    Yes, Laila Ali is a lot older than Shields but she's only a few years older than Braekhus. It's not the age gap so much as the gap since her last fight that's the problem here, and why the fight shouldn't get made.

          LOL, I think he meant to say one of the worst selling PPV's of all time. Who would want to pay for that crap? Bad enough if they showed it on SHOBOX for free. I am desperate for boxing, but not that desperate!

            This fight is a shot in the dark but would be insane if Laila Ali came back and knockout Clarissa Shields, Another major Feather in the hat for the Ali Legacy

                This does a lot to explain why HBO is not in boxing anymore and why Taffet is their FORMER senior vice president of sports operations and PPV.

                  Taffet wasn’t there when HBO went down for the count
                  I still believe he’s delusional and very unrealistic
                  He wants Ali to have six months of training and expect her to be ready for a major professional fight
                  Looks to me that Clarissa Shyte is really getting desperate to make major money , if it actually would generate big money

                    True, he left a year or so before, but the decline began before he officially left. Not really blaming him though. I'm no insider and I assume many forces were at play. Boxing just didn't fit into HBO's bigger picture and, ostensibly, wasn't the major driver of subscriptions that us boxing fans liked to believe.
