Shawn Porter: Boxing NEEDS those WWE gimmicks, PBC won't do it

[blowblow]

lol if they do that.. they will become the likes off a ****y boxers who tries to enter the ring and then jump on the ropes. i remember one ****y who tries to jump and then fell over and cause a temporary injury on his back. the result is a k.o and a loss after his ******ity.

"Serious boxing" like this from your 135 champion, you mean?





Eubank himself said it was a character and not really him. He knew what he had to do to sell fans on him, which was come off legit.

And anyone that knows Hamed knows his antics were to sell tickets. Or do you believe he rides around on a flying carpet in real life?

Show me footage, where Eubank Senior has stated 'That he was playing a character?' Eubank Senior is still from what I can see the same persona that he has always been 'I have seen plenty of his interviews'.

There is a difference between acting in certain ways to sell a fight and then 'becoming a entirely different character' most boxers do not play a character, they are themselves 'Because boxing is a not a choreograph sport, it is not WWE Wrestling'.

Prince Naseem Hamed entering into a ring on a flying carpet, is called showmanship 'It has nothing to do with playing a character' It is just a skill, he was still being himself.

Actors on the movie screen or on the stage play characters, boxers are mostly being themselves 'But they may implement specific strategies to ether sell a fight' that does not mean they are playing a character.

When's the last time you saw English walk up into a store like this?




You haven't. Because that's not HIM. HE likes to smile, he likes to laugh, he likes to have a good time.

Him trying KFC? THAT is the real Eubank.

floyd was a good gimmick

No! Absolutely NOT!

What fighters can do, especially PBC guys since they're not signed to a promoter...create your own promotion and bring in a Charismatic Guy to come and help you with Promotions! As annoying as Leonard Ellerbe and his Nostrils are he no question played a Key Role in helping Mayweather build up his Brand. Leonard is now also doing a great job always talking about, always promoting and selling Tank Davis which is big for a guy like Tank who is not the best Talker as we all know

So I think Boxers need what the WWE calls "Valets" like what Paul Bearer was to the Undertaker and like what Paul Heymen is for Brock Lesnar. Have guys with Big Personalities who can talk help Promote them kinda like what Angel Garcia does with Danny.

Even Ali had Bundini!

Boxing is too OLD and Traditional and that is why Boxing struggles to connect with a younger Audience. So Shawn is not wrong but I do Not want to see fighters cutting WWE Macho Man Randy Savage Promos like he tried to attempt a couple of years ago

First Porters Podcast is pretty decent , my only thing is why does Porter Over dress and always wear a suit To a podcast filmed at his house , while his friends look like they could be in line at a soup kitchen.

WWE? , Sit Down Porter, his personality That Makes Paint drying look Ric Flair . Spence literally spent the entire PED fight build up just shi.tting on him and Porter just took it and smiled

Surprised nobody posted the Thurman Porter

If the WWE had keith Thurman they found their next the rock....this guy is comical as ****...misses heel keith, they should rematch

[BangEM]

Isn't Wilder a WWE gimmick?

A pastor son that acts like a gangster talking tough when he can't crack an egg outside the ring and all the delusional king crap. That might be a bigger gimmick than WWE. Add the dives and all the bums he knocked out to it and he makes The Undertaker look like the real deal.

Hes not wrong. That would actually bring a lot of new fans to boxing and would be entertaining as hell

[maguirre]

WWE has its loyal followers. Not such thing as hardcore or casual fans. Meaning, no one depends on casuals to buy PPVs. In boxing hardcore fans want everything for free.
