HBO Willing to let Quillin onto their network

[The Problem Child]

Quillin is the definition of a coward. His face should appear INSTEAD of the word on the dictionary.

This guy makes me want to puke. He is no man.

[The Gambler1981]

I don't see anything very definitive in that statement, I see some speculation and HBO not wanting to look like the bad guy to their guy. That does not mean there was actual movement in the situation between GBP and HBO which would be required for GBP to even consider sacrificing Quillin like that.


Would Top Rank consider sacrificing Rios to Matthysse on Showtime just because it may be a good fight that could benefit their man if he happens to win, he might do that if it benefited him in a bigger way but in a one off Arum would not do it because where is the benefit to him in that scenario (which is his exact response to not paying JCC Jr. for the Golovkin fight in a one off deal).

Quillin is expected to make the biggest effort in making this fight happen since he was the one who called out GG. He claimed he wanted this fight. Let's see what happens.

Shit just got real for Quillin LOL




It doesn't seem like Quillin truly wants the fight but I'd love to be surprised.

Dude your speculating, and it's not an agenda to state as much when neither you nor I have all the facts. Like I said if Maidana camp was really unhappy with their deal, that would have said as much. None of us are privy to the contracts, so to sit here and besmirch his Manager, his promoter, and Floyd is really uncalled for.

Like I said, you guys entitled to believe what you want, but to have two multi billion dollar conglomerates bidding on the right to showcase your skills, sounds like a good situation to be in if your a fighter, and can create it.

these promoters negotiate a fix amount for the fighters upon signing of the fight contract. the amounts won't change even if the promoter would bid out the fight card to the networks. how the hell would that be for the best interest of the fighters? it's all for the best interest of the promoters.

Thats not what happen w/Stevenson and Kovelev (*sp?), therefore one fighter is in a better situation financially than the other.

that was the stevenson-fonfara they tried to bid out and not stevenson-kovalev. hbo is willing to pay for the stevenson-kovalev but not stevenson-fonfara so don't get that muddled up.

and besides in that matchup (stevenson-kovalev), stevenson is the A side so they're somewhat right do make demands. quillin on the other hand is a small b side to golovkin so what in hell does schaefer thinks he has to dictate terms?

Richard Schaefer's single-handedly killing boxing

That's the worst part. It's bad enough to see fighters make excuses, but when promoters help facilitate making the fight fail, it's beyond disgusting.

Hoya needs to step in and help narrow down where the blame should lie.

[Bee Keepz]

Peter Quillin is an inspiring champion. Golovkin's a good fighter but he just doesn't connect with people. Boxing fans have never enjoyed seeing a fighter knock his opponents out, and they never will.

Yes, knock outs are boring. We want to see move and pot shots galore for 12 rounds with sprinkles of holding here and there.

KOs are overrated.

[Bee Keepz]

Dunno what to think.

Can you explain that in layman's terms?

What does that mean?
