To bad Lomachenko already has 7 pro bouts. He was paid to fight in the wsb so officially Lomachenko isn't breaking any records.

This is a good point.

They didn't count them towards his record tho right? But for the Americans they did?

I can't wait for SALIDO-LOMACHENKO especially i'm curious how good will be LOMACHENKO in the second part of the fight because i see this fight go to the distance!

they will probably pay chavez jr 2 mill for this crap yet give golovking 400k per fight.

Chavez Jr has a bigger fanbase than Golovkin. They don't call him the Dinero de Vaca for nothing.

[Levity]

If being paid = professional, there are virtually no amateur boxers outside local competitions. Even a 5 year old whose father gave him a dollar to box in a tournament would be a pro.

I think there are other grounds for saying that Lomochenko has more pro experience than one bout, but the distinction between what is typically called amateur boxing and what is typically called professional boxing is based on more than payment.

I was thinking of something along those lines too. Are fights in the WSB counted as full out PROFESSIONAL fights that go on record? If so, I'd like to see proof of such a rule.

The Americans who fought in the WSB had those fights counted towards their pro record and some of them were losses too.

Wrong.

"HBO’s telecast of Gennady Golovkin vs. Curtis Stevens on Saturday night from New York attracted 1,410,000 viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s 29% above Golovkin’s bout with Matthew Macklin (1,097,000 viewers) on June 29 and ranks as HBO’s & cable’s third most watched boxing match this year (trailing only the HBO telecasts of: Cotto vs. Rodriguez 1,555,000 viewers and Chavez Jr. vs. Vera 1,416,000 viewers)"
