Top 10 fights that could be made without cold war

[lakematter75]

It is truely a shame that the promoters cheat everyone out of all these great fights. It is bad for boxing and the fighters, and especially the fans (who pay their bills). I know they will eventually work things out, too much money lost. But, that is my hope.

The fights:

Mayweather v. Pac
Mayweather v. Bradley/Prov
Pac v. D. Garcia/matthysee/Thurman/Porter/Maidana/Khan/Broner
Bradley v. Maidana/Garcia/Thurman/ Porter/ Broner
Rigondeaux v. Leo Santa Cruz
Donaire v. Mares/Gonzalez
D. Garcia v. Prov.
Prov v. Khan/Maidana/Broner
Broner v. Gamboa/M. Garcia/Rios

There are a bunch more, let's hear them.

Hbo and showtime are practically in the promotion business. Floyd won't do business with arum, hbo tried to strong arm golden boy and they both made their move. It is more than just hbo and golden boy. Anyway, make a list or go to another thread. This is about the fights that could be made without the politics, not to discuss the politics.

I think he's trying to say that there's a Cold War between HBO and Golden Boy that is costing us such fights as Hopkins vs Kovalev/Stevenson and GGG vs Quillin.

I think you pretty much covered all the TR vs GBP fights that could be made.

Garcia vs Provodnikov for 3 Jr Welterweight Titles and the Ring Title.

Too be brutally honest I hold the fighters themselves completely to blame! It's the promoters who are supposed to be working for their fighters not the other way round! If they really want the fight, then they could go out of their way to make sure they get it! Donaire vs Mares, Pac vs Mayweather and Quillin vs GGG could easily have happened if they really wanted it!

I look at Holyfield vs Lewis the last time they're was a "cold war" those guys pushed through promotional barriers (with a little push from journalists) to make the fight!
