Comments Thread For: Stephen Fulton-Naoya Inoue: The WBO Opens a Window

[jockpunk]

How many times have Top Rank and PBC matched undefeated A-sides against each other? Once. Wilder-Fury II in a joint PPV.

Inoue isn't a draw in the US and Fulton isn't a draw either. They are lower level A-sides in the Top Rank and PBC stables.

There is absolutely no feasible scenario in which it makes sense for them to fight each other. I'm sorry that you got fooled by a clickbait article.

Whether I'm an "insider" or not depends on your definition of insider. Do I work inside the industry? Yes.

You're labeling me a "wannabe" to cope with me exposing you as a wannabe. I'm happy to compare credentials if that's the road you want to go down.

Since you work inside the industry do
you think there could be enough money in Japan to make the fight there?

On the Porter Way Podcast they said Fulton said he was going back to 122 after the Figueroa fight, so who knows

Make it happen. Let's see Naoya continue to make history.

The dollar amount PBC would want to sell the 0 of one of their young undefeated champions on another platform would be so high that I don't see it being feasible for Inoue's team. I just see no way for this fight to make sense to both sides.

I'd rather see the Figueroa rematch to be honest

plus when a fighters been talking about moving up it usually means he's struggling to make the weight

I hope Figueroa is coming to the East Coast! Fulton has earned the right to be in his own backyard this time! Philly or Brooklyn will do!

He's earned the right by getting a gift decision against figuroa?

While I’m skeptical. I do think it’s possible. They won’t collaborate but they might let Fulton fight on ESPN I think.

Yeah I think that's possible also. They could offer Fulton a career high payday, and expose him to the biggest audience he's ever been in front of. Plus neither fighter is ever going to headline a ppv.

I'd rather he fight Estrada. If he demolished Estrada that would really show us what level he truly is. Fulton I expect he could outbox. Of course he is after legacy.

Don't be surprised if inoue or top rank turns down this fight. I don't think inoue wins this fight. Fultons has way more tools than inoue and will not stand there like an idiotic punching bag like inoue's last opponent.

You're out of your mind, there's no reality in which inoue outboxes Fulton. Clearly you have never watched Fulton fight, maybe not even inoue.
