    HBO / Haymon deserve mad respect for Alvarez vs Chavez Jr.

    As I said about Golovkin vs Jacobs, it was will-power from Jacobs to go strong in that bout! I called it with several others, and many boxing fans were shocked. It gave them hope outside the context of boxing, but the will-power to keep going considering the cancer.

    Then we got Chavez Jr., again, the will-power to PUSH STRONGER. That's the essence of most combat films, to go the limit and not give up. Chavez Jr. trained in higher altitudes than Big Bear in the tribal shrines of Mexico like his father and other Mexican greats. He stayed focus. I mean this story is great for boxing!

    And lastly, Oscar and industry at least trying to make a point with the Wall. Of course it's all debauchery in the end because its in Vegas, but ironically that's what Trump loves, and I'm sure when Trump saw the ad he knows Oscar is right....but that's general politics, and Trump has to be the puppet in ********** hands

    I think GBP is the winner of the year imo.

        Honestly I don't give HBO much credit. What have the really done to promote this fight? Give golden boy and haymon the credit for making the fight. But after that if the fight is successful it will be because of golden boy not HBO. This is the biggest fight of the year and they created just 1 24/7 show and a 15min face off. Not long ago HBO would give big fights up to 4 episodes of 24/7 that aired every week the final month before the fight. They also had a dead few months leading up with few other HBO fights. In the past more fights so more opportunities to keep telling fans I know you watching this fight but remember to order ppv next month.

          Golden boy created all their own content to promote the fight. Made their own 24/7 type shows that they aired on their own platforms including espn narrated by Michael buffer. They cut a deal with ESPN that allowed them to air fights the weeks and months leading up to the fight where every 10mins they remind you to order the ppv. They have a deal with Tecate and strategic line of canelo national commercials with Stallone that aired the months leading up to the fight on networks that don't even air sports. ESPN aired the weighin NOT HBO which was produced by Oscar own R!ngTV crew. Same with he non ppv undercard which streams live on R!ngTV and ESPN. Interviews, promos, fights to promote the PPV all created by golden boy not HBO.

          The fight will be a success despite HBO lack of support not because it.

                    Do you know what this thread is about?

                    MTC is an expert at bringing up like 3+ things with barely a connection point at best and then saying ta da at some invisible and unseen Keyser Soze moment only he can see like it's some epic discovery. It's f#cking fascinating to me and high level sh-t in a sea of sh-tty trolls.
