    There used to be threads like this one below on this site, but they stopped:


    Official: PBC on Spike- Stevenson vs Williams Jr RBR Thread

    I don't find a similar thread for Jacobs vs Mora!
    Why?

      therealpugilist doesn't understand that the business that he is talking about is the show business, the entertainment business. i swear this guys think money grows in the trees.

      for example how can you justify 1.5 million dollars purse for a guy that fights in a half empty arena and that does shitty numbers on tv? money grows on trees

        He's nothing more than a groupie. He will defend boxers (only the ones he likes, mind) even if it means shitting on the sport he is supposed to love.

            Did you actually LOOK?

            There's a sticky one at the top of this forum page that's been there for 3 days.

                No, you don't and no, that's not how the world works. All you have to be is profitable.

                Exhibit A: Floyd Mayweather (at least according to folks on this site)
                Exhibit B: Zou Shiming
                Exhibit C: Tyler Perry

                  He's not. He's saying he will be at the fight.
