last i looked kirkland didn't have his trainer ann wolfe for that ishida fights? Or for canelo. Your not one of those casual fans that think trainers don't mean sht are u???

I agree vargas is much, much better than smith.

oh kirkland is a baby now? He needs his mommy in the ring???? Excuses excuses excuses...... His mommy protects his chin now? Hahahahaha! His glass chin has nothing to with his mommy in the corner you casual bum

Yeah too bad Canelo isn't a Top Rank fighter. I'd love to see him beat up Tim Bradley and Terrence Crawford 6-7 times exclusively during the rest of his prime.

So Richard Schafer isn't blocking these two anymore and there is still no work between them. That's what I thought.

Any answer to my previous question? What fight should GBP and TR have made when Schaefer handed all the GBP fighters to Haymon?

GBP made a paltry sum giving away Matthysse, one of their prized fighters, to Postol and Provo, co-promoted by TR and who nobody wanted to fight at the time.

2016 the worst ppv rip off year.... Canela vs khan and canela vs smith both rip offs!!!

Manny vs bradley3 and manny vs vargas both ppv ripoffs as well!!!

Pbc is the only promoter who gave us great fights for free and $6 on showtime.........

Yep.. The same people complaining about pbc are the same ones who said Canelo Kirkland was a good fight.

The last PPV I helped buy was Manny VS Floyd wish was utter crap.Previous to that i had purchased every PPV for the last 10 years.
I have not bought one since. Now i just go and find a free live feed online.

It was only crap because Manny lost lol. Boxing don't need fans like you anyway

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Excuse me.... Kirkland was and still a dangerous fighter for anyone. I agree with Angulo but Rios is as skilled but with less drive. But point is Vargas PAC is there with Canelo Smith but no better.

Lmao Kirkland hadn't fought in 2 years..CANELO is ruining boxing.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

All the fans and publicity Manny and Floyd brought to boxing is being destroyed thanks to coke head Oscar. Allowing doped up fighters to fight after failing drug test. Salido Vargas would have been boycotted had it been on PBC and we would have got an 3 page article from Hauser. Barely any mention of it on boxing scene.

He's trying to ruin pbc so he can match canelo up with more welterweights. Pbc would have had way more fights if it wasn't for the snitches taking them to court. If Oscar was in charge Porter Thurman would have definitely been on ppv.

yep.. The same people complaining about pbc are the same ones who said canelo kirkland was a good fight.

haha exactly! I remember lampley the woman beater said canelo vs kirkland saved 2015 hahahahahahaah

Crawford Molina?

GGG and K2 need to accept the $10 mil with upside deal on the table to make the fight happen. This ain't no Floyd/Manny type of fight that will generate the same amount of money. If and that's a big if, this fight does 1 mil buys at $70, that $70 mil in PPV money. After HBO and the tv companies take their cut, it leaves 32 mil for GB to split as the promoter. If the live gate is around $15 mil, then we are talking about a $47 mil or around $50 with other sponsors. GB is giving $10 mil to GGG which leaves them around $40 mil to pay Canelo, the other fighters on the card and to make up for expenses for promoting the fight. So I don't get how everyone thinks that's a bad deal if the fight does close to $100 mil total revenue. With the upside GGG could take in another $3-5 mil. So I have no idea where people get that Canelo will make $90 mil to GGG's $10 mil
