There are more business fans in the sport today than boxing fans. Everyone talks about how the fact that Canelo LOST to Floyd means he gets to pick who he wants to fight, bully people in negotiations, weight drain people, avoid the best comp like Andrade and Charlo, get the A side, and so on and so one. People talk about how Spence is this financial king now because he took a complete joke of a fight with Mikey Garcia, a fight that got a ton of foolish DICAF fans to attend and watch thinking Mikey has a chance. And now he's the boss because he won this ****** fight.
Well, Bud just one upped y'all big time. I hate this fight. I like Terence Crawford because he was out building a legacy, fighting the best available comp in his weight classes and not going after bull**** smoke and mirrors fights for massive paydays, even if it means the idiot casual fans will call people like Postol or Horn bums. This is a fake fight, a smoke and mirrors fight, a fight that will be one of the easiest of Bud's career, but will trick the casual fans into thinking he's a legend now.
But now when he beats Manny Pacquiao, who is a shell of his former self and got his ass beat by Jeff Horn, Bud will be able to say that he dethroned a legend, just headlined a ppv that did half a million or a million buys, and gets to call all the shots now. And espn will fawn all over it. It's ****** as hell. But that's what y'all wanted and y'all got it.
This is what happens when the fans care more about business than boxing. It is killing our great sport.
I can see it now. When Bud beats Pacquiao, he will become the diva that y'all wanted him to be. Just like the other divas everyone glorifies in this sport. It's a sad day for the sport, but this is what you have to do to get fights now I guess.
