So Porter and Maidana are low ranked guys?
Name 1 guy on Porter or Maidana level GGG has fought?
And he did this by 25. GGG is 34 Come on guys wake up.
The top guys today have beat top people to get there. So they are not overrated. Its when people try to add people as elite fighters that have never beaten more than a gatekeeper is the issue. Guys like GGG are NOT top guys. He has never beat anyone more than a gatekeeper. Below are the guys that have beat elite competition and have fought since 2014.
Mayweather
Pacman
Klitschko
Bradley
JMM
Cotto
Hopkins
Kovalev
Ward
Stevenson
Rigo
Yes it is.
Thurman's win over Guerrero is better than any of Khan's win on his last 4-5 fights. Khan's best win was Alexander recently and Porter tops that because he beat Alexander one year before Khan when Alexander was a champion.
So far Guerrero>Alexander who was beaten by Porter > Alexander who was beaten by Khan. Maidana's win over Broner for me is equally good as Porter's w over Alexander but I give Maidana the slight edge because he gave Floyd a really hard task.
And lastly Algieri is 9th because I had his fight with Khan a draw but he is less proven in welter so he is one place behind Khan.
Garcia and Pederson are both at 147 now and have beat Khan. Garcia in devestatung fashion. Both need to be ranked above Khan.
If HBO loses Arum who is left for Kovalev, Cotto, Canelo and others to fight? All roads lead to PBC for big fights. As sone as Schaffer comes on board when his non compete is up with his promotoes liscense it is game over. All young fighter will sign with PBC to be on network tv.
Golden Boy only has: Canelo, Lara, Mares & Santa Cruz. Everyone else is gone. In California were Golden Boy is at......that state does not let Non Compete Clauses stand up in court. All of the fighters not listed are with haymon and have been promoted by a fight by fight basis with Golden Boy. All those fighters will now go with Haymon and Schaefer to a new company. Oscar and whats left of his guys will fight on HBO against top rank guys. Basically oscar has the same amount of big name guys as 50 Cent now.
Who does everyone have. Fight will be signed soon.
'Floyd Mayweather vs. Danny Garcia Deal Almost Done For September 13 Clash' according to a few sources
WBC/WBA Super World/The Ring junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia has been presented with an offer to take on pound for pound king and WBC/WBA Super World/The Ring welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather - who is also the WBC/WBA Super World/The Ring junior middleweight champion - on September 13.
It is understood that a deal is very close and an announcement is imminent. Mayweather and Garcia will go on a major promotional tour to several cities to promote fight - accompanied by their fathers and trainers; Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Angel Garcia.
It is unclear whether Garcia would step up to 147lbs to challenge Mayweather for his welterweight titles, or whether Mayweather would drop down to the 140lbs division to challenge Garcia for his junior welterweight title. All will be confirmed in the imminent announcement.
People thinking Maidana won is funny. Clean Punching, EFFECTIVE AGRESSIVENESS, Defense & Ring Generalship is how each round is scored. Maidana def won 4-5 rounds but that was it. I had it 7-4-1 for May
What people do not get is when Maidana had him on the ropes and flurries with 12 punches only landing 2....mayweather wins that exchange for defense, Maidana loses clean punching and effective agressiveness. Mayweather in junges mind was getting credit when that was happening.
Some people just are not smart. Since Mayweather signed...as well as the whole Golden Boy deal with Showtime....they have increased monthly subscribers by 1,000,000. HBO has lost 500,000. Both Premium stations are hurting from the increased loses due to hulu & netflix. At $14.99 a month and the 1 million new memberships they attribute to Mayweather and Golden Boy Showtime has gained $14,990,000 a month is subscriber revenue. Over a year that number is close to $180 MILLION. Now not all that is showtimes money as providers get some. However you must account these net gains into the fights. To say mayweather loses a major company money that is owned by CBS is laughable. They wouldnt have made the deal if that was the case.
UFC is reeling really bad. Dana White makes himself look like a clown. He will never let woman fight in the MMA. Then allows it do to declining interest. Now he is signing a bunch. As Soon as Rousey loses that is over. Just like how he said Kimbo Slice would never fight in the UFC unless he won ultimate fighter. Kimbo lost in 1'st round. Then got 3 UFC fights. There PPVs are all under 400K buys now. Some at 100K. I think if UFC was smart they would change out Dana. He turned alot of people a way from the sport. He comes off as a D bag, much like the Afflictions wearing guys at BW3 that watch it there.
Maidana doesnt have a chance. Rewatch his flurries closely. He can throw 12 punches he is only hitting cleanly on 1. Even is those flurries Mayweather wins on Defense & Ring Generalship. Chino loses on effective agressiveness and clean punching. Chino needs to learn to pick his spots and throw 4 solid shots. Not throw like a rabid dog missing and getting your shots picked off.
Broner vs Matthysee? Come on guys why would Haymon put him in with Lucas this quick. Gotta play the Broner vs Mexican angle. Lopez is a legit name that Broner can beat easy.
During down the biggest payday is his career over a drug test is evidence enough. Where is that espn interview from years ago when brian Kenny asked him about taking a test and all of a sudden pac couldnt speak english. Its not rocket science. Pac was on them. Show proof he wasnt? Pac refused to do that.
How do you want floyd to fight that isnt with TR? Half of you said he would never fight or beat Canelo. That was easy work. Canelo doesnt want that ever again. why do you guys hate him so much?
Some of you are moronic. Yes on a PPV Showtime may lose on the Mayweather contract. however BIG PICTURE. They are very pleased. Showtime gets $7.99 per provider each month from each subscriber. Since the Mayweather contract signed in Deb 2013. Subscriptions jumped up 1.5 Million. 800K of those are boxing fans that now subscribe that didnt before. Its been 15 months. 800,000 x $7.99 = Profit of $6.4 Million a Month x 15 Months = 95.8 Million profit that they did not have before. Mayweather vs maidana PPV's are simply a lose leader. A Event thats a loss that leads to or must be down to maintain other profits. A little business 101.
More proof just last night. When talking about the fight in Omaha Arum said to do it down the road at a casino. Crawford said NO and took less money to do it in Omaha. The casino bid more then the arena in Omaha. Hence Taking less guaranteed money. Once a bid is made that is what the venue most pay regardless of what tickets are sold or not sold.
