So you're hoping for the impossible. Sounds frustrating.

Originally posted by jonnyc420 View PostI am sure any boxing fan would want to see any those fights so about as frustrated as any fan. You are correct that they may not happen this year but the pressure will add up and some have to happen by 2019. Especially the PBC guys there should be no excuses there if any of them care to be the best and not just cash checks fighting guys like Rios
Assuming Garcia beats Rios, he would be the WBC mandatory next year and in line to fight the winner.
Shawn Porter likely fights Keith Thurman later this year.
Spence may have to make an IBF mandatory before the year is out.
PBC will never deliver every fight you want as soon as you want it (what boxing entity does?), but every single year, PBC delivers big fights and doesn't put them on PPV.
Assuming there isn't a last minute hiccup and Wilder vs. King Kong ends up on CBS March 3, the PBC tradition of having a huge fight on free over the air TV in early March every year will continue to grow and bring in new fans. The ratings for Thurman vs. Garcia were through the roof, as they will be for Wilder vs. King Kong. As they will be next year for Thurman vs. Spence if both are still undefeated.
Haymon doesn't rush things. He's trying to take over boxing. It's a slow process. He gives us enough big fights to maintain his control, but he makes sure to pace himself so he can continue to deliver big fights for years to come.

Originally posted by JakeTheBoxer View PostWell, they will have to prove that. Thurman is the man to beat in division so far. I don`t count Pacquiao, who will retire soon.
