American promoters are going broke but they just don’t want to admit it. What is sad is that they had decades to come up with a plan and has some sort of commission that would’ve made everybody $$$ and kept the fans happy. Instead we got TR,PBC and GB barely spending $$ thinking a network will save them and the well is drying out.
Arum promoted to the best of his abilities but the last 5 years been terrible since his cronies took over. Todd Degoof ran the ESPN deal to the ground.
PBC burn bridges with every American sport metro L’s and since now Amazon doesn’t give them a budget. We are left with 4 boxing cards the whole year on Amazon.
De La Hoya even with the strong Mexican fanbase in the west coast sucks ass as well. They don’t even stage big fights in LA or Vegas. Small domestic venues
I agree it’s a bad move but plant wants it for personal reasons. Even if he wins he won’t be the same fighter after the hell he has to go through to win.
I doubt Plant vs Canelo was going to happened since the whole promoter thing and networks issues
Sad that Bob Arum and Top Rank can’t cough up a extra million to make this fight. Give Lopez the extra money and if he wins you got the next big boxing Star if he dethrones Lomochenko.
Boxing don’t care about it’s fans. Shows you how much the sport is hurting that the “best” American boxing promotion company can’t even pay one of its top fighters some extra $$ while you paying Shakur Stevenson $400k to fight a Puerto Rican mechanic in the bubble. Come on now
If Crawford retires I don’t ever want to hear he was the best 147 of this era without doing anything hahaha
Oh that bud Crawford is top 10 147 of all time.....what’s his best wins.......postol and Horn
They owe him a title shot at Joshua for the WBA, they better not screwed him over because what’s the point of the these eliminators??? If your house fighter loses they just throw it out the window
I remember the first time I saw a boxing forum and joined it was Maxboxing and then when that was dying I came over to boxingscene back when you actually had some good boxing fans with knowledge.
There was no bashing and alts it was just boxing, now it’s just fanboys from all the over the place who root for promoters ,networks and fight purses more than the actual fighters.
Hmmmmmm.....I wonder if a white fighter wanted to get 2 black announcers fired, what will happen?
Wilder looking worse and worse as a sore loser and it’s not about race but real talk this type of stuff makes him look racist
I find it funny that Canelo is the face of boxing but nobody knows him really outside of Mexico and US. The DAZN signing of Canelo is probably one of the worst signings in boxing history, there is no way DAZN going to make a profit off of
Canelo plus he’s getting $35 million to fight the likes of BJ Saunders saids it’s all.
Canelo’s last fight against Kovalev was boring and he almost lost to a raging alcoholic who struggled making 175 thus
Why he fighting Barrera at a catchweight.
Canelo is a good fighter but he’s isn’t great. Everytime he’s steps up he’s loses, he is the Mexican version of Miguel cotto without the luxury of being backed by the WBC
- -Must make U the Mexican donkey cross dressed as El Puerco.
Haha what does that even mean. Put the poms poms down brother, love and respect the sport and stop being such a nationalist
I hope this fight gets made, I see Lopez pulling a huge upset and TKO’ing Lomochenko since I don’t see Lomochenko eating one of those Lopez right hands or Lomochenko gives Lopez a boxing lesson.
The way boxing goes Lopez will move up to 140 and win a vacant belt that arum will serve up to him. Lomochenko will stay at 135 and fight another Top Recycle fighter in a studio but paid for it.
This fight won’t happen ever
I’m going to have to say Pacquiao wins the early rounds but then Tito takes over in the second half and stops Pacquiao.
Tito was a beast at 147 and has the second most welterweight title defenses at 15 and he is the longest reigning welterweight champion for almost 7 years. Trinidad struggles with speed and angles but that was against de la Hoya who was a big welterweight and Hopkins at 160, both just in size have more physical attributes than Pacquiao. I love Pacquiao and he fought in a welterweight divisions with small welterweights all disguise as 140 pounders.
The way boxing has been in the last couple of years its always been empty arenas with fans able to be there. Sport sucks and the fans don’t care anymore
Props to Ugas. A lot of people wrote him off after losing to Imam and Robles but he got in a nice winning streak and got a big fight with Porter in which he won but PBC needed Spence-Porter PPV to make some $$$. I want a Crawford-Ugas fight or Ugas-Thurman but i doubt that anybody wants to fight a guy with 4 losses.
Imagine a fighter Orlando Salido fighting in this age, nobody will want to give him a fight with all the losses he had.
There is no chance whatsoever of tyson fury knocking out wilder.
Literally zero.
Fury isnt a puncher, he doesnt commit to his punches like a puncher, and he has no power.
Wilder is too much of a dog, and opening up against him means ppening yourself up to getting knocked out.
I have a better chance of growing a second penls than fury has of knocking out wilder.
How fast can you grow that extra dick? Lol wilder just got schooled it happens in boxing
Its not going to happen.
Gas him out and stop him due to attrition? What are you smoking right now? That means he opens himself up to getting knocked out. He's not going to open himself up and risk eating a right hand. He's going to use his legs, pitty pat jab, and then catch wilder coming in. But wilder is going to be patient and wait for the right opportunity.
There is no chance whatsoever of wilder being stopped.
I’m smoking good Cali bud but seriously ghost rider, I know Fury doesn’t have power but I really think he’s going to win in the exchanges and if he hurts Wilder then even better but in the late rounds wilder won’t have anything in the tank.
Did you forget how in the same rounds wilder dropped fury in the 9th and 12th that fury buzzed wilder and had him going back?? Fury got no power but he’s got enough to stop wilder who isn’t a heavyweight great
I’m glad everybody is positive on this PPV numbers but let’s be real I think the PPV sells about 300-400k at the most even with all this promotions.
Fox and PBC and all their croonies on social media can say it sold 800k-1.1 million buys but the truth is it will be 300-400k let’s not be naive. I am a true boxing fan all my co-workers are going to just watch on a stream feed instead of spending $80 for one fight

Fury doesn’t have KO power but he’s got enough power to gas out wilder and stop due to attrition. Wilder stamina is still a question mark, he fades around round 7

Be a man and own up to this hahaha with that 2nd ***** you can use it and put it up yo ass.
Terrible boxing fans too dam prideful and it bit you in the ass
Meanwhile look at the amazing opponents guys like fury bjs Smith Charlos tank Loma ggg have all faced lol
Dumbass canelo haters here don’t know what the fucckkk to complain about anymore dumbfucvksss
If you complain about canelos oppnent selection after facing Jacobs and Kova back to back then surely you all must be going crazy at the opponent selection for guy slike fury Loma ggg Charlos Smith etc those guys resumes are utter garbage compared to canelo
He almost lost both of those fights and he was a heavy favorite hahaha. Won’t fight any live bodies, fight Benavidez at the true weight limit of 175. That fight sells like crazy
It was the sneak body shots from Ugas that nullified the charges. Like they always say its the punches that you dont see coming that hurt the most. A perfect example of this is look how much more effective Ugas' body shots were on Porter than Spence. Simple reason is Porter and Spence were chest to chest on the inside so Porter was tensed up ready to get hit to the body even when many of them that Spence threw were low blows.
So surprised how the lanky Ugas was able to get those body shots in on porter. Porter is a beast and even though he’s the smaller fighter most of the time he physically manhandles you. It was a good fight and I know porter doesn’t want the rematch.
Crawford—Ugas would be a solid fight as this moment
Refresh your memory on why Ugas is every bit as credible or even a better opponent than Porter based purely off skill. If you want to make sure you're not crazy in thinking Ugas won read the comment section.
Ugas won that fight. When have you seen the bull rushing style of porter negated?? Porter was on his bike trying to box and got outboxed. He look lost in there but again PBC wanted to make porter-Spence to make some $$$. Spence-Porter, porter was himself but against ugas he didn’t want that smoke haha
He beat Indoungo to become undisputed at 140 hahahaha I remember how much hype that fight got on ESPN and Indoungo was bad man.
Sad thing he will win another belt at 154 against a foreign top rank champ and then claim he’s a 4 division champ......HOF hahahahaha
Beterbiev is the only old fighter canelo doesn’t want to mess with. Canelo likes to fight older fighters but Beterbiev will KO a Canelo late since Canelo got a good chin.
Canelo doesn’t want to fight Beterbiev,Plant,Benevitez or Bivol. Now he gladly happy to fight a ancient war torn GGG is who is even older smh
U do know Plant turned him down? Need a link???
So speculative news is a win for Canelo? Don’t believe anything you read when it comes to boxing news, Plant’s manager is my boy and golden boy never gave Caleb a offer.
He ****ing asks for it. The dude is delusional.
1. Hes failed two drug tests
2. He campaigned at 155 for fear of moving up to 160
3. He waited 3 years and vacated a belt to avoid golovkin
4. He had to weight drain chavez ****ing jr of all people to feel comfortable in fighting him.
5. Fought fielding for a secondary title
6. Got a gift draw against ggg
7. Got what alot of people say was a gift win in the rematch.
8. Gift against lara
9. Put a second day weigh in against jacobs
10. Second day weigh in for kovalev who just fought a tough fight two months earlier
11. Kovalev was old and just fought and hadn't recovered from his fight against yarde and acts like kovalev was the prime monster he was 4 years ago
Every point you made is nothing but facts, get ready though because Canelo fanboys going to attack haha
Canelo is the new Mayweather, low risk high reward is his game now. Can’t believe his team has came out and written a letter in Canelo’s defense, they been on ESPN deportes with the guy he hates to explain his side of the story. Nobody believes his smoke and mirrors
Can the ref stop waving off the fights and just do his job and count to 10. Even you know the fighter won’t be able to make it count and if he’s up by 10 ask him how he’s doing and make the call.
I don’t like the fact as soon as wilder land a big KD punch, count to 10 instead of just waving it off like a crazy man. Fury fight will be stopped by 7 out 10 refs in boxing
