Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu vs. Keith Thurman: PBC on Prime PPV Official For March 30

[Tag, You're Hit]

I'm assuming it's because Tszyu can't fight an unranked fighter at 154lbs without some repercussions from the WBO. Fighting at 155lbs removes the issue.

That sounds accurate.

Will be interesting to see if Amazon foots the bill for one of these upcoming cards. Otherwise it just seems like Amazon will be the future domain for 8-10 annual PBC PPVs, haven’t read/heard anything to the contrary on that front yet. This catchweight main event nonsense to kick off their streaming partnership ain’t it.

I thought catchweight was somewhere in between. This is over the limit. Sue by mismatch and cherry picking.

A CW is a contracted weight that is not the lowest limit of the weight class; its a technicality play on words , people parrot Catch Weight, its actually an agreed Contract Weight by legal definition.

You can flippantly chalk it up to emotional PBC haters, but it rings hollow when we’re looking at the 1st fight card under the Amazon banner. That’s bound to be under the microscope & get some scrutiny. So far we’ve got the same formula just with a different platform—C+ fight card going on PPV in an attempt to meet illogical purse demands. If Amazon starts footing the bill for cards then we’ll have a better idea of their commitment to boxing.

Said it before, but if Tszyu targets thermos' body... it'll be game over in no time.

I guess they are buliding Tim`s name for Crawford.

I wonder who fights Crawford next. Crawford should fight Spence at 154.

Same chit with Slow Eddie
These guys just love the attention and they’ll get it any way possible , whether good or bad

They could have Crawford now, I watched an interview with Tims manager and he said there have been a lot of options for Tim right now including TC and they chose this one saying they been negotiating the Thurman fight for awhile now. They might talk TC but they don't want that smoke just yet they are smart people behind Tim.
