This is not a bad fight imo, don’t know how Hogan transitions to 160 but he gave Munguia hell and Munguia is just as big or bigger than Jermall. Charlo should win but he might struggle.

I agree. The problem is, Showtime is going to completely ignore Hogan during the build up with any promo etc or even a bit of focus, which just cements the idea to the casual fan that this is a 1 sided fight.
Top Rank has the same problem (look at Wallin and Nagatani, both gave Fury and Teo Lopez fits yet they were treated like scrubs leading up to the fight).
It’s problematic because it’s a complete disservice to the fight, and you can also shoot yourself in the foot if and when the opponent ends up looking good/makes it a fight.
The current FOX model with PBC is just the best, they got the blueprint from UFC. Both fighters in the main event get attention with both the Camp Show and the face to face (it doesn’t matter if you’re some no name, they will have a camera crew behind you).

Agree with the first part, don’t see FOX being any different in this tho

Charlo need to make a statement .These short notice fights have a way of making you look bad especially with a guy like korobov

I agree, maybe not during the sit down shows like Inside PBC..but, Hogan would get half of their 30 minute Countdown show, and he would be on their face to face. It has been their formula so far for every main event on FOX or FS1. Even the clear B sides have had camera’s behind them for those shows.
We would at least get a decent glimpse to who he is.
speaking of hogan i got something in my e-mail from barclays...presale code for the charlo vs hogan fight..interesting

How would that compete with something like stubhub (closer to the fight). Huge discount?
ive only taken advantage of a presale code for thurman vs porter...they usually have certain levels of presales..general presale, presale for cats who have visa cars, etc etc...its a discount for sure but i took it more just so i can the best seats i could for my buck before it filled up...i got some good ass seats for less than 100 bucks..that was a win..i met up with @King P there..dont remember if he used that code too..his seat was better than mine lol
Simple actually.
Wilder has the height advantage and will use it. Has the KO power early and late. And has so far shown he can take punches from all the top HW not names Ruiz or Joshua

Ruiz not top tier power like ortiz dubois wilder joshua whyte etc honestly but his speed lets him land king of fighters desperation move combos and from a man that size..... Ouch
