and that's why there is such urgency from arum. i get it. just do the right thing and let that man fly or he's gonna be stuck forever.
lmao you're just mad because this goes against your DAZN is failing narrative. This guy has actually worked in the boxing industry and has connections. Who are you to say he isn't reliable?
its shady to say he's worked in the boxing industry. only time he worked in boxing for hbo was when he was fetching coffee for real bosses or in the mailroom. and he'll admit that. didnt your mama teach you to question the source?
thats why it says marketing exec because it was in another department, not boxing.
