There's more economic sense having it in the MGM than not having it at all Bob...
An extra $40 million my ass!!
The MGM would pull in $20 million which means Bob expects this 45000 seater arena to pull in 60 Million?? Exactly what kind of price structure does this gob****e have in mind.
Last time I checked 45000 seater arenas don't come free & with such a close deadline it'd be likely to cost absolutly MILLIONS!!!
The whole thing makes no sense. He's talking about losing millions by having it in in the MGM....
WHAT ABOUT THE MILLIONS HE'LL LOSE IF HE DOESN'T HAVE IT AT ALL!!
Barker V Macklin....... the fight just makes so much sense. They both fought Sergio, both got KO'd, but both gave him a little trouble in the early rounds. There's a domestic rivalry there and it's one of the biggest fights that can be made in Britain. Good pay day for both men.... why hasn't it been made yet!!!!!!!!????????
Where are all the real fans gone??
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU!! You call yourselves boxing fans but all you do is **** on 99% of the boxers out there. You all have a list about as short as your cock of boxers who can do no wrong, whilst every other boxer who's not on that list can do no right. Your like vermon scrambling from thread to thread gnawing & ****ting on everything as you go. You all hopelessly search for perfection, an idea that does not exist, and in doing so fail to see the good that's right in front of you. Khan isn't perfect, either is Maywether or Pacquiao, but at the end of the day they deliver excitement when they step into the ring & isn't that what a great fighter does... creates excitement.
You all need to take a step back, look at yourself & ponder the reasons why you watch the sport. Give credit where credit is due & criticism where criticism is due. Don't ride one fighters dick and fail to recognise his flaws & don't develop a pathetic vendetta against one fighter and fail to recognise his strengths.
I realise this is a bit off topic but reading through all the spam makes me SICK!!
Obviously Wlad number one & Vitali number two. After that Povetkin's the only legimate contender as he's the only decent fighter who hasn't lost to them. Mind you the only reason that's the case is he hasn't fought them yet, soon as he does he'll more than likely lose.
I think Haye comfortably beats every heavyweight bar the Klitschkos.
Theres a LOT of bums out there who people hype up because there desparate for someone to challenge the two brothers. Helenius proved against Chisora just how ordinary he is, Just as Chisora proved the same thing against Fury & Fury proved the same thing against.... well everyone.
Most of the Bums out there have already lost to the Klitschkos; Chambers, Areola, Solis, Chagaev etc. Adamek's not a bum buts he's too small and fairly limited to be honest.
On a more positive note David Price looks a good prospect as does Deontay Wilder.
I'm living & working in China at the moment & I didn't hear a peep about it. Boxing's not big at all here. I doubt 20 million watched it never mind 500. NBA, Soccer, Ping Pong & Badminton is where the party's at.
1. Mares V Moreno is the most significant, the winner cements their place in the P4P top 10.
2. Viloria V Marquez decides who the top dog is at flyweight.
3. Broner V Demarco is the first oppurtinity we have to see how good Broner really is.
4. Guerrero V Berto winner arguably finds themself is the illustrious position of being 3rd ranked welterweight.
5. Lara V Vanes.... well its just refreshing to see them in a meaningful fight at last.
6. Wlad V Wach gets an honourable mention purely based on Wlad having physical disadvantages for a change.
7. Hatton V Senchenko is one of those fights that you can't miss.... even it may appear to be insignificant.
All in All Its the best month of boxing in recent memory.
There both awful. In a a perfect world Fury fights and loses to Boystov or whatever his name is and Helenius fights and gets KTFO'd against Price, then we don't have to hear mention of either again. Its time for Price to step up, he beats all these bums no problem. Also hoping Povetkin finally fights and loses to Wlad next year. Sick of hearing povetkin, fury and helenius names.... they're all terrible, why have they've got names is beyond me.
Mayweather V Martinez, Donaire V Rigondeaux, Moreno V Mares, Khan V Bradley,Martinez V Strum, Khan V Presscott II, Froch V Kessler II, Broner V Gamboa, Alvarez V Cotto, Gonzalez V T.Marquez.
Translation: There's only 2 fighters in this divison who are any use, I'll wait for them to retire and then me and some other slob can fight it out for vacant title.
It would be a great idea to have one in 2/3 years once the Klitschkos have retired to decide the new heavyweight king.
Untill then absolutly not.
What would the Klitsckos have to gain from partaking?? Everyone already knows there the best and if both or even one of them where not to partake the whole tournament would be pointless as the winner would come out only ranked as the worlds 3rd best heavyweight and they wouldnt even have a world title to show for it. Meanwhile the Klitschkos would be left with an even smaller pool of crap challengers and we'd have even worse heavyweight title fights than we already do.
So no... in 2/3 years ya definetly... but not now.
Boycott Bob
Stop accepting these horrible decisions!! Refusing to purchase dud/fixed fights is the only way to make promoters take notice. Put "Boycott Bob" as the title to all your posts, join the movement, spread the message.
Middleweight No.2
Great victory! Zbik's a good fighter, could easily have gotten the decision against Chavez. Oh and while I'm talking about Strum I really wish people would stop calling the Macklin fight a robberry!! It was a very close fight and naturally the defending champion/ hometown hero got the benefit of the doubt. I'm Irish and there's still no complaints from me. Martinez V Strum.... we can only dream.
Am I the only one who had a feeling this was going to happen? It was just like that Kessler V Stiegliz fight, you knew it wasn't happening. No loss though, crap fight. Povetkin's no champion, he aint even a contender, the sooner the fat lump loses the better. This craic of pretending the Klitschkos dont exist is mind numbing.
His point is Guererro is calling out the No.1 p4p fighter with just words. What he should be doing is beating fighters like Alexander, Khan, Bradley, Ortiz, Brook, Matthyse etc. in order to earn it. So far he's beaten no one of note.
Croke Park!?
Croke Park has a capacity of 80,000 who does he think he's kidding!! Noboby here gives a **** about Tyson Fury. He's about as Irish as Manny Pacquaio.
Same Pac that fought Cotto? Oh right ya, that would be the Pac that scraped past Marquez the year before and struggled with Mosley 18 months later. DAMN you're so right!! Oh well at least Pac didn't let his 18 month peak go to waste by fighting dud fights....... Oh wait.
Seems to be a lot of People *****ing about the ruling... this is boxing not MMA why it was marked as a W and a stoppage at that for Dawson in the first place was baffling!
Your right it is boxing not MMA. But if it was MMA Hopkins would be the worst MMA fighter in the history of the universe to get knocked out by a move like that. ****ing big girl!!
The only reason this guy is relevant is because he's unbeaten. He's no better than the rest of the bums at heavyweight though. He's been around for fkn ages at this stage and still he refuses to call out the real champions.
