A Mayweather / Pacquiao rematch ? Who wants to see that again , especially now that they qualify for 10% off at Dennys ? That fight ****** enough the first time. I'm sorry that I watched it.

PBC has a massive stable and most of the fighters were inactive and looks like it was due to Showtime pulling away from boxing.

...Or the stable costs too much money and fighters were refusing to take less in order to remain active. It's time for PBC to stop hoarding their stable and let them take opportunities that other networks/promoters are offering. Fulton shouldn't be the only one who's allowed to take a big fight off PBC island.

"they" have been giving that kinda stuff to us for years now and after show is gone it will be worst -- bc as dry as the fights have become esp PPV events it will get worst as the source dries up the people some people get more desperate for what the want.

You just caused your old English teacher to punch himself in the balls , twice.

Keef fights only slightly more frequently that Groundhog Gary.

Thurman hasn't held a title in damn near 5 years, will have three fights in nearly the same stretch of time, and yet gets a PPV match!

[Pigeons]

They are putting all their name fighters in a card maybe to attract another form of viewing fights in the future since Showtime is out and to the public, "Look what you are going to miss..."

D

Why weren't these guys fighting for the last five years when PBC had contracts with CBS, Showtime, NBC, NBC Sports Network, ESPN, FOX, Fox Sports 1, Spike TV, Bounce TV, and ITV?

We're not gonna miss 35 year old Keith Thurman fighting twice every four years. We're not gonna miss Danny Garcia fighting twice every 3 years. We're not gonna miss 40-year Erislandy Lara at the end stage of his career.

PBC has done severe, severe damage to the sport of boxing. Boxing is on the f**cking verge of being as popular as cricket. This is bad.

They're not exactly lighting up the world with this fight. But, This fight should be the main event compared to that s--tty Garcia Lara matchup that NO ONE asked for.

This combined with the Colbert rematch will have me watching this card now. Still wont get A dime out of me for the PPV though.

Keef fighting all the ranked 1 opponents in each org

WBC = Barrios
WBA = Stanionis

Meanwhile boots continue fightin bums with no wikipedia pages

Boots is a high risk, medium reward opponent because he’s an elite fighter who’s not really a star in the sport and is only really known by hard-core fans. It’s going to be extremely hard for him to line up fights with other top contenders. Thurman, on the other hand, is the definition of a low risk, high reward opponent given his name, age and inactivity. Every welterweight in the world wants to fight Keith Thurman because he’s still a big name and they all think they can beat him. Thurman couldn’t get the marquee fights with Spence or Crawford, but he’s certainly able to make any fight he wants with the 2nd tier guys.
