Comments Thread For: Four Not-Quite-Hot Takes On The PBC-Amazon Debut Card

Here's another take on this card, specifically focusing on Martinez v Cordova.

Remember this crap?

Adam Abramowitz appears to be the primary culprit for the fact that the 112 lb Ring belt is still vacant, as it has been for 7 years, and Bam just vacated his IBF belt ahead of his fight with Estrada, so there's not going to be a Ring champ for many more years. Martinez didn't even fight his crappy opponent back then, Dalakian got dethroned, and Bam beat down the #1 like he was an old rug, and is unquestionably the King at 112. And despite that, he's still not Ring champ because Abramowitz didn't want to rate his work at a higher weight division, and thinks that Martinez has an equivalent resume. I hope Cordova pulls the upset just to really stick it to Ring.

Miss the HBO days when we got great fights to build up guys names so they were ready to headline a PPV card because they built up a fanbase.

Now every mismatch and showcase fight is a $70-80 PPV and then they wonder why it does low numbers. Fans don’t have an opportunity to learn about these guy why would they pay top dollar to watch them fight.

HBO getting out of the fight game really hurt it.
