    Surface Argument: “glamour divisions”
    Real Argument: we don't have s**t in 15 weightclasses so lets pretend they don't matter.

    Al Haymon even teaching his disciples how to have transparent as f**k superfluous arguments.
    What happened to taking over? No one meant us airwaves, those are filled with ldbc ball sports already. Thats not impressive.
    Best fighters? Money ≠ Quality but you dont have enough of the latter to argue it in your favor.

      Heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, and lightweight are the real OGs.

        Nobody cares about a WBO & IBF belt. Ruiz beat Joshua. That's what people will remember.

          Who really gives a **** about traditional glamour divisions? Before AJ no one made money at heavyweight for the last 15 years and before Canelo no one made money at middleweight for the last 10 years. IF Canelo does leave the middleweight division it doesn't mean Charlo will suddenly become a star because he's the middleweight champion.

          Everyday you seem to be getting more and more desperate to convince the world that Al Haymon's grip on the boxing world is getting tighter but the unfortunate reality for you is not much has changed in the last few years.

            Agreed, the rest are midgets.

            Fury is taking Wilder's belt in feb anyway so Haymon's "reign" won't last long.

              GGG, Andrade, Dervenchenko, and Jacobs still school Charlo

              So what does it matter if Canelo goes SMW?

                  Things are actually getting objectively worse. People dont understand money.

                  Fox has been pumping money into advertisement for this PBC program and, so far, the return is poor. No PPV has cracked 500k and that's all lost money on what couldve been advertising for pay or another program with better results (i.e., UFC).

                  At a certain point the leash will tighten and like HBO (and about to be Showtime) Fox will pull the plug.

                  For whatever reasons PBC fans cant face the reality. There are literally zero (0, zip, nada) boxing "stars" today outside of Canelo and he cant sell on his own. Manny needed Floyd to crack 1m buys (and it could be argued Floyd needed Manny), but Floyd did a great job at promoting his brand. Wilder does not, Spence does not, and Manny does not.

                  Canelo had a nemesis in GGG so that fight sold, but Kovalev and Jacobs which were both great opponents didnt sell as much.

                    What people don't realize is the reason GGG was able to gain traction in the US is because he was a KO artist in a glamour division.

                      This fool would be perfectly content to see the sport decimated, as long as haymon “controlled” the rubble that was left lol.
