Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi's Picks: Gervonta Davis-Lamont Roach shouldn't be on pay-per-view

whenever fake tough guys like Teo Lopez and Lomachenko stop throwing rocks then hiding.

You can shït on Teo but to denigrate Loma is just sacrilegious. But but but ….

The only PPV that I remember being seriously boycotted was the Roy Jones Jr versus Julio Gonzalez fight. A few of us from the old HBO Boxing Forum got together and created "THE ROYCOTT" . We wrote to everyone that we could think of , including the boxing press and it got noticed. The Roycott was the reason that RJJ came out with " Ya'll must've forgot". At that point , we had forgotten , Roy had been fighting a bunch of nondescript fighters and carrying them , his fights had gotten extremely boring. Nothing will change unless boxing fans not only boycott the fights but also make noise about it. If we boycott a fight and no one knows that we did , it's totally meaningless. The Roycott was just a handful of us but we were able to amplify it by using the press and boxing figures as a force multiplier.

People pay to see Tank and the opponent is unimportant. It’s the same with Canelo . They are making a profit therefore they do belong on ppv .

I disagree. You should be paying for the fight, not just the fighter! That's one of the issues with boxing today. Canelo or Tank against top dudes should be P.P.V. Against guys like Roach, no way!

[Bronx2245]

yea true fight fans have to stop paying for fights and also stop paying attention to fights that do not matter and are just a way to keep certain fighters and there promo boys in the money. i always beleived that if two or three big PPV fights were seriously boycotted it would get the attention of the Promoters and match makers. But getting fight fans to agree on much of anything is a long shot at best. everybody knows G.Davis is a manufactured undeserved PPV fighter.

Tank gives his fans what they want, KOs! Unfortunately they don’t ask about “who” he’s knocking out! Canelo is even worse, but people still pay!

tank loves to fight teeny tiny guys moving up: cuellar, ruiz, roach,hector garcia, santa cruz or drain bigger guys with rehydro clauses: ryan garcia, barrios. the guys that he fights that are the same size just arent very good. a finely tuned fraudulent strategy
