    Self ownage. You sound like a manager, dude. Why the hell should you care what the fight grosses? Tonight we saw a good fight with a lively, exciting environment. And you have qualms about that?!?
    Kaynan,

    Why are fights often made or not made? Money...right?

    I am ABSOLUTELY UNAPOLOGETIC about the fact that I diligently track the business and economic aspects of the sport.

    As Mannie/Kellz said at the top of the broadcast, Joe's perspective is "why should I go to the US if I can draw 50K at home"?

    Why did we not see RJJ-BHop II? Because they were arguing about 60/40.

    The competitive elements are fine... but you are missing out on critical pieces by failing to grasp the business fundamentals. Sorry.

        This has what to do with Calzaghe's level of skill or performance tonight?

          Pavlik v Taylor is the most meaningful result of the year, but as a match up, it wasn't the most meaningful matchup. If Taylor won, it was just another title defense, he wouldn't have proved much.

          That is not the case for Calzaghe v Kessler. They were fighting for the distinction of being recognized as the best in the division. Two undefeated champions at their peaks, with similar skill levels.

            What's your deal??

            What does it matter how much a fighter makes?
            What does it matter how much a fighter gets hit (You are wrong on your predictions anyway...not like it matters)?
            What does it matter what the live gate is?


            What does it matter, DIOS? What does it matter if boxing is prosperous?

            Are you a fan of the sport???? Because I sure as hell am. And I want to see the best fight the best. I really could give a **** ass if a fighters live gate was only 7 million. It doesn't matter...because 0.000000% of the money made is not going to enter my pocket.
            Read post above.

            Would you have liked to have seen RJJ-Nard 2? Or FMJ-Tony instead of FMJ-TaTa last year?

            I'll send a hooker to your house if you pull up the post where I predicted a Kessler win. What I said was that it won't impress me when CalSlappy wins.

              Floyd got hit less.

              There is a certain contingent who would question the wisdom of your position.
              Regardless of how u try and spin it. Joe's win over Kessler >>>>>> Floyd's win over Baldomir.

                  It bears the same relevance as the 50K attendance that was brought up.

                    Mayweather vs Margarito would have been a way better fight than Baldomir. Far better.

                      It bears zero relevance. The BEST fighters get paid accordingly.
