    Yeah but the problem is if Bradley vs. Mayweather was made the only people in the arena would be you, me, TMT, the Band Camp and the Watson twins.

    There is no money in the ****.

    Whereas if Mayweather fights guys like Ortiz and Khan, he gets a $41 million sparring session and Bradley can continue to get million dollar paydays against guys like Pac, Rios, Alvarado and Ruslan.

      I think your favorite fights have both boxers and brawlers though.

      Hearns vs Hagler was mayhem!

        Well the guys you are dissing are what fans enjoy wmost, and something a network is more likely to get behind.

        And less emphasis use to be put on losses, so I don't know what you are talking about.

        **** uninformed, thread altogether.

          If other sports were like boxing we would just get Lakers vs Heat every damn game because thats what the fans want. It makes no sense, people will embrace what the networks tell them to embrace. If they made highlight reels for Crawford like they make for Angulo. People would eat it up

          What Klitschko did to the other boxer who's name I don't know was disgraceful. He has a size power advantage yet he decides to literally a clinch hundreds of times.

          I don't believe that, Bradley's fanbase is growing specially after the dominant clinc he put on last saturday night. Mayweather will always sell over a million, people will buy the fight if it's made that's the best fight that can be made in boxing.

              Maidana's recent rise has been due to him focusing more on boxing to set up his power shots. He works that strong jab and unleashes the right hand, only in a more crisper and less looping way than he used to.

              It is exactly what you are lamenting about, Maidana working on those things, that has gotten him to this shot against Broner.

              Maidana's jab is better than Matthysse's... always has been. He just abandoned it in a lot of fights, and made things tougher for him than they had to be.

              Anyway... Maidana is fighting Broner, aren't you a fan of his?

                  Almost everyone on here thinks Maidana is a bum and will lose every round to Maidana. He won't listen to your very wise comments.

                    I bet you don't. What does that have to do with my thread?

                    I see almost no skill in what Maidana does. He was going life and death with Khan and Soto Karrass for Christ sake. If you notice the moment he stepped up to Alexander he got a schooling to go along with his beating. He's in for another beating vs Broner

                    They use holding as a a technique to fight on the inside and take the other lesser skilled fighters advantages away. Like a Froch or a Kessler that are dumb founded when they have to fight on the inside. Klitschko clinches and leans on his opponents to get phony knock downs.

                      who cares what the people enjoy. Make the best fights with the best undefeated skilled fighters. No brawlers or sluggers getting all of the attention.




                      When skilled fighters choose to let their hands go it's different than a guy like Morales letting his hands go against another bum. It takes actual skill
                      People put money on the table, either viewers or seats.

                      Why don't you become a promoter, you will be so good at making these sweet science fights.
