    These freak matches are the coming thing in sports entertainment.

    Fans are forgetting all about the boxers that make you wait years to watch them fight who they should be fighting. Instead, fans will ship their money to these freak matches.

      That's a good point actually.

      Allied to social media engagement with the fans and crossover appeal it is a no brainer at the minutes.

      That Spence/Crawford 'rivalry' is painful. You kind of feel it is a potential trilogy but neither are keen. Not really.

      Spence would rather get knocked out by Canelo seemingly.

          Ward is the same height and reach as Eddie, no point getting smashed by a pro HW in Thor´s first fight. - These freak fights might actually help boxing gain some new fans and money.. best case scenario it´s a win-win for everybody.

                This fight literally cost under 5 dollars . You would have to be In hibernation to think these fights will take over and if they do then boxing will start making better ones with the top guys so who cares.
