tbf though if u sign with a promoter it would be kind of his job too to get your name out there

true, but if they don't then what?

It's still your career. If you have the funds to do it, make it happen and then pressure your promoter to do the same. Sometimes you gotta take the initiative. If you can show the difference your self promotion does for your fight viewership, then they might see the potential in it. If not, keep doing what you doing until the contract is up or buy yourself out and do everything yourself.

It's 2019, no boxer with any decent clout should be complaining about lack of promotion. They can do it themselves. Boxers just be lazy an entitled.

honestly...heavyweight might be the worst right now

It is for me.

Bunch of underwhelming fights this year from them nikkas for the most part. Especially compared to last year where you had a bunch of good scraps.
They literally took Welterweight's spot.

Damn Kovalev definitely going to be doing some prison time in the future at this rate. Too many alleged stories of him doing foul shyt against women be coming out. He needs to chill with all that. Is the Yarde fight still on? i've been busy as hell lately but i remember articles claiming the purse bids and negotiations broke down.

As for heavyweights, i'll say its been more entertaining and there has been good quality moves happening too but the problem is shyt is taking too damn long in-between. These cats taking they sweet time like fan interest will always be there. Something my mom always said to me is "you got to strike while the iron is hot!"

Ppl saying DAZN has no viewers like

• they would know the numbers
• it was expected that millions will watch a new streaming service all the sudden

They play the long game they don't aim to get more viewers than ESPN or FOX in 1 or even 5 years

Well what’s the point in signing to them this early and not waiting until their a household name

Floyd didn’t say nothing wrong... you got a better chance of seeing a cicada then a Turbo fist fight


Talked all that tough shyt N ran to Dazn ... if you really think GRJ was goin fight tank at 130 or even be an option


It’s funny tho go into them fight threads leading up N it’s “Tank ducking” ... Farmer said PBC/TMT don’t want the fight N here’s Floyd saying “ WE WANT UNIFICATION WE WANT TEVIN FARMER”


What’s Farmer team sayin?? excuses N jo jo Diaz

The way the game is set up now, these young cats getting these DAZN big money deals, could easily hire and film their own promo and get their own marketing team to help boost their profile. I wouldn't wait for DAZN/Matchroom etc... to do anything if I have the funds and connects to do it myself. Yeah I know its extra work on the fighter, but its not like these nikkas fighting 3 and 4 times a year. They just gotta delegate the work.

They aren’t thinking like yoy

Real champions dont run away with contested victories....Fight 2 I had Canelo losing 9-10 rounds easily......unbiased as fukk here too


GGG making it look easy........GGG cant win this way

 

[Bigblackted4]

whats the worst division because 130 lookin like it may be at the bottom

122 is awful a division bunch of frauds can’t wait to them 118 dudes move up

That boy got touched on repeatedly in the ring, he compensating out here

 

[mr. smoke weed]

yes...i talk about division quality alot ..heavyweight has not gotten the praises ive sung in regards to other divisions ..esp in this decade

After the top 4 its a huge drop off
Same at 154....same at 135
Actually 135 is pretty trash.

Money I guess and playing on the scenario if the risk pays out.

I guess there’s a reason Canelo went w it

I don’t expect any of the 3 big to die out anytime soon. Maybe Showtime from PBC but that’s just because they are focusing on FOX now and seems like Showtime is just hanging on Tank and Wilder.
