Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez Begins Training For June 18th HBO Defense

[Clegg]

Ugh very popular fighters on PPV? No ***ing way! Never in the history of boxing has this ever happened!!!!

Pistol whip being a nationalistic Mexican yet again? Never in the history of NSB has this ever happened (apart from the other 5000 times it happened, obviously).

They don't even have an opponent secured yet. This fight is on PPV because HBO and Golden Boy believe that your people are so blindly nationalistic that you'll pay to see Alvarez no matter who he fights. They don't do the same with American and Rican prospects because I guess those guys don't take nuthugging and bias to quite the same level.

As fans, I think it's natural to dislike being asked to pay even more money just to see a paper champion fight a hand-picked opponent. As fans, I think it's natural to express disappointment when anything other than the very important fights are on PPV.

Alvarez-Rhodes is just as good a matchup or better than Mayorga-Cotto.

but Im not happy with him already enterting the PPV world either...thumbs down.
