Is there anything wrong with letting a fight marinate?

    Floyd ducked a prime Pacquiao.

    That is what is wrong, you don't get to see the best fight.

    Keith is making a comeback from injury, and then he will have one more fight, then fight Spence.

    By that time Thurman and Spence will be better fighters than they are now, so we will see the best fight.

    Don't get this mixed up with the 6 years of shameful ducking waiting for the guy to lose and get knocked out before you fight him.

          I'm sure that's what they're going to do so there's not much to worry about.

          The fights that marinate usually make more money while usually not producing the best of both fighters. Manny and Floyd would have been much much better in 2010 but probably wouldn't have made the same money and well, money is the point after all. GGG-Canelo marinated for a year but I think it would have been a better fight a year before when GGG was wasting time with Brook and Canelo was wasting time with Smith. Just like now, in May, Thurman will waste time with not even a top contender and Porter will waste time with that mando in June. I mean, I see the point, but as a fan, nah. I really can't say that I do or should enjoy waiting for marination. Now, a marinated steak? I'm all in favor of that.

            Floyd always found a way go wriggle out of fighting Pacquiao.

            Floyd ducked on multiple occasions using various spurious excuses.

              Not Really but fans will never be Patient ever and will B1tch until the fight happens BUT I think that is what Promoters want, they want that backlash so that it will get Casuals interested as well

              The Mayweather Fans vs Pacquiao Fans is what made that fight as big as it was, particularly on THIS FORUM!

                  Why would any fan would want anything to do with this ****** marinating thing?
                  Who cares how big it will be months or years down the line?
                  Important thing is they're in their prime and in their best elements.
                  If you're not in anyway connected to the business side of it, why would you care how much money they'll make?

                      as a buisness pov? no but as a sport? yes.

                      Marinating fights is a reason we never got to see Juanma vs Gamboa when they both were 2 of the baddest motherfu.kers and marinating that ruined it and a we never got it.
