This dispute will be settled before the NFL season starts. Time Warner cant just drop CBS and go without the NFL and SEC football. This has nothing to do with Mayweather. Showtime is just caught in the crossfire because they are owned by CBS.
Devon ends Khan no matter where the fight is. The first short right hook that Devon lands inside will end the fight. Devon somewhere in the first 6 rounds.
Somebody with a brain; I appreciate you. There isn't a American cable company who can go without showing foootball.
Time Warner and FOX are having the same beef. And last year Time Warner went through this with Direct TV over the broadcasting of the Lakers games. They will come to an agreement sooner rather than later.
He marketed himself perfectly as a fearless philly enforcer, he stepped up to the plate to face GGG when nobody else was willing and built himself up a nice little fanbase.
Stop with the nobody will face GGG bullsh1t. I swear you guys. Its like if you keep repeating bullsh1t enough times it suddenly becomes true. Nonito doesn't want to face Rigo, until he does. Danny don't want to face Lucas, until they sign the fight. Floyds afraid to fight Canelo, what do you know the biggest fight of the year signed, sealed, and delivered. Have some respect for professionals that do this sh1t for a living.
Martinez promoter - I ain't putting him in with that beast anytime soon
Murray - we didn't get an offer, I swear! JK ricky hatton says they did and says they aint gonna fight just yet cause he'll lose (lol)
Sturm - Paid to get upgraded to super to avoid fighting Golovkin, his mandatory
Quillin - Said Golovkin is too risky to fight unless he gets a huge payday
N'Dam - never wanted any part of Golovkin as "interim champion"
Edwin Rodriguez - Refused fight at 168
I won't bother will Geale or Barker, but those names are some of the biggest at 160 and they all got some "excuse" or reason not to fight, I'd love to see you defend em all.
GGG himself is only making 300,000 per fight. What kind of legitimate offer can he really make to Serg, Sturm, or Murray? 2 years ago GGG was too much of a risk for Quillen. But this is now not then.
Like I've said in the past I look at Broner still as a prospect. He's a draw in America so the big fights are going to come. People on this site just have too much of an agenda. People still think Danny Garcia is scared of Matthysse even though they are scheduled to fight each other. LMAO
This freakin Rosado is Teflon. How does this guy get all these title shots? He just got stopped less than a year ago by GGG. This dude is Zab Judah minus all the natural talent and ability.
Rosado has only gotten one title shot. This one he hasn't actually earned, but WBO probably won't make noise over it.
He didn't even deserve the first title shot. I know he won an IBF JMW title eliminator but the guy he fought had like 12 losses. He belongs on ShoEx with the rest of the prospects. I got it. Rosado vs one of the Charo brothers. I should be a freakin match maker.
lolololol Floyd groupies making excuses..... what excuse do you have for the Hatton slaughter compared to Floyds performance against him??
Roach did say he saw fresh IV marks on Oscars arm. Go back and watch episode 1 of the Hatton Pacquiao 24/7. I know you hate Floyd and all but it's kind of hard to refute when it came out of Roach's' own mouth.
Selling the fight is part of the business and Lucas has to do his part. His promoters had a 3 day press tour planned and he just bailed? Dude gets the fight of his career and he pulls this sh1t. Then watch this dude kick and scream for the big fights afterwards. Kind of disappointing when you think about it.
All sparring can help if the sparring partner is willing to work hard. You don't have to just do the same thing over and over in sparring for it to be effective for the opponent you are about to face. Sometimes it's just work.
Or aren't doing well, it can go either way.
Your right i've heard that too.
The term "world champion" doesnt mean what it used to mean. Resume's are defined by who you fought and when you fought them.
Robert Guerrero was not a world champion, nor was Ortiz, Baldomir, etc.
Than who is? Is Danny Garcia considered a world champion? Who has he beat? But if Matthysse wins this board is going to shut down for a weak. I don't want to sound like a Floyd apologist here but I don't understand peoples reasoning sometimes. We treat people so different on this site. What 1 person has done isn't good enough while praising others for the same accomplishment's. There is no consistency at all.
The fact that Matthysse can be hit is what makes this fight so compelling. Both fighters have a real shot at winning. Alot of people act like Lucas is unbeatable but I believe 2 to 3 clean shots on the chin and he'd go down. The same goes for Danny.
The first thing that comes to mind is how slick and durable Zab remains even past his prime. He boxes nicely, has lots of heart and exploits his south paw well.
The second one is how easy it was for Zab to land on Garcia, and how close he came to KO Garcia in round 10.
Comparing this fight to the Matthysse-Judah I think both Garcia and Matthysse won by points (even if Lucas lost to the judges) , but a less experienced Matthysse still managed to dominate more and get hurt less by a younger, closer to his prime Judah.
Given that this was Garcia's last fight and just a few weeks away from the big fight with Matthysse, Garcia looks easy to hit, with heart, but not particualrly skilled or crafty. Its more about him taking punches and landing his own, and bascially relying on his power. On the other hand Matthysse's power is on another level, so is his chin and andurance and stamina for all 12 rounds.
I guess I'm stating the obvious here and these are the reasons why Matthysse is favorite. It should be a good fight though. I think Peterson was a better fighter, but it should still be a competitive and fun fight to watch.
Thoughts? (other than retarded trolling please)
Your all on Matthysse' nuts. We get it.
The cold war between TR and GBP is nothing new. The break up between HBO and GBP/Haymon/Mayweather is what's making the difference. Broner vs Malignaggi was a HBO leftover, for example. People now don't expect to see Showtime making Broner vs tomato cans, Canelo vs cab drivers, Berto vs ??? Showtime has limited resources, It can't afford to waste money on garbage fights.
So it's getting better...
Limited resources? Showtime is owned by CBS which grosses 4 bil annually. This deal will GBP allows them to expand their boxing budget because they have the stable of fighters to invest in. They have always had the money.
People are saying Pacquiao lost a step when its really hes fighting much tougher competition. (ex. 1st ballot HOFer JMM vs Guerrero, imagine if Pacquiao fought Guerrerro - he wouldn't of raised his hand after the fight thinking he won like he did against floyd)
Canelo and Rios are about the same to me. Canelo is alittle more technical but he gases out while Rios can take a punch and keep throwing the whole 12 rounds
Tougher competition? Really? He hasn't fought a legit WW in years. In fact his last 4 fights, including Rios, his opponents have a combined 0 wins at WW going into the fight. I know you hate Floyd and all but man can you at least pretend to be objective.
Why does he need a press tour? The fight is Under May - Canelo, it's already sold.
While Danny wants to flt around the World, Matthyse is on a mountain trying to catch Lions.
Who cares if the fights already sold. It's a Golden Boy event and he's part of the company. It's his job to help sell the fight and he's not doing it. Everybody else is doing their part. And you wonder why nobody outside of boxing knows who this dude is. He shouldn't be acting like this after he worked so hard to get to this fight. He wasn't fast tracked to a title shot. He needs to be doing his part.
After he kills Danny on the undercard, he will be known by 1 million + people.
How many go or watch tours compared to that? Not 1 mill that is for sure.
While *****es want to see press tours, Matthyse is carving a 1 piece coffin for Danny from a tree he chopped down.
I just dont think blowing off the press tour of your first major title fight isnt a smart career move. The press tour is booked apparently. Golden Boy is loosing money. If I were Schaefer I would take it out of his end to teach him a lesson. These fighters want the big fights with the big purses but they dont want to put the work in.
The kids still an amatuer but apparently he gave Canelo good enough work for him to send one of his other sparring partners home. But Shane Mosley Jr is 6' 165lbs. Im not sure how this helps Canelo.
Who knows why he sent his other sparring partner back. I've heard of sparring partners get sent back because the were kicking too much ass. But this should be a good expierence for Mosley Jr. Im sure it's helping him more than Canelo.
Im looking at it from a real point of view. I dont think Rigo will ever be a 130lber. At least not while in his prime. Hes 32 and he's kind of undersized at 122. Plus Broner would be young, kind of raw, with great physical advantages. Now if both fighters measured out evenly I would fancy Rigo over Broner. But I dont think Rigo will ever compete at 130 now or in the future.
Lol I said from the beginning Garcia would like to fight Mathhysse.
By "avoiding" i'm not saying he's ducking him. Khan has a big pair of balls, but his management wouldn't want to put him in there with someone like matthysse.
Matthysse is a fighter on the rise what's to gain by avoiding him? Especially if he gets past Swift. Now if he looses you might have a point.
Bertos problem is stamina. He's wound up too tight and he's burning energy and putting a mental strain on himself in the ring. He can't relax. That happened to Jermaine Taylor as well. It's not the training because these guys are in shape.
It will probably be easier for him to fight Mayweather, and probably also easier for him to avoid the likes of Mathhysse I would think.
Same thing you guys said about Danny Garcia. Why don't you give these fighters a little credit? There a lot tougher than you think.
Floyd was saying he doesny know him personally. floyd didnt evwn know who luiz collazo was and he's a boxer. i dont feel floyd was taking shots at silva but to each its own. fuk silva, who cares?
We live in a troll world now. If your not bent down on you knees for a fighter/athlete/sports team than you are a hater. Start getting used to it.
