Comments Thread For: Charlo vs. Monroe, Charlo vs. Harrison - Finalized For 12/22

[Scipio2009]

u mean Jermall Charlo has his third tick over fight in a row after Canelo moves up in weight to fight for another belt in new weight class after facing the best middleweight in the world in back to back fights.

That’s what u meant to say. Sure Fielding isn’t GGG but he’s still done something Monroe hasn’t done before and that’s win a strap. Maybe Monroe will quit again like he did vs GGG.

The WBC will give canelo an exemption to fight Jacobs-devenecho winner in May so Charlo maybe can fight Vanes next unless he wakes up and signs with DAZN which is what he should do. Access to the best middleweights in the world and bigger purses.

lol, Rocky Fielding? The guy who got throttled in one round by Callum Smith and his holder of the WBA medal? Gtfoh.

Let's wait and see who wins on Saturday, too; sleep on the matchup if you want.

Liars only. These guys have no desire to be great.

That might be a sizable number of casual fans, but I think the majority of casuals are watching boxing more often than that. I think they are catching that random Broner fight. That Spence fight. The Bud vs Jose fight a couple weeks back. There aren't planning for these fights or anything like we might do or like the 1 or 2 fight a year casuals, but when they come across them on TV I feel like they check them out.

Idk how either of us could really prove our opinion doe, but I feel like the fact that good ratings on TV usually get in the 1.2M+ range & good PPV's these days are doing the same numbers in buys suggest casual fans are more spread out then you think among more events. If most casual fans were just into the biggest fights I'd suspect PPV numbers would be better. Although in your defense there is no accounting for how many people are in the home watching the big PPV fight either so 1.2M buys don't = 1.2M people watching. The number of people watching is likely 3x-5x+.



Well I'm not saying they can predict whats a competitive fight like we do or try to do cuz no one is 100% on calling that. I'm saying if they turn on the TV & a fight is competitive they know its competitive & they enjoy competitive back n forth athletic events, boxing included.



I don't disagree with you that fans care about those two things I'd just throw in a 3rd & that would be competitive fights. And personally I'd rank them 1)Name 2)competitiveness & 3)KO's based on what I hear when I talk to casual boxing fans.

And honestly thats all I talk to about boxing is casuals outside of this forum cuz no one outside of this forum (& other boxing forums) know sh^t about boxing. And I've heard cats say they don't watch the fights as much today as they used to cuz top guys don't fight like they used to a million damn times I feel like. If casuals were just into boxing for KO's they'd be watching every damn weekend cuz there are KO's in boxing all the time. Competitive matchups are rarer & I've seen entire cards on TV (let alone club shows/live events) where the whole red corner you could predict was going to win & then you saw all of them win in uncompetitive fights all night long. Thats not exciting for people just waiting for the KO. Its fulfilling when it happens sure for that second or two, but a competitive fight is more fulfilling for longer. Competitive fights breeds more casual fans who turn into hardcore fans then KO's do in my estimation.

I’m not even sure casuals know who the top guys are. Hence mayweather mcgregor selling 4 million ppvs while Canelo ggg sell 1.5 mill

Premier Boxing Champions has finalized a doubleheader for December 22nd at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The doubleheader, which is going to be televised on FOX, will feature WBC interim-middleweight champion Jermall Charlo taking on Willie Monroe Jr., while twin brother and WBC world champion Jermell Charlo will face Tony Harrison.

****** fights no one wants to watch. I can't stand this crap. Will Charlos ever fight anyone with a pulse?

Gotta have willing QUALITY Dance Partners too though, am I missing something are they ducking quality opponents to make these fights. Who exactly is calling out the Charlo Brothers to fight and is serious about it? The Jermall Charlo vs Hurd fight is in the back pocket that is going to happen but list some other opponents maybe I'm missing them Both Fighters are Top 5 within their Belt Organization...in fact their both #5 by the WBC at 160 and 154

Not defending these fights and I damn sure won't try to make them seem bigger than what they are HOWEVER it is not like they're turning down better fight opportunities to make these instead

So do we want fighters ACTIVE or we want them sitting around being inactive and only fighting when Quality Opponents want to fight them

I can get behind that argument to some extent. I would rather people be active than sitting on their a$$. The problem for me is that PBC isn't pushing these guys more. This is Jermall Charlo's first headliner. Charlo wants the big fights and the big money but you can't expect to be treated like a main event fighter and get main event fights if you keep showing up on the undercard.

He also got a debatable split decision over john ryder. I haven't seen the fight myself but reading other peoples takes on it they say he lost so he sucks

Look at what we both said though. NAME. Names sell first & foremost for casual fans & I know you aren't saying you think GGG & Canelo are more known than Floyd & McConor.

Ryder won that fight yea. Fielding got a gift.

How did Sulecki, a worthy opponent, go from fighting Jermall next to fighting Vanes for a chance to maybe face Jermell?
I can't pretend to know the why of it just like I cannot understand why Jermall didn't answer Jacob's challenge. Maybe there is a lot going on behind the scenes but there are 2 good fights right there and he took neither. Instead we have this crap fight

[WallabeeKing]

That Boxcino tournament really opened everything up for Monroe huh? Third title shot.
