Well I guess that Confirms Wilder vs Fury December 1st at Staples

Too bad. I wanted to fly out to another Lomachenko fight, but not New York again.

Gilberto Ramirez-Jesse Hart II is what I'm hearing.

Yeah this one doesn't grab my attention. I flew out to the Rigo and Linares fights but was hoping this would be here at the forum. Maybe I'd have gone to Chicago for a change of scenery.

This puts us as fans in a crappy position yet again. Loma is the better fighter but Wilder/Fury-if it goes off as rumored-is the much better fight.

So fans are forced to choose rather than putting the fights on different weekends so we can enjoy both.

Always us fans that lose out.

I think Wilder-Fury would be December 1st. I doubt they'd go up against a free fight featuring the p4p best in a unification even though it's a heavyweight fight.

Even December 1st sucks for me if Arum is doing a Forum show because I'd have two shows in town and maybe the best option would be to watch them all at home.

No sport treats it's fanbase as bad as boxing does.

Wilder/Fury is the much better fight. It's for a HWT title. I would think boxing fans would choose that.

I get there is competition among networks/promoters but it would be nice if they competed to see who can put on the best card, not just make fights on the same day with fighters from different demographics to simply split the viewing audience.
