Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz vs. Abner Mares is Official, PBC on ESPN

boxing scene gives the network of the year award right?
i think it's official that PBC (not a network but a know entity) wins that award right now..leo picked a more evenly matched fight for himself instead rigo and that's fine bc i know rigo kills him...but it would have been more respectable to say "no i cant fight rigo i'll take my loss by words..he's a great 2 time gold medalist and nearly 10 time cuban world champion for a reason..i love him and is great for the sport"...why cant fighter just be respectful in their ducks and go on to fight competition more suitable for them?

they'll say he's not fighting rigo..only thing they can say, but no one is fighting rigo so w/e...good match up rigo should get 10% of each guys purse lol

Let's not stroke Haymon's shaft just yet. It's just one fight. He has yet to deliver others that we want. This is a step in the right direction though.

No one is stroking *****, so far boxing is getting good competitive fights and it's not even a year yet. But we still have people whining just because it's a face they don't like that is behind PBC.... Who cares what his face is like if boxing fans are winning.

Mares is not in his prime. I'm not ****ting on the fight but Mares is clearly past his best. He has looked bad since Gonzalez wrecked him.
