Comments Thread For: Arum: If Joe Smith & Beterbiev Win, Sets Up A Huge Fight That'd Sell Out MSG Easy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If Joe Smith Jr. and Artur Beterbiev win their upcoming light heavyweight title fights, Bob Arum hopes to match them later this year. Assuming fans can attend by the time a Smith-Beterbiev bout is scheduled, Arum thinks they could even sell out Madison Square Garden in New York.

3 belt unification fight at LHW is a trash fight. Gotcha

Ya that's the only event you'd sell out you greedy old coot .

im guessing this means post covid.....looks like arum is waiting till the fall to make all his bigger in house fights.

Bob still thinks storylines sell fights rather than good fights.... Even casual fans know Smith is not on Arturs level regardless of whatever Cold War narrative they might push lol.

Then don't watch. Doesn't mean he hasn't earned the opportunity. And he's not fighting Bivol, he's fighting Beterbiev. I'm not saying he beats him but they're not the same fighters.

Im ready to see Beterbiev vs Bivol. Smith is clearly below their level. I want the best to fight the best

It wouldn't even sell 1/4th of the seats because nobody knows either fighter. Joe Smith is a tough guy and he has good victory over Eleider Alvarez recently, so he can make things a little interesting but I wouldn't expect him to win. The fight I'd pay real money to see would be Beterbiev vs Bivol, but it would never sell out either, the light heavy weight divisions is an unfortunate division right now. It has some decent talent but 0 stars.

Lol. Sell out MSG? Not even the little theater


I wouldn’t mind this fight though
