    I think Corrales and Hatton deserved it less than Bradley.

    It's all because of the Gatti induction.

      We don`t need that fight anyway, just make Tszyu - Crawford in may.

        I feel bad for Keith...

        But the Gods shines down on him he has no business fighting tsyzu out of his weight class no belts with a extra pound to boot vs a guy that clearly visibly walks around at 180 and should be at 60-68... Thurman is a small guy and 154 looked like a stretch in spite of how much Thurman sold this fight, the boxing Gods shines down and we didn't get a canelo charlo situation and ruin a elite fighter. Now Keith could face Crawford, boots, Errol Spence or Charlo if people desire to see his corpse.... Hopefully Keith is right back in the mix once he heals

PBC has spread its wings to a high value target in Amazon instead of your standard alphabet network. You believe for one second the millions a promoter puts up front and all the hundreds of thousands used to spend in promotions of the fight is in an effort to purposely sabatoge their own fight two weeks out to lose money!?

          Youve got to be a special kind of ****** to even think this comment
          Haymon still have a issue paying these guys it seems, in my mind Keith one of the smartest boxing minds said he wasting time to himself as Thurman the draw, the ppv could fail, no belts was on the line, and at 155 and a decision was made

              this really sucks, feel bad for Tim, charlo wont fight him, he is trying to build up his notoriety, this would have been a good name for him even though thurman is shot, boxing part popularity contest and for tim to get the fights he wants like a charlo or to get crawford to come up, he needs an international fan base.

                yeah the promoter are struggling. the experts in the field, HBO and showtime pulled out, if it was highly profitable they wouldnt have left they obviously saw things getting harder and harder as time went on. Then you had DAZN's early years with venture capital funds they were willing to overpay and lose money. Now you got the saudis who dont care if they lose money as its to promote their brand for tourism or whatever. So all these fighters wanting super high paydays and willing to wait out just not fighting at all if it comes down to it. also all demanding the promotors front the risk because that is what mayweather did except mayweather actually sold PPVs in a different era. now ppv sales are way down.

                its gotten so bad even a supposed cash cow like canelo, cant keep a promoter because he wants to be paid $30+ million to fight some scrub that will only generate 300k PPV buys, the math just doesnt work so the promoters would rather walk away.
