Comments Thread For: Matias-Ergashev: August 15 Purse Bid Scheduled For IBF Title Fight

[Bronx2245]

Going to purse bid? Not a good look! Can't understand why it's so difficult to promote Matias? He's a real gift to boxing fans! 19-1, w/ 19 KOs!

PBC sucks when it comes to the promotional side of the sport. That’s why.

Fir the most part they have no clue what guys to focus on or how to make them grow and shine.

Ergashev is the fresher, more balanced, gifted and complete fighter between him and Matias. That's why some are picking him as the favorite in this fight. However, Matias has been in a lot tougher than Ergashev. He's proven he can give it and he can take it. Matias has fought through adversity. This fight could turn on Ergashev's ability, or inability to hurt Matias and keep him off of him. If it's the latter, and Matias prevails in their fight. People will have to sit up and recognize him as a force to be reckoned with against anybody at 140. Conversely, if Ergashev wins, he too should be recognized as one of the elite at 140. May the best man win. This will be a great fight for the fans.

Depends on who your promoter is! Romero should not be more popular than Matias! Pitbull Cruz should not be more popular than Frank Martin! Boots should be at least neck-and-neck with Tank! Ergashev should be a household name! PBC is definitely killing the competition, but only for those at the top of food chain!

It also doesn't help that they have their entire roster sitting on their ass all damn year. It's one thing to have their "stars" inactive and fighting once a year, but their damn PROSPECTS aren't any more active.

Say what you will about Top Rank, but they have the deepest prospect pool in the game right and they're ACTIVE. Guys like Keyshawn, Isley and Anderson have already had 2 fights this year., Shu Shu is about to have his fourth. Meanwhile my boy Cody Crowley signs to PBC, upsets Punisher in an IBF eliminator two years ago, and he's only had 2 fights since then.
