    Who are the current true A-side in Boxing?

    A+ side: meaning they can fight a broomstick & make 8 figures regardless


    Saul Alvarez
    Anthony Joshua

    Honorable mention: Manny Pacquaio


    A- side: meaning that they need a good dancer partner but will always earn the lion share base on resume, ppv sales, fanbase, etc.

    Ryan Garcia
    Errol Spence
    Gervonta Davis
    Deontay Wilder/Tyson Fury

      A lot of people don’t really understand what A side means, when Oscar fought Mayweather he earned 52m, Mayweather earned 25m (His previous highest was 8m against Baldomir), that is what you can A side, when your opponent can double or almost triple your previous highest payday.

      Which one of these current boxers can do that for you? Pac? AJ? Canelo? Probably those three are what comes to mind. I doubt anyone else can do that. No one can sell 900k at the moment on their own.

        You gotta admit Floyd sold the **** out of that fight though. Also Floyd wanted to be a star. Years of rubbing elbows with the who’s who of sports, music, and other entertainers. Canelo barely does interviews in English anymore. And don’t get me started on those other dudes.

              I agree. Boxing is a B level now with all the politics. Lots of fighters are rotting. I wanna piss on all promoters and networks. Excuse my language.

                Floyd sold that fight, after that matchup, he become the A-side going forward.

                  Why do people care about this? The A side B side stuff is bull****, the best need to fight the best. I DONT CARE WHO IS A SIDE. In no other legitimate sport is this ok,

                    Would you rather be a boxer or a boxing celebrity?
