dang Valdez s Marriage was on PPV? what a stupid move nobody knows them
I know the ESPN model is horrible for PPV, ESPN only lets you order the PPV if you signed up for ESPN + so on top of the monthly fee you still have to pay the 75 dollar ppv hd fee
you cannot order the Crawford vs Khan fight unless you have ESPn + thats why its messed up
you never had to have HBO or showtime to order the PPV
That's not true at all. My buddy ordered the fight just fine through his cable box and he doesn't have ESPN+.
I don't see how khan is stalling... The dude took a huge fight with Canelo and got rocked and then had surgery on his hand and currently is recovering.. It's not like they could fight right now even if they wanted to.
What? Where have you been past 4-5 years. Khan has been dodging Brook for quite sometime now.
I still didn't see a bite, is there another angle that people are watching from? All I saw was Floyd put his glove on Maidana's mouth, I didn't see actual biting.
The very first replay they showed fight night gave the best angle of the bite. There's was a little window between the arms that you can clearly she Chino bite him. Idk if it's on YouTube or not, but if you watch the fight again im pretty sure it was the very first replay they showed. The replays after we're harder to see but the crust one shows it all.
lol smart move by mayweather, he knows his PPV wont sell for **** so he wants khan to fight on it so his UK fans will buy the ppv so mayweather can get over a million buys so he can continue to say "im the biggest draw" when he clearly isnt.
You can't be serious. Tell me one Khan fight that drew more than Mayweather's..I'll wait.
Better get used to him. The torch will be passed to Crawford and Loma.
I could definitely see that. Both are just on that level. I haven't even watched the fight from tonight, but I know from watching Crawford and Lomachencko before that both these guys are the truth. Doesn't mean they're invincible.. but they're in a higher class than most. I also am starting to think Frampton is of that class as well.
Cuadras won. He was hitting Choco at will with well put together combos with power on em. He systematically broke him down to the point Choco's punches lost steam. He was hitting his body like a heavy bag and using Choco's head like a speed bag. I honestly don't see how anyone saw Choco winning, if anything he got exposed. Nothing about him screams P4P number after his last two fights.
It's all smoke and mirrors. Just the second time Floyd side stepped Maidana. Marcos knocked out Victor Ortiz and later Floyd still chose Ortiz. Floyd was never going to fight Maidana, that was never his plan. That was name dropping for image control purposes . Manny Pacquiao is available. Provodnikov is available . Shawn Porter, Tim Bradley are available. It's amazing how Floyd would chase an Amir Khan nobody has even given credit to in 3-5 years as opposed to fighting someone credible. Watch Floyd choose between Paulie Mags and Amir Khan because neither fighter can hurt him.
Most of all the guys you named are TR fighters. .Floyd is not trying to do any biz with Arum n Co.
Its 2016 not the 1970's son. So my point = american heavyweights = worthless crap! :fingersx:
Because or big men go play football and basketball, where they become bigger names than anyone from across the pond has EVER been. We breed superstars, you guys are hoping for one in AJ lol. That's not a knock on the kid bc he's looking great and could possibly be the best in the division..but Let's not start on which country has done what because you'd be foolish.
The question of course concerns money. Mikey said that Gamboa wanted more money (50% more of what Mikey is getting)
Does Gamboa deserve to get paid as much or more than Garcia? If he does, why can't his promoter put up the cash?

You're late as hell. Read the comments on that post
p4p means nothing.
Sturm is a bigger fight for GGG, so is Martinez, and you're fooling yourself if Chavez isn't more lucrative than Ward.
Sturm? Really? Stop it man. Chavez ya probably slightly more lucrative, but don't pretend Ward fight has no draw to the point is not worth fighting him. And yes P4P does matter, who doesn't wanna beat the best? GGG knows he can't beat Ward at this stage in life or else he'd be willing to fight him In the attempt to become the next P4P'r. A duck is a duck my friend.
Face condition is not a legit argument, BUT, it's a disgrace that a great fight like this is again tainted by bs scorecards. 117-111 is a disrespectful card for the fighters and for the fans, and the sad thing here is that where are getting used to it.
Must say I was rooting for Chocolatito, but I saw Cuadras winning rounds 1,5,6,10,11,12.
Lederman's scorecards were biased. You can tell by his comments saying "Cuadras was running too much". Even Kellerman disagreed with Lederman's position.
I had it even by the 6th, and saw Cuadras giving a boxing lesson in the final rounds.
My honest opinion here.
I agree with you completely. Had em tied after 6 but had Cuadras winning 4 of the last 6. HBO was pissing me off with their clear biases.
Hopkins is not as clever as he thinks he is. S***t like that only works if you do it secretly. So if he did have any control over Stevenson's mind, he just blew it!
He tried to rattle Calzaghe by looming over him like a big scary giant. When Joe stepped up laughed in his face, it was Hopkins who got rattled and blurted out that dumb S***t about never losing to a white boy. Lol.
That's where you're wrong. It's all part of the game if you ask me. You think he told his 'secrets' accidentally? With mind games you may be able to out think a thinker. I don't doubt for a sec that Bhop said that shxt on purpose to get in Stevensons head, and look what happened. Now Adonis is all riled up. It's all part of the game. Gotta peel back the top layers, don't be so simple man.
I thought Jack edged it, but I don't think this fight can be called a robbery. Floyd is talking crazy. He acts like this was some big robbery, but then discourages a rematch smh.
I hope they make the fight. I'd bet on One Time though. Keith seems to be stronger and unlike other people on here I think he's quicker too. Not counting Danny out but if washed up Judah and Herrera can swole Danny up I can only imagine what Keith does. On the same note, Danny's got some good bodywork and Keith looks a lil susceptible to the body punches. When it comes down to it I think Keith will want it more.
I can't wait until these some of these big egos take a loss. It's so annoying listening to them talk like "Ain't nobody beat me!"
Both Thurman and Garcia need to take a loss. I'd say GGG too, but he's not as arrogant. Ward, but he's kind of mellow also.
If they weren't so arrogant about it, it probably wouldn't be so annoying.
How could you read this article then turn around and say Keith has too much ego??
that's a great fight I forgot about brook but I think danny will fight maybe devon, the ghost, broner for his first few fights at welter
I thought Broner was fighting at 140?
I like GGG, hes a great fighter and has some amazing power. But from watching this fight I don't think he's ready for Ward anytime soon. Though his punches are hard and compact, and his balance is always on point, he was getting hit with some pretty telegraphed shots from Adama. Only thing is Adamas punches had ZERO pop to them. If GGG fights a fighter who can withstand the power, move around the ring, and has some decent power themselves then we will really see how good GGG can be. This fight didnt really prove anything except the fact that someone of the Adama class can hit GGG. Ward would have GGG confused in there and unless he could land a one hitter quitter, he would end up looking like Canelo vs Floyd.
Show that you are not a coward like Ward , fight GGG
Haha you cant be serious. The irony in this post is monumental. Wards gonna fight Kovalev at a hif her weight class. GGG was scared to fight Ward at 168 and ran the a Canelo playbook of excuses.
Regardless of where they fight, Ward will spank that a$$. I hope they can make this fight happen
Exactly. People thinking the location will change things, abs praying Ward has ring rust, and that the judges will do some home cooking, and then, only then, does Froch have a chance haha. Ridiculous.
And this is exactly why Team Wilder avoids Top 10 opponents like Ortiz for 2 years now.They even found an excuse not to face Ortiz because of his past.But what happens if Ortiz becomes WBC mandatory ? Will Wilder vacate his title then ?
Why would Wilder fight Ortiz in his first fight back from major surgery?? Makes zero sense
If you all look at compubox GGG lands at 41% and gets hit at 25%...41% is the 2nd highest connect percentage and +16 is also 2nd...getting hit at 25% is not that bad for someone with his style...Ward connects at 38% and gets hit at 24%...so only 1% more does Golovkin get hit more then Ward...with his style and his chin thats darn good...
Ya but you got to consider competition. When you are fighting Adamas of the world your stats are going to look a lot better. Everyone he's fought is afraid of the power so they are scared to throw their combos effectively.
The judges that scored this fight should never be allowed to score a fight. The one that had it 114-114 should be shot.
That was a brilliant performance by Floyd for the most part he stayed in the pocket and masterfully picked Canelo apart. I would be hardpressed to think of a round I could have given to Canelo.
Through the years I slowly have become a Floyd fan from his more mature persona plus performances like yesterday makes it hard for a boxing fan not to appreciate his superior skills. Plus it is much better to root and appreciate his skill than it is to want him to get KTFO.
I agree completely!
No, he didn't :lol1:
He did not look good at all. Wilder himself knows it, look at his demeanour post-fight.
His demeanor post fight was that of a man truly worried about the condition of the man he sent halfway into a coma.
Did Bradley lose before that and then almost catch a L to a washed up fighter prior to his fight with Pac? Bradley actually deserved a Pac fight, Khan needs to build his resume back up bc he's only been looking horrible as of late. Be butthurt if you want, the truth is the truth.
