Originally posted by Dr.Cool View PostSince PBC's inception, Spence has been the fighter most invested in. They hyped all his fights big time, and if you remember, Spence fought Bundu, immediately following the U.S. men's basketball Olympic gold medal game in 2016. There is no better time/station than that. It peaked at over 6 million views.
Also, I'm not sure about other t.v. providers, but I do know that Sling had a free preview of Showtime last weekend, conveniently on the weekend Spence fought. Which is rare. hbo has numerous free preview weekends, but showtime, not so much.
There is no doubt that PBC and Showtime clearly believe Spence can be a big star. The only other fighter to get close to as much love from PBC is Wilder. (Though Lubin and Pritchard Colon also received good attention til Lubin got ko'd and Colon's career was ended from punches to the back of the head.)

Originally posted by Boxing 956 View PostIve always thought Charlo was a good fighter. We just need to see him up against a good boxer before sending him in against top notch fighters.
He's WBC mandatory so don't expect him to risk losing his chance against either Canelo or g by fighting someone like Jacobs or Andrade. Not that it is right to not take any chances while waiting for his mandatory shot, but that is just the way it is.

Originally posted by Butch.McRae View PostThat's not what they said at all lol neither twin will be signing with anybody anytime soon.
Ryan Garcia is a young Latino guy who's very good at self promotion. There are other young guys with GBP who aren't nearly as popular. For example Diego De La Hoya
Here’s what Jermell Said on a conference call fam:
“So a lot of these guys use money to try to bring these fighters in, but that’s not the route I’m going with. I’m going with who cares about my career the best and who cares the most about my career. I do believe that we need promoters and we do need PR teams and we do need managers, as a boxer. And therefore, we’re looking into enhancing our careers and the statements behind it.”

I don't think we'll see any major moves by them until Jermell fights Hurd. They can't afford to miss that opportunity. If he locks up those belts, they can run up the price if that's what they want to do.
But I don't think they have a true plan yet.

Don't see it happening anytime soon, would love to see Charlo against some actual names at 160, Jacobs, Derevyanchenko, Andrade or Murata even. No denying his skills just want to see him against some solid competition at 160, he was awesome at 154.Last edited by robbyheartbaby; 06-19-2018, 10:26 PM.
