Is there anything wrong with letting a fight marinate?

[Derranged]

Not necessarily, no.

Why would you want this as a fan?
A lot of things can happen in the interim.
Injuries, family issues, you name it.

No, Mayweather avoided Manny like the plague until he was sure he could beat a post prime version of the once great fighter. he was so scared, he said Manny might hurt him and he'd have to walk with a walking stick lol

The only thing left to marinate were his balls.

Well its out there on youtube Freddie saying 1st time in 2010 was done until Pac did not want testing(scarred of needies)and then wanted cut off date.I mean his own trainer(who hates Mayweather)said it and we all know its true.More people then just freedie have said same things but this is from inside his camp.

100% agree! The key word there is fan! A fan of BOXING not just a fan of Thruman or Spence or Wilder or Joshua

Depends. If you are worrying whether boxers that are worth tens of millions of dollars need more money then yes, it's good.

If you want to see the best boxers fight the best boxers, especially while they are both in their prime, then no, it isn't good at all for the boxing fan.

Bingo.......

off topic but, can anyone tell me what thurman made for both the garcia fight and the porter fight? just wondering how much money he thinks he will make by letting the spence fight marinate.

[rickJen]

Look at what happened to Brook.
Spence vs Kell should have happened right after their last respective fights, Algieri, Bizier.
Instead, Brook fought Glovkin, which resulted in an orbital bone injury, which was exactly the reason why his fight with Spence got stopped.

It's bad if you marinate it beyond its expiration date. Floyd marinated the fight for five years until his opponent lost a step. Thurman and Soemce need to fight in 2019 while they are each prime and undefeated champions.

[Larry the boss]

Floyd and Manny were atg's who had done more then spence or thurman could imagine...Spence-Thurman is just a regular fight

In most cases, marinating fights is more beneficial from a business perspective than it is to the quality of the fight.
