What does Kirkland know? who is he sucking off?

[deathofaclown]

Seriously, how is this guy not even an active fighter and landing big fights? It's not like he's even a draw or any good.

He's either sucking somebody or he is blackmailing somebody.

[Sadiqkingofko]

you have a point, he made 1.3M to Canelo's 3.5M. He probably going to make the same amount in the Cotto fight, and if he wins he'll probably make more in the rematch

He still landing big fights because he's exciting, beatable but just dangerous enough to sell as an opponent who could KO you.

[Larry the boss]

He is exciting with a **** chin.....he is a promoters prize possession

Yup this right here

[anonymous2.0]

He's in the same vein as Gabe Rosado - sucky but scrappy enough to be fan friendly. I guess low-risk, moderate-reward?

[Baltimore]

It is weird how he has done absolutely nothing since getting rocked by Canelo and now he's stepping back in with Cotto all this time later. Didn't even really hear much news about him in the time between at all.

He is exciting though, but I don't think that justifies making this PPV.

[Redd Foxx]

I don't see getting fed to Cotto after a brutal ko and 2 year layoff as being some kind of gift.

[TheCell8]

It's the same reason people want to fight Chavez Jr.

He's beatable and has a name.

Kirkland has been around for a while and has appeared on HBO several times. He's known as the all action type fighter with a bad chin.

[SilverMiles]

He honestly hasn't had that many big fights. Canelo now Cotto.
