to be really honest I was a bit
and thought I was making it in The Ring, then figured instead of double posting it a mod would move it anyway.
Sorry but it's true guys. Look at boxing's schedule, look at UFC's schedule. Look at their recent fights, excitement. Fighters actually want to fight. Lawler yesterday, the 3rd sentence after that was went "let's do it again" - you think that would happen in boxing? Lawler would say "I have to talk to my promoter" then would fight the UFC equivalent of Silky Wilky in his next fight.
I think I'm pretty much done following boxing from day to day. The speculation isn't fun anymore, because at least before the speculation led to big fights. The natural progression of the biggest boxing fights to be made took 5 years for Floyd/Manny, and like 2 years for Cotto/Canelo. All because of promotional BS.
How is BJS gonna be offered like 8 million dollars and GGG gets B-side money, and he's still gonna turn it down? Top level boxing isn't a sport anymore, it's just a series of business decisions.
2016 big fights made in boxing:
Wilder vs Szpilka - enough said of that circus
Garcia vs Guerrero - seriously?
Kovalev vs Pascal - pointless rematch because no top contenders wants to fight each other
Bradley v Pacquiao III - pointless rematch
2016 fights in the UFC:
Lawler vs Condit - good title fight
Cruz vs Dillashaw - good title fight
Johnson vs Bader - HW contender fight equivalent to Jennings vs Ortiz
Werdum vs Velasquez - good title fight
this is one month of fights.
