Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Linares Does Big Rating For ESPN

[TheCell8]

What these actually show is that Wilder is the biggest attraction on Showtime. Much bigger than Mikey Garcia, who is not as big as he, or his team, think he is.

That's crazy. It's literally the opposite. Boxing in the US is marketed specifically to Mexicans and black Americans, and white boxers are constantly used to build up those two. Look at GGG, they built him up as the great he was in his prime, but HBO never put up the money behind him to get him legacy fights in his prime, and all the black American boxers under Haymon ducked him during his prime, but once he started to slip that's when HBO suddenly got interested in having him fight Canelo, and then they used their biased commentary to try to elevate Canelo while the equally biased or corrupt judges gave him a draw.

Same thing with Kovalev. They built him up as the great fighter he was in his prime, but failed to make the Stevenson fight for him OR the Ward fight during his prime, then waited until he got old so they could try to use him to build up Ward into their next PPV star like Mayweather used to be, but it didn't work out quite how they planned. Max Kellerman even literally SAID that it was Ward's right or something like that to only fight Kovalev when the timing was 100% perfect for Ward. An objective commentator would say that fights should happen at the time that is fair to both fighters, when both are in their primes.

Then the corrupt judges robbed Kovalev, and the ref in the second fight, and the HBO commentators were responsible for the cover up trying to pretend like no crime was committed, figuratively speaking (but also maybe literally? It is a crime to rob someone isn't it?), and to pretend like Ward landed "body shots" not nut shots.

It goes on and on. Lomachenko robbed in favor of a Mexican boxer in his 2nd pro fight. Looks like they were planning to rob him last night as well.

So I dont know what he's talking about. American boxers (usually black) and Mexican boxers are constantly being protected by every aspect of the boxing establishment in America. It's the european boxers (usually white) who constantly get screwed over.

You haven't only just joined and you haven't lurked either so dont bother claiming it.. you're an alt or a banned user, both counts suggest to anyone else your opinion is equally as irrelevant.

You aren't the user i quoted so why are you so mad?

Do you also share his idiotic opinions? or is that your "alt"?

I dont agree with his sentiments in their entirety.. i dont buy into the Ward kovalev conspiracy theories and never have for a start.

What i also dont buy is people who dont have the bottle to post on their normal accs or have said something ****** enough to get banned, and then make an account to come straight back and start mouthing off again.

As i said, neither would suggest your opinion holds any more validity than his, regardless of whether i agree with them.

Im not mad in the slightest, i just think it brings the general level of intellectual discussion of this forum to a grinding halt when 6 post alts chime in with "bull**** post" but offer no counter-argument or anything to the topic.

Im off to bed now.. cya.

Dude you take this internet **** way too seriously. I have been lurking and finally decided to make an account, everyone here was new at one point.

Stop getting your panties in a bunch, and realize that the internet is not that serious for you to be getting so upset at a new user. I think it's best for you to log off.

I dont agree that the way boxing is promoted is based on race, I think if a fighter has a fanbase and can sell he will be the one who is pushed to the forefront. Kovalev was and is getting a lot of backing from Hbo just as Ggg is. They also back Jacobs and Canelo who are black and Mexican. Espn is backing Loma and Crawford as well as Ramirez, Valdez, Pacquiao ect. Good racial mix. At Pbc/Showtime it does seem to be dominated by black fighters, however Santa Cruz and other Hispanics are getting some good backing as well. They dont really have any white stars. I think for the most part if a fighter has good skills and can get ratings thats who they will back regardless of race. It just so happens boxing has a large percentage of black, hispanic, and eastern european fighters who are doing well and getting the backing of the networks. Everyone tries to divide based on race but if you step back and look at everything for what it is you will see that race doesnt play as much of a factor as people think, and that is true for most things not just boxing.

Boxing need not be on free tv. I hate it. Hbo and showtime are much better platform. Having to sit through a commercial in between rounds is atrocious.

I didn't think it was bad because they had two windows open.
