How can some of you guys defending Thurman stupid decision?? and then say he might get a shot at Floyd??? LOL Thurman cant even get a one of those so call top welter weight in his division that's also under contract with Haymon to fight him. Thurman has been put on the back burner for way too long now and will be entering 2015 still on the back burner.
The deal was a excellent deal, the only reason he refused he knows Haymon is NOT HAVING IT. Haymon literally has his soul.
kind of a who's the tallest midget argument, IMO it's Arum because he's in it for just himself while Haymons fighters for the most part have benefited financially from being tied to him
You making it seems as if TR fighters are not being finacaially benefited as well. The thing is Haymon fighters benefit more because he constantly have them fight low risk bums for good money.
I vote Haymon. He has too much talent and not giving us the fans the fight we want. I understand he wants to take care of his fighters, but this is a sport just like any other. The best should go up against the next best. But showtime let him get away with it so i dont blame him for milking them.
Ok ill wait and you go on hating and thinking the Bradley v Chavez matchups and draws, to keep them relevant, are worth it.
Not my fault Pac re-signed. Arum stable is crap. But you will keep waiting,crying, begging, and complaining for great fights and not get them.
You had a better options for Bradley coming off lost or yet a better option period???? Please share.
Im not saying Bob is great but he doesnt have great options like Haymon...
Youre kidding right.
And no we havent seen what Haymon is gonna do.
Im not kidding... Yes Pac vs Algeri was garbage..... but who else at that time was the best realistic option for Pac? Haymon has way too many talents to give us all mismatches.
Al Haymon aint gonna do ish but keep milking showtime and next NBC. So yea keep waiting on his plan thats what he want us to do, to make us fans keep waiting,crying, begging, and complaining for great fights.
Arum.
We have to see what Haymon has planned but have seen the snake Arum at work already
Ive seen Haymon plans so far.....Made Peter Quillen turn down $1.4mill and vacate his belt, help steered Stevenson away from Kovalev and Hopkins, steered Thurman from not taking the $6million 3 fights from Roc nation, gave us Garcia vs Salka....... and the list goes on. At least Bob now a days is trying to match the best vs best.
So Algeri was his only and best option?? really???
At the time yes. Remember they were counting on Ruslan beat Algeri.....If you knew a better option at the time please share??
LSC have a great chin and can walk right through Rigo with his relentless pressure. I think it would be a lot closer that what you guys think. He wont be scared like Donaire.
Floyd should do the challenge than ask 50 to do a "throw out the 1st pitch" challenge.
LOL Floyd will lose his challenge. I believe 50 will get the pitch right next time.
I also truly believe Thurman is the real deal in years to come. I believe a guy like him should not be with Al Haymon. He should be on HBO getting great exposure like GGG and Kovalev.
I like Thurman, but he's kind of irrelevant right now tbh.
When you look at what a guy like tim Bradley was doing to get to where he got, Thurman isn't even close to accomplishing anything like that at this point.
He's only irrelevant because no one really wants to fight him and Al Haymon and Showtime not forcing these top WW they have to step up to the plate.
At first I thought the ref should've gave Quillin a standing 8 count, but at the post fight conference Quillin agreed with the ref decision. So after that i guess it was the right call.
I think this is good unification fight, maybe even PPV worthy.
I think Canelo will win a close UD.
Then Canelo will have 2 straps with GGG 2 straps, then a undisputed show down in Sept.
you guys need to stop with the guy is "too green" and "hes not ready yet"....Loma fought for a title at his 2nd pro fight and lost, but still went on to bigger things and became a champ.
This is the opportunity of lifetime for Beterbiev to pull off a great upset. He has nothing to lose but that 0. And getting beat by Kov is not bad thing. It will earn him respect.
If he gets in the good graces again they will keep padding him up make no mistake. Hopefully he doesn't get shelved like Gamboa did because of the legal sh*t thats a sad thing to happen to any fighter and its been a while since anybody heard anything.
After that lack luster last performance at the the Gardens I think HBO was done with the padding that's why they ONLY wanted the Gamboa fight.
I like Lucas but no way hes putting down Ruslan. He better try to out boxed and keep him at bay most of the fight. Yes Lucas got better skills but that Ruslan heart and will is some serious shyyiiettttt to deal with. Lucas doesn't have the speed, footwork, movements like Algeri and Bradley.
Lucas is no longer the boogie man after what Danny and Molina did to him. Ruslan is the real boogie man even though he lost, his opponents win by surviving the fight.
Provo heart, killer insinct, and superior chin will make in prevail in this fight.
Lucas is not going to out box provo like Algeri and Bradley. Lucas can box a little but DOESNT have those type of Boxing skills like those two and those were close fights.
Lucas fan boys are starting up the hype train again.
Hahahah Canelo fans are full of ****! Now we should thank Canelo for Mayweather-Pacquiao happening? Hahahah les forget about Les Moonves is all about Canelo.
I said it was ONE of the reason, we all know Floyd wasnt really looking for Manny with all his excuses. Floyd hit a road block either lose the May 2nd date to Cotto/Canelo or fight Manny....You really think Floyd/Khan would do better than Cotto/Canelo on May 2nd? If so your a idiot.
Yes we should all thank Canelo for ONE** of the contribution in pressuring Floyd to fight Manny.
Your stupid, this is one of reason Floyd is fighting Manny now, cause he didnt want to lose that May 2nd date. I actually thought it was a good thing for Canelo to try to take that date back.
Bob and Pac said they agree to all of Floyds terms.
Floyd havent said he agreed yet. All he keep saying is Pac ppv are low and Bob is being difficult and blah blah.
Why havent floyd come out and say Bob and Pac didnt agree to his terms yet? If Bob is lying.
Floyd and his team have not once denied Bob and Pac claims yet..Why?
Lamest excuse in a long line of ever-changing excuses the so-called Money man has come up with to avoid the biggest money-making fight in Boxing History. He also hates De La Hoya with a passion... yet has had no problem the past 8 years or so letting Oscar promote his fights, supply him flat-footed no hopers, and sign his checks.
Let me guess, the reason he's also avoided a speed fighter in Khan the past 2 years despite them having the same management team and working with Golden Boy is Bob Arum?
Truth is- if Floyd doesn't want to fight a guy, he won't. Doesn't matter who the promoter is.
Amen to that!
lol I noticed a lot of x fl*mos are now saying neither. I guess it's hard to admit that your guy is 100% in the wrong so you just gotta spread the blame around :lol1: fact is if the fight doesn't happen there is ONE person to blame and that's floyd.
Anyway BS aside ... pac v kahn is obviously the more intriguing fight.
Amen to that!
they both agreed
Discussions to make the super-fight are proceeding, with Mayweather and Pacquiao having expressed verbal agreement to a purse split, a drug-testing plan and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as a venue, while network executives from Showtime and HBO on Tuesday discussed a joint pay-per-view broadcast.

LOL at the reliable latimes..... the fact that BOB and Pac came out and said in public multiple times they agreed why hasnt Floyd or his team came out say they also agreed?? who cares what the latimes say... Floyd didnt say it.
Espinoza has been VERY vocal about the fact that Arum has been full of ****.
What are you talking about?
Espinoza said that no contract have been drafted. That doesnt mean Bob and Pac havent agreed to Floyd terms. Like i said Floyd side have not denied Bobs claims of them agreeing to everyting.
YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?
