    No. I'm not excited. This is a job. A plumber doesn't get excited about cleaning toilets.

    Your position is that you aren't interested in Showtime's fights because it's not a handful of fighters fighting repeatedly. What kind of sense does that make?

    And if that is your standard, what network exactly is giving you what you desire right now? To see very few fighters, but have them fighting over and over?

    What boxing programming are you currently enjoying based on this criteria?

        I make my living in the fight game. It's very rare that I get excited for a fight. Just doing my job.

          People getting so personal about PBC. ****'s hilarious.

          I can't tell you how good/bad PBC is for a fighter, but the company doesn't seem to be gaining new fighters like they did initially.

          All the top fighters have a promoter except for Mikey Garcia. Errol is the only guy who doesn't, but he isn't necessarily a top guy yet since he hasn't beaten anyone. Keith Thurman is a good fighter, but I don't rate him P4P. He's beaten nobody and has looked just a hair better than his C level opposition. Crawford and Spence make Thurman cry. Floyd and Manny (still) beat Thurman. Horn beats Thurman. Kell Brook probably beats Thurman. The guy is unbelievably ordinary.

          PBC did do a good job of putting an initiative on bringing boxing back to cable TV. Look at Top Rank now with ESPN cards. I am all for cable TV hosting boxing events...not just for saving money, but also because it grows the sport that I have a deep appreciation for.

          The bigger is in boxing, however, is the confusion. How can one weight class have 4+ champions? Having more than one champion defeats the whole name "champion"...which implies being the BEST. Yet there are 4+ people who are the BEST??? What?

          Fix the multidivision "champ" thing and you basically fix boxing. Cable TV and all that isn't as big as the ranking systems

            Damn. Well if it's rare for you to get excited for a fight, why are you in it? Why not work at something that excites you?

                Just wondering what fights that have been announced from any network / promoter are you looking forward too?

                    I understand that, but you post on here regularly and you don't get excited about fights? Just kind of odd to me. That's all.

                      He has already been exposed as a dishwasher in the WBC convention after he got turned down by the WBO when he applied.
