[Chuckguy]

Better show than you sorry az in a fight that u cheated worst than PAC and margs put together. Maximus worked ur az in less than 3 mins! First round KO!

No Bob Arum is killing the sport.

The multiple belts and commissions are killing boxing.

We need 1 governing body and 1 belt per weight class.

Promoters need to be regulated like sports agents in any other professional sport

Klitchko jab fests are awesome

[Snake...]

And you know what's funny, he still is the 2nd highest selling PPV fighter per fight next to Mike Tyson.

Floyds PPV numbers were GARBAGE till the Oscar fight....Oscar's PPV sells>>>Floyds

Dawson lol...only fighter who is actually top class mentioned is Andre Ward and no offence to the man but his fights are boring as ****

As well as being boring, these fighters are all very protected. People make a big deal about Paulie going to the Ukraine and winning - this is what foreign fighters have to do every time and even if they win they still get robbed. Ask Kotelnik, Khan, Kessler, Campillo, Lara, Matthysse, Zaveck, Katsidis they'll tell you, victims all, but mere collateral in the vain search for the next US star to make corrupt old men richer.

It's a good thing there are exciting foreign champions in boxing like Martinez, Pacquiao, Froch, Cotto, Alvarez, Khan, Maidana, Bute etc because left to the US fighters alone, boxing would already be dead and buried.

this is the truth

How about you name some fighters that are not "boring" like you said that are not American. I love KO's just as much as the next fan but not every single fight will end like that. I like to see some defense as well. Watching a fighter make another one miss and then punch the piss out of them is just as exciting to me.

People hate that America is center of the boxing world, it's just how it is. And yes, America still has the best fighters of any country.

Floyds PPV numbers were GARBAGE till the Oscar fight....Oscar's PPV sells>>>Floyds

Because he hadn't become a huge PPV star yet. He still sold 360k with Gatti, 350K with Judah, and 315K with Baldomir, which was very good considering he wasn't a huge draw yet. What are the most PPV's Oscar sold aside from his fight with Floyd....1.4 million against Trinidad. What are Floyds.....1.4 million against Mosley.

On a per fight basis, Tyson was the highest selling, with Floyd in 2nd. Look up the numbers. Did Oscar sell 1.4 million with Mosley???

You could easily say Floyd and Pac, per fight right now, sell more than Oscar did at his peak.
