      Boxing has been doing great. What I will say, is that if there was a ppv fight in recent history that is really worth paying for, It'd be Cotto-Canelo.

      Can't wait for the fights mentioned!!! I'd also like to see Brook and Thurman in big statement making fights.

        Agreed,it's good to have great fights to look forward to,and not just go week by week on some sub par cards.

          It's definitely going to be a great finish too the year.

          All great fights.

          Looking forward to Klit vs Fury, Canelo vs Cotto and GGG vs Lemiuex the most.

            I'll be fcking stoked if we get even half of these. Don't forget to add Mayweather/Berto, what a matchup.

            But on a more serious note.. is Loma/Rigo off?

              It's been a great year for boxing. So many fights everywhere I turn.

              Even not-so-regarded fights like Lee-Quillin, Khan-Algieri, have been entertaining.

              Frampton in the US.

              Cotto-Canelo to come.

              Dirrell-DeGale.

              Matthysse-Provo

              Pacquiao-Mayweather

              Malignaggi-Garcia is a really intriguing fight

              Thurman-Guerrero

              Porter-Broner

              I could go on. And a lot of fighters will fight three times this year. Just a great year so far.

                  HBO won't be showing any fights on their primary channel (HBO Latino has an August card), so PBC will really have to carry the next 3 months.

                    if we get kovalev-beterbiev, lomachenko-rigondeaux and thurman-porter/khan/brook as well as the great fights that are already signed or almost signed like golovkin-lemieux, cotto-alvarez and klitschko-fury, it will possibly be the best year of boxing since i started following the sport ten years ago

                    on the british domestic scene, i'm really looking forward to smith-fielding, campbell-coyle and joshua-whyte. selby and flanagan will probably defend their newly won titles against fellow brits too. it'd be great if frampton and quigg could finally work things out too
