Hey pot meet kettle, did you see how old this thread is? who is the retard again? ain't nobody talking bout your punk ass. stop mooching off the wifi at the library and get a job you useless bum. stay in your lane lightweight.
This is what happens when HBO brainwashes people and overhypes a fighter way too early in their career. and showtime as well! Everybody thought he would beat maidana easily even after he lost to paulie.
Ali will forever be greater! never ducked anybody unlike gayweather jr who faked retirement and ducked guys when they were at their best or straight up ducked guys like margarito paul williams and sergio martinez.
Yep, that his my feeling also.
Obviously I want to see Bud vs Ugas, but with Besputin PED issue, I can see the WBA World ("regular") belt becoming vacant and with Ugas being ranked number 1, he might go that route, win the belt and then fight a "unification" fight (depending on how you feel about regular belts) for more money down the line. He then becomes a much more valuable commodity for the PBC stable.
How much money does Arum want to pay Ugas to steer him away from the WBA route?
And as usual, Bud is not being vocal about the stuff that really matter such as fighting Ugas instead of Brook. this would be a non issue if the wba stayed true to its word of getting rid of the bogus multiple wba belts. we all know Pacquiao is the real wba champion. crawford has been vocal about fighting guys who are much better than ugas. he's called out Pacquiao and spence several times.
Spence for all the marbles.
it wouldn't be for all the marbles. crawford has a say in that! plus spence's face is still wrecked from that car accident he has not been medically cleared to fight. it should be pac vs crawford as pacquiao last fight!
gayweather jr encouraged and started the whole premise of protecting your 0 at all costs even if it means ducking the best fighters or faking retirements. valdez is correct lots of fighters these days are scared of losing their 0 and won't fight the best. just another example of froid gayweather jr ruining boxing.
When BoxingScene has reported on streaming numbers they've still been crap. The numbers are bad because this was an awful card, it's that simple. The theory that it's cord cutting/streaming's fault is easily disproven by the fact that HBO still managed to place in the top 10. these pbc defenders always try to pull this what about the streamers crap when trying to defend these horrible ratings. these cards are horrible aint nobody streaming it and if there is the numbers are tiny!
Canelo's out of there. I've been saying this since last year. DAZN was writing blank checks in HOPES subs would come based on Canelo's notoriety. He can go out on his own and fight Al's guys and still be the A side and make a killing. clenelo is not fighting al gaymon fighters on pbc lol. most likely gpb moves to espn.
I think most people understood Whyte was and still is in the 2nd tier of guys, as is Povetkin. Full credit to Povetkin for pulling out that beautiful KO, but we also can't act like Whyte hadn't dominated the fight up until that punch dominating? he was up on the cards because of those two flash knock downs but povetkin was never really hurt or in trouble. its not like whyte was winning every round and got knocked out in the 12 round. povetkin put him to sleep in the fifth round.
If you think Donaire is more American than Pnoy then you have not met him. I met him once back in the gym in the Philippines, he's a bisaya, he speaks very much like a bisaya when you converse him with our native language and acts like one. what's a bisaya?
whye is no A level he is a tier below that. he lost to parker and struggled mightily against other opponents. he's had chances to prove he belongs on the same level as fury and aj but he fails time and time again.
Just throw DAZN away n get it over with. Its starting to look like a disaster at this point FYI dazn is not going anywhere they just spent millions acquiring more rights to show other sports.
It looks like they just may be on their way out of business. They are downsizing because they are not generating enough revenue at this time to pay off their bills. dazn is not going anywhere. they may pull out of boxing because its not bringing in as many subscribers as they thought. which just shows that clenelo is not that big of a draw. dazn recently spent millions on acquiring more rights to show other sports. they have money.
Eddie now has put 2 us boxing broadcasting companies out of business.
HBO and now Dazn.
Eddie is done in the USA HBO is still around. hearn never had no exclusive deal with HBO. stop making ***** up.
If I was Teofimo, I wouldn't give a sh^t what fans are saying...

In this sport fighters have to be a bit Selfish given its history of using fighters up and leaving them to die broke once promoters can no longer make money off of them. Pay him what he wants and make the damn fight! Or else he can just take his Belt, Take a Soft Touch Voluntary Defense and wait for the IBF to order a Mandatory for him. :dunno:
Who the F^CK am I or anyone on this forum to tell this man he is "Only Worth 1.2 Million" Imagine someone coming to your job and telling you "Hey You shouldn't get Time-and-a-half for working overtime this is your Job!" :nonono:
If his Manager and Team are saying he can and should get more then he has every right to try and get more. ESPN really want this fight so I think he will eventually get more. Unification can't happen without him so pay the Man! This is the only big fight ESPN has at the moment so they need this damn fight to happen.why you typing up all that non sense? no one got time for that! obviously lopez does care what the fans think as he's a very sensitive person. LOL dude has no control over his emotions. ESPN doesn't need anything they will live if this fight does not happen they have a ton of other sports to put on.
Roy Jones Jr. weighed in at 193 lbs when he won the HW title in 2003.
Do you think we'll ever see another sub-200 lbs boxer win a major HW title again? roy dd not even beat the real heavyweight champion of the world at the time so you have to go further back in time.
I got prime tyson winning! tyson in his prime was an absolute freak of nature with speed and power in both hands he was also good defensively he had great defensive head movement. prime foreman was knocked out by ali who was not a puncher and ron lyle dropped him multiple times and nearly knocked him out!
I notice you didn't answer what you'd do if you were Lopez. Tells me you wouldn't accept this deal either. Can you at least admit it.
What he thinks about the fight has no bearing on what the purse split is. That is just asinine for you to post. Loma is getting what amounts to a 75/25 split. There is no way that is fair and you know it.
Loma appears to be taking less but is it half of what he was initially guaranteed? If it is half then yes, Lopez should also be willing to take half. That said, a 75/25 split is extremely unfair.
I didn't claim he was the A side so why are you asking me to prove something I didn't state in my post? I posted Loma should get more.
Now be honest about what you'd do if you were Lopez in this situation.
He isn't taking the fight because his offer is below what he should make. I'm not the poster you are quoting but I'll chime in anyway look If I was lopez yes I would take the fight for the money amount of money being offered. everybody has taken or will take a pay cut due to the current circumstances. lopez will break and take the money he's getting hammered on social media and he can't deal with that. the fans and the media will blame him for the fight not happening. at the end of the day IF lopez really does refuse it will only hurt his pockets because he won't fight at all this year and he misses out on a loma fight forever.
I will need to see it to believe it. Porter is a straight DOG. Would be extremely impressive if Margarito would be able to stop Porter. porter has no quit in him no doubt about that but he simply does not have the weapons to hurt or even keep margarito honest. I don't remember the last time porter had a stoppage victory. he's just not a dynamic puncher. so in a war between these two margarito has the advantage in two of the most important areas chin and power punching.
Take the fight, if you're confident to and beat him.
He is in the driver's seat to make more money if he beats Loma.
The kid sounded confident a month ago. :dunno:exactly! the guy will be able to command more money IF he beats loma its that simple but he has to earn those future paychecks by beating one of the best in loma. he talked a lot about how he was going to do this and that to loma and now he has a chance to make the fight he *****ES OUT! he knows he can't beat loma and is clearly trying to cash out his undefeated record. its even possible he does not want the fight at all and will price himself out.
You think Marciano is the gold standard for heavyweights, over names like Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis? are you illiterate like your idol as well? read the thread title you dope. anyways I think it has to be rocky marciano!
prime margarito wins by stoppage. he's the bigger and taller guy and has better stamina he could actually out work porter. those lethal uppercuts that margarito destroyed cotto with and made him take a knee will land on the shorter porter with the same effect. porter's aggressive style is tailor made for the tornado. I see porter rushing into uppercuts all night long.
