@Knicksman20 you mentioned Vaughn Alexander a while ago, you got anything recent on him? Pat told me he was a jailbird. @Yuzo who do you think will win, Porter or Swift?

He just took a UD L a few weeks ago that I didn't see bro. It sucks because he lost his prime doing like a 10 year bid for armed robbery. He's got nice skills & great hand speed so I don't know what happened this fight. Hopefully I can find it & post it here

dudes better be out there in Janurary right off the bat, all these fighters with one fight in 2018 with nothing on the horizon is ridiculous, don't understand why they don't have another marquee name on the Garcia/Porter card.
Why’d they take Benavidez off that? That’s an insane card then.

Yea I don't get that either, wouldn't surprise me if its the typical Dirrell Bros fukkboy shyt. Ant. Dirrell was originally supposed to fight Callum Smith for that belt but then tried to jerk him into fighting in Flint before Smith bailed and opted for the WBSS instead, then Dirrell was supposed to fight Benavidez before he pulled out cuz of an injury and Gavril slid into that spot, now this fight being delayed. Boxing gotta get rid of these dudes.

Showtime and Premier Boxing Champions strike three-year deal
Per a press released just issued by Showtime, the network has just formally entered into a three-year agreement with Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions which ensures that their partnership will continue for at least a while longer.

The deal revolves around a monthly series of events which will be presented by PBC and air live on Showtime. The network believes the move will guarantee their access to the best talent on the planet for their televised events, considering PBC’s deep roster of fighters. Additionally the agreement calls for PBC to provide content for a significant expansion of live boxing programming starting in 2019.

Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza offered these thoughts on the new deal:

“Over the past seven-plus years, SHOWTIME has developed the most comprehensive slate of boxing programming in the world,” said Espinoza. “We have consistently been recognized for making the most significant contributions to the sport of boxing, both financially and editorially. Building off our industry-leading live event schedule, this long-term deal with Premier Boxing Champions ensures that SHOWTIME will remain the No. 1 destination for the world’s greatest fighters and their passionate and diverse fans.”

Showtime has more or less served as the de facto home for PBC in recent years, airing most of PBC’s biggest fights, and now with a formalized agreement between the companies we can expect more of the same.

Cause they had to pay those 2 guys a lot of money. They would have to raise the ticket prices too if they did that.

Rumor is that Haymon is going to have a deal with Fox too, so his guys should be busier next year.

well i think andre might be done :francis:..anthony who the fukk knows what hes doing...all that talent he has gone to waste..dude was an inspirational story..beat cancer and actually became a champion...im just hoping benavidez-dirrell is being saved for a significant card on its own or putting it on wilder-fury
