Angel Garcia on Thurman-Porter: Why fight each other when they could fight a Salka?

[-PBP-]

Fortunately, we'll have the Olympics this year...

That's what I'm most looking forward to. Actually watch some hungry young fighters go after each other and try to be the best. 1 champion per division.

It's because there is an entire generation of boxing fans and upcoming fighters who heard Floyd Mayweather use this kind of talk as a selling point and will buy into it.

Problem is too many fans and fighters don't understand how Floyd Mayweather got to the top of the sport or how he stayed there.

They know who Money May is, but they don't know who PBF is

Yup that's what is hilarious. Haymon fans spend all this time and energy denying what's going on and even the fighters and their fathers have no shame admitting it. Disgusting

Funny part is, hmm... I mean the sad part is Haymon fanboys think they look good expressing concern over these fighters' well-being in general. In reality, they're only concern when it comes to Haymon and his fighters'. What about our Salka brothers who get significantly less money, get mauled, beaten to pulp, put on stretchers and sent to the nearest emergency? All for making Haymon fighters look good.

Another prime example of when business comes first and the fights we want to see are secondary. They have a point in saying build a fighter against lower tier opposition then come together for a big fight but damn as a fan it ****s it up.

Only thing il say is as much as i dont like it, i have to respect that boxing is dangerous and if someone gets injured then nobody will pay for their health except themselves.

That is the type of poison that has infected our Sport.

Fighters and trainers openly advertising their intent to avoid tough competition is a disturbing development. I don't know what to attribute it to.

Greed

It will Imprison us all.

[Disturbed]

Figures...

Attitudes to this are pretty important in the overall scheme of things. Traditionally, ducking and dodging tough opponents even when it's happened has been condemned. In other words people acknowledged it happened but didn't approve of it.

Now things are different. There's an element within boxing who want to say that not only does ducking and dodging happen, it should happen. It's perfectly fine.

What side of that line the majority falls on determines where boxing is headed.

This is why I find it so hard to like Danny. I know it's not his fault Angel is saying this ****, but still...

I don't understand how somebody in boxing can say this **** so openly, where's your pride, your ego? **** this guy man.
