Pacquiao-Matthysse was a bigger deal than this fight

Easy to hype up a Pacquiao fight.

Ugas also has a great story but it’s not being told.

I’ll watch and your right… I’ll go to a cheap pub and nurse a gin & tonic. And see old stank me pissing and dumping a creamy..

being a cheap old codger is more of an art than a science

People were actually pretty excited for Pac vs. Mattysse, especially since Mike Alvarado's name was being tossed around as a potential opponent.

Also, people were interested to see how much Pac left in the tank. He was robbed against Horn, but didn't look very good in that fight.

Mattysse win or lose was an action fighter, Ugas not so much.

Lucas was a shot fighter, ugas actually has a chance of winning.

I agree but there seemed to be more excitement from the general public for that fight.

I was more excited with the Lucas fight. At least Lucas had a 85% KO rate when he fought Manny. Ugas only has 40% KO rate.

A big part is probably the disappointment of no Spence fight. All the air just gone.
