Originally posted by PBP View PostThis isn't WWE. It's a professional sport. The object is to win championships. Neither Matthysse or Maidana want this fight and Schaefer insists on making it. Both of them want to fight for a title and in Matthysse's case, he's put himself in position to do just that.

This is a prime example of how promoters maneuver their fighters like pawns on a chess board. Maidana and Matthysse are being coerced to fight one another to protect Malignaggi and Garcia. Chaves will just go unnoticed even-though he's the mandatory.
I feel Schaefer wants the title to go to the more marketable Berto or Mosley if Paulie loses, not Maidana.
Matthysse and Maidana are fighting at two different weights with no titles and don't appear to want to fight each other.
Malignaggi and Maidana want to fight each other for the title - and Schaefer won't let it happen.

Originally posted by Fetta View PostIn the WWE they all want titles so dont get that reference. And i understand the title thing but in boxing the "champion" pool has been diluted to the point everyone has a title and there are multiple champions in the same class with the same belt. Some didnt even win it. Let GBP offer them the right money and well see how important titles are.
Fact of the matter is, neither guy wants this fight, they're not even in the same weight class, both fighters want to win a world title and Matthysse is the mandatory challenger for a world title.
These guys want to be world champions. Not undercard circus acts that beat each others brains out for entertainment.Last edited by -PBP-; 01-30-2013, 11:52 AM.

He needs paulie to hold on to keep the title hostage until he can cherry pick paulie to a fighter like Khan or Garcia when they move up

Neither deserves to be champion. Good call Golden Boy, Marcos got dominated against Alexander and Paulie might be the worst champ in all of boxing.
