Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza on McGregor vs. Malignaggi Being Next

[Sledgeweather17]

Is this Espinoza guy just going to resume making circus fights or what? His fighters are about to jump ship en masse because of lack of fights and he's talking about a Malignaggi/McGregor.

How about making Andrade vs Lara fight?

Espinoza has made three offers to Andrade already and he rejected them all.

He was even offered a three fight deal in which he would have to fight Lara in one of those fights and he pulled out of the deal. The first deal they offered him he would have had to fight Jermell and he pulled out of that one too.

Don't blame Espinoza for that coward's actions. Even now Andrade was supposed to be Jermell's mandatory instead of Lubin. The only reason Lubin became the mandatory is because Andrade pulled out and said he was going the WBA route.

But now he wants to move up just as the WBA is about to announce mandatory negotiations between him and Lara next month. Now he talking bout how Lara is too old and he done waiting and gon move up to fight Lemule.

That guy's a piece of shieeet coward who is ruining his life. Don't let me hear you blaming any sanctioning bodies or networks again for that guy not getting fights. The WBC gave him a mandatory position for Jermell, the WBA is about to order mandatory negotiations for the Lara fight, and Espinoza/Showtime offered him two contracts already to fight these guys.

So Gtfoh with that shieeet!!!

With all the long layoffs going on, I don't think he's the right guy for the job.
He's been making meaningful fights once in a while, but that's about it.
The number of dormant fighters without any schedule yet are too many.
They should let them go and become free agents.

I'm pretty sure it goes down sometime next year. It's another guaranteed money grab for all sides.

Doubt it does. This was a money fight because you joined the two highest grossing stars in the history of both UFC and boxing. No one knows paulie and fighting him wouldn't generate a quater of the buzz this fight is getting. Deft wont generate enough for the UFC to let Connor box again.

[Teetotaler]

Who the **** is gonna wanna buy that ppv lmao more than half the people didnt know who the **** paulie was till mcgregor dropped him

[PunchyPotorff]

It would be a great circus act, maybe even moreso than the one coming this weekend. Just like in the music biz, usually you gotta be a bit of a sellout to pull in the huge cashish, and I'm sure neither fighter would mind a big stack of moolah to pad their bank accounts... especially Paulie since he's never seen insane money like McGregor gets Saturday. So yeah, bring on the circus again. To make it official, they should have elephants pooping in the ring, monkeys flying around making a general nuisance of themselves, offer peanuts for sale at the food booths, put a top hat on George Foreman and get him to be Head Carnival Barker, and put Tyson and Douglas in clown costumes, ambling around the arena.

LOL!!

And for the record, Paulie gets thrashed and dropped worse than the Porter fight. LOL!!

Paulie is a shot featherfist. Conor might actually stand a chance. Floyd is probably gonna carry McGregor for 12 rounds. That will give him confidence. All the KO talk is just talk to sell the mismatch.

Andrade always chokes when it comes to risking that 0. Its laughable because you know when they put him in position for a big fight he finds some way to get out of it lol. He has no problem losing a belt or title shot and then turning around and calling out the guy he jumped through loops to avoid.

[SUBZER0ED]

This fight's not going to happen. If it does, it certainly won't be PPV. Paulie's old, shot & has been embarrassed his last 2 times out. Oh, and he punches like a school girl who just got her first period.

It all sound characteristic of Andrade, I have to admit, but everything here is unsubstantiated. Hope to see all these things cleared up in September, which is just a week away. We'll continue when such time comes.

But what about Lara? Seems you're trying to justify Gausha for his next fight. Are you Decubas?

What do you mean unsubstantiated? There were articles released about this shieeet all over the boxing media when it happened.

Which part exactly do you think is unsubstantiated?
