Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

These suggestions are always dumb. Boxing is way to corrupt & subjective for a “winner takes purse” approach. That is always overlooked when someone brings up the scenario.

The only way something like this would be fair is if there’s a clean KO that is undeniable


not a tko because we all know a ref can jump in and stop the fight prematurely
Lets not even talk about the fight going to decision. Judges get fights wrong. You’d be foolish leaving your purse in the judges hands

Not the purse but that 20%, honestly I'm just tired of this "A side-B side" shyt over and over again, it's a small miracle Fury and Joshua could agree on 50-50 and nobody created a pissing contest about "sides".

Don't leave it in their hands then,idk what else to say, something's gotta give, man...

One of the worst sayings in combat sports, and we've just seen last week Moloney bust a dude eye socket in 2 rounds and the commission take a win from him

Ali tortured dude. One of the worst Sonning ever

I see why you saying that but I cut them some slack too cause I think PBC did well to at least match up their best 147ers. Spence vs Thurman hasn't happened but other than that

He damn fast for a big man

This is PRIZE fighting. This business of boxing has always been part of the sport. These guys only fight once a year anyway, twice if we’re lucky. What else are you gonna talk about anyway? There’s such a huge gap between their fights, might as well talk boxing business. Nothing wrong with determining who the A side/B side is.

I get it, you want them to just fight and the winner gets the extra 20%, but it would be foolish for anyone to entertain it.

he also dabbles in PEDs

If Crawford went to PBC, there would just be too many options. like a Mikey Garcia or Danny Garcia. Who could resist these paydays?

I'm talking about TBC vs. Spence.
Obviously he'd get Ugas types and probably Thurman, Mikey if it was split to his liking

The fact that these guys can move the way they do illustrates it is a marquee division where the money is at.

It’s definitely not fan friendly though.

you said even if Crawford went to PBC you doubt the fight would happen? Correct?

I’m not necessarily certain it would happen either, because he would have other attractive options

I look at boxing solely from a promoters/managers view, because those are the fights that can realistically happen. If you keep looking at it like a fan, you’ll always be disappointed.

Spence v Mikey 360k
Spence v Porter 300-350k

Bud v Postal 50k
Bud v Khan 150k


How tf is that not a 60/40 split

60/40 is fukking generous

 

[The axe murderer]

he also dabbles in PEDs

So does fury

.

If TBC and Spence attitudes are they don't need each other and they far apart on the money then it's no guarantee even if he go to PBC. See Thurman vs Spence.
If TBC goes to PBC i don't want any marination bouts. Let him do his last tune up under TR in the first half of 2021, fukk that. First PBC bout need to be Spence, Manny, or I'd accept Thurman even.
