Keith Thurman Fans... please help.

Why is it such a big deal? He said fight will happen in 2019. Just give it some time and be patient.

Boxing is the most bs sport in how its structured. Only in boxing could someone say "just wait a year or two" in response to a question about the best athletes competing against each other.

No wonder it seems like no young fans watch boxing. They are old by the time the fight they wanna see happens.

BS... imo. These guys aren't PPV fighters yet ..they need to build momentum fast with casuals. Attention spans are short nowadays.

$#@&... dancing around the fight.

Build what?.. wait does nothing.

Ok, thank you for your opinion. Is your opinion based on any experience building fights? The world's leading experts disagree with you. Is it possible they understand the business they make their living from better than you do?

Thurman lost fans after the Garcia fight.. and he'll lose more delaying the fight with excuses.

Just the way it is. You need to understand the marketplace now.

He'll say he's building the fight.. but let's say the fight doesn't happen spring 2019... you going to stand for that crap?

Gotta let it marinate... Easy guys... Not until it's time (When Spence can no longer knock guys out).

I was more of a Thurman fan before he took Spence off the table, no matter what, for 2018. And I can't love a guy who only fights every year and a half. He doesn't fight often enough.

Cool guy and a fairly exciting fighter, though.

Do I want to see him rematch Porter? No. What about Swift? Hell no. Absolute waste of time.

with all due respect, how do you build momentum fast with casuals? the guy has a point.. casual fans dont even know who spence is. like i said in another post, only around 600k people tuned in to see errols fight vs lamont. Thurman vs Spence deserves to be a HUGEEEE event!! They are both GREAT undefeated world champions in what most people say is the most exciting division. The deserve to make as much money as they possibly can so if that means waiting a year than so be it.. they are both young and are both in their prime. Lets just enjoy the build up to it.

isnt that exactly what thurman is doing right now? making all the traffic go through him? ughh i cant believe this lol errol is my fav fighter since tyson and here i am sticking up for thurman who i absolutely hate lol

[suffolkbull3]

What ever happened to “i got an 0 and im not afraid to let it go” ?? hahaha

[suffolkbull3]

i agree with you on there being only 1 champion per wt class, but i respectfully disagree about not fighting dwellers when your at the top.. if these champions fight war after war after war, they will without question have a shorter career. i have no problem with a champion fighting a top 10 guy every now and then especially if there was only 1 champ per division. I think their prime would last a lot longer. Just my opinion though.

Thanks, man. Actually I think I may have picked up on some of that info in your previous posts - I seem to remember it being mentioned that you were in fact a troika - but it's always good to have informed opinion on board, even if I'll not pretend I always agree with your sentiment or conclusions. But, ummm... damn, man, what's the etiquette for addressing one member of a triumvirate? And how do we know which one of you we're talking to...

life would be no fun if everyone agreed. always happy to civilly discuss any disagreements you have in the future. the media and broadcasters do a terrible job of explaining to fans how the sport really works, why fights get made, etc. the entire set up of boxing is ridiculous, so it's understandable why fans are often confused or aggravated by which fights get made when.

tried to be honest about this account being a team effort, but so many people would get irrationally upset when we typed "we" that at this point it's probably easier to just pretend we are one person from now on.

being a thurman fan would u watch a rematch vs porter or garcia? whats your take on that if he does rematch them?

Thurman fan here but also a Spence fan. I want this fight to happen and Thurman does seem to be ducking.

I can't quite call him a ducker yet though. Spence hadn't earned this fight until after he beat Brook and Thurman has fought since. Fight needs to happen in 2019 at some point.

I wouod love to see Thurman vs Porter again. That was a really close fight that could of went either way and Porter deserves the rematch.

I don't want to see Garcia Thurman again. That fight ******. Danny can say Thurman ran at the end but that's because he handled him. Garcia isn't on his level.

thanks for sharing your feelings on thurman.. after much thought, i dont blame keith for not fighting errol in 2018.. errol just still isnt a huge name yet although its getting there..

what i dont want is to see is keith lose to someone leading up to the fight and if he fights porter again its not impossible for porter to win. he can very well win the rematch which would suck because i wanna see spence thurman a lot more than i want to see spence porter.

i know errol will wind up fighting all the big names at 147 eventually especially when he unifies.
