DSG fighting Nov 12 in Philly on Spike - per Rafael

[-DSG-]

No but the ufc card is. I guess this is just a tune up for Danny but still might as well try and get as many eyes as possible

The sooner swift gets this one out of the way the better lol.

it's not a question of being historically significant, it's a question of spike bringing legitimate world championship boxing to basic cable on a regular basis, something the sport hasn't had in many years.

not everybody can afford HBO and showtime. many can't even afford digital cable. access to being able to view elite (or premier lol) boxing champions is expanding. there's no denying that the marquee value of these spike cards is a big step up from the basic cable cards that were taking place before PBC.

danny garcia won the WBC world welterweight championship live on FOX and will be defending live on spike. MILLIONS are watching boxing now that weren't watching before.

how is that a bad thing?

our definitions of the word "legitimate" are vastly different it would seem......

Oh my goodness...

Ugh....Damn DSG and his team are pathetic.

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Kermit Cintron? That's a a name I haven't heard in a while.

Oh for the love of God. I'd prefer Salsa 2 over the frogman. If they announce Garcia vs Citron I'm gonna hunt you down.

[Scipio2009]

You are right. He might not be an euro bum but he has not done anything to qualify him for a title shot or that he can even win

^^^fair enough

[original zero]

our definitions of the word "legitimate" are vastly different it would seem......

PBC on SPIKE has already aired over a dozen world title fights:

INTERIM WBA WORLD WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBC WORLD SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBA WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBA WORLD SUPER WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBO WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBC WORLD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBA WORLD SUPER FLYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

IBF WORLD LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBA WORLD SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

IBF WORLD LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBC WORLD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

IBF WORLD LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

WBA WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP


you wanna name another basic cable series in recent memory that was frequently featuring WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO world title fights?

[Beercules]

Didn't Danny try to fight that Egg guy from the UK


I would love to see Spence knock his ass out

[Scipio2009]

that would require PBC actually having some sort of long-term strategy and planning for the future, which seems to be of minor importance to them.......

I disagree, but that'd lead to a long conversation that couldn't actually be proven till likely around 2018.

[Scipio2009]

Why not December 3rd? Don't think much is happenining that night

With the purse bid coming, December 3rd seems to line up rather nicely for Golovkin-Jacobs on Showtime/SHOPPV (Barclays Center is available, no other fight card seems positioned to compete for the date, etc)

I need 50 tune ups doe
