    Errol spence has fought 8 rounds in a year and a half

    Why don't US boxers fight?
    lad is at the peak of his career (28 years old) and he has fought one round against some chump in 8 months

    How is it so hard to get these boys in a ring?

      These guys mainly fight on one network (Showtime). Showtime has a budget and only so many dates. The fact that he may get a third fight in this year is miraculous. He only fought once last year. Jermall Charlo has only fought once each of the last two years. Gary Russell Jr. has only fought once each of the last four years.


      I think the combination of looking for a big check and a limited amount of dates hurts these guys. Hopefully PBC's deals with Fox, Showtime, plus PPV gets everyone at least 2 fights per year.

        Disapointing for sure. Heard he wanted a 4 fight yr too. Smh. Hopefully the PBC 120 mil budget gets used wayyyy better than that 500 mil they reportedly wasted. Build these fighters and keep them active. Geesh.

          why do they need to? its the easiest job in the world, haymon pays them millions to fight scrubs. why do they need to fight too often and take any risks? maybe once every few years they will fight someone worth fighting to get people off their backs but thats one hard nights work every few years. im not blaming the fighters, in some ways the guys who take tough fights and risk losing their 0 are the crazy ones. cause they can cherrypick their way to 2 easy nights work max, a couple of camps and spend the rest of the year on holiday

              also funny your thread says "a year and a half" because you know if you extended that to 2 years it would have to include the Kell Brook fight that went 11 rounds lol
