ANNOUNCEMENT TO PROS: A Loss does NOT ruin your career

[jas]

according to posters here when a fighter loses,they were exposed,a hypejob or they are shot

You were the leader of that mantra though. "he has losses, he doesn't deserve a fight"

...so stop cherrypicking your way to 50-0

No, but it does significantly affect your drawing power, and therefore affects your income. Look at Pac's drawing power following his two recent loses. His PPVs have dropped dramatically. And where we as fans just want to see the fights we want, we also have to realize that to these boxers this is an occupation. And one that can leave you damaged for the rest of your life after your career is over. Therefore they have to make the best business decisions as well. Why do you think we haven't seen Mayweather vs Pac yet? Trust me neither of afraid of the fight, but as soon as that fight happens the drawing power of the losing fighter drops. So why not continue to earn money side by side until they have to fight.

pacquaio fought brandon rios, a guy coming off a loss who was only on hbo because they wanted to make anthony peterson look good.

lomachenko is still a big draw.

progessively tougher fights. fighting bums over and over and you'll develop bad habits, examples are endless - audley harrison.

No i said if you lose 2 fights in a row,hell no you do not deserve a mega title fight..damn right i said that

Salido is not a great fighter,and won a vacant title after getting his ass kicked by Mikey,Arum thought he was the weakest link and tried to make a easy road for Lomo to win a title,it is a circus act and ******ed he is 1-1 and i am far from impressed

name 5 better body attackers in the game than salido

also, top rank didnt want loma to go for the title. it was loma that wanted it.

siri is not a pushover for anybody, he was coming on strong vs mikey.

do you think broner has no chance to be fighter of the decade now that he has a loss?

I never said a loss ruins a fighters career,but i also said if you are undefeated and fighting world class comp that is greatness...see the issue here is ya'll try to twist and flip ****, a loss is a b ad thing yes it is,but if you come back from that and win on a world class level then that is great..but who the hell wants to lose?

floyd vs maidana is for the wbc mega belt isn't it?

Well the name of the game is still winning, so loses do matter how much depends on the loss. It is a set back and if you look at the arc of most guys careers once they start to catch loses, it tends to become a trend.


Still loses only ruin careers if the guy lets it ruin their career, boxing is a game of confidence and belief more than anything else, all the physical tools in the world will be wasted without those things. Once that confidence and belief are broken getting them back is not easy~ nothing the media or a fan says can do anything about that
