Wow, came out of nowhere. Yeah this is HUUUUGE. Massive for boxing in the US.
ESPN was already doing their part in pushing Wilder vs Fury 1, the second one is going to be seen everywhere now (as far as additional promo)
I can imagine Fury doing monster numbers, like 2.5 - 4 million on ESPN. As long as they don’t be stupid and try to compete with FOX cards (that makes boxing look bad imo)
This gives ESPN a top 3 of Crawford, Fury and Loma..with guys like Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson coming up quickly.

So BJS didn’t need them Andrade problems afterall
so that means PBC/Haymon and ESPN/TR will have to play nice with each other in order to get this rematch cracking
prolly makes Fury vs Femi more feasible though
Marvin Hagler Praises Golovkin, Slams Boxing's Title Confusion
Hall of Famer Marvelous Marvin Hagler, who retired with a record of 62 wins, including 52 inside the distance, two draws and three defeats, shakes his head at the amount of titles that are on offer in his former sport today compared to his heyday.
"Now they have so much they throw them (titles) away like candy," he said.
"It was a long hard road in my day. I said you have to kill me to take it (the title)."
Hagler, the undisputed middleweight world champion from 1980-87, says there is one boxer who he believes represents the good old days and that is Kazakhstan's former unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
"I saw 'Triple G' and I told him I am glad that you became champion because it brings back respect into my division, you look like a champion who will be there for a while.
"Most champions these days, they come and they go, they confuse the public, who do not know who the real champion is.
"Right now they think Mike Tyson is the champion," he adds, chuckling.
Hagler, though, derives great pleasure in his work with disadvantaged youngsters in his role as an academy member of Laureus, a global movement that aims to use the power of sport to tackle social challenges in the world.
"I like to give them hope and direction and put a smile on their faces," he said.
"I went to Brazil before the Olympics to see some of these kids who had bad habits.
"I had to step in there but my wife says 'Marvin, what are you doing?'. However it gets into your blood and you get carried away.
"The coach (at the gym) says I am not going to stop you going in there.
"It is important to catch them when they are young. It was exciting and they responded."
what is this?
..hes getting a shot at a vacant title..how did he get a number 2 ranking?

Why do you say Bradleys assessment is shaky
because YOU don’t agree with it? Remember that the WBC ordered Spence Bradley before he retired so I guarantee Bradley has watched more film on Spence than you have. Furthermore, just because you point out someone’s deficiencies, that means you think they’re a bum? I literally said “Spence as GREAT as he is....” last part I can’t answer 
Danny, Keith and Porter don’t got the gravitas Mikey does.
The question isn’t if Mikey can outbox Spence he will. It’s how long he can do it without getting hurt. Mikey has to fight a perfect fight and keep Spence’s feet moving the entire time IMO.
Yea they have different trainers but they train in the same gym. Guess it’s a coincidence none of them really move their head?
Jermall does not train in the same gym
