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

[JamesJabdi]

Let me say it again......CRAWFORD WAS NOT LOCKED IN ANY CONTRACT FOR THE SPENCE REMATCH....There was never a contract signed for the rematch. Y'all keep babbling about him being "stuck or stalled" when that isn't the case. Thats the problem with making conspiracy theories because you have to keep on making up random bullshyt instead of looking what is right infront of you.....CRAWFORD IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT HIS NEXT FIGHT!

Crawford has told you that he don't want to fight Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Teofimo, "Boots hasn't done anything", "Not interested in Charlo anymore" and a bunch more for the past 6 months.....the only person he has shown interest in fighting since the Spence fight is Canelo

Instead of trying to wear tinfoil hats and being a nutjob.....why not look at what the man himself is saying.

he was locked in a contract to fight Spence again in a rematch. Boots knew this and waiting until the fight was over KNOWING that they had no choice but to fight each other in a rematch. This man has camped out and done shyt for 8 years his entire career and the sad thing is that he actually has fans. I'm not a crawford or spence fan, but I respect them. I have no respect for Boots and his team and will celebrate the day he gets ktfo. Boxing doesn't need people like this in it. It's that Boo Boo Andrade approach. Fight no one your entire career and claim no one wants to fight you while looking for paydays.

Firstly, Ennis didn’t mandate the Crawford fight, the IBF did.

And what is this 8 years you’re talking about?

He fukked your girl right? That’s what this is about? That’s the only way this makes sense lol.

why do people care so much about what crawford is doing? and its the people who were incredibly wrong about crawford-spence that are still on that wave

I wasn't going to say anything but this is 100% truth. I've noticed the dudes that picked Spence to win have the most to say

Tim so over the top.

And that's why I love him . I actively seek his commentary on topics

HBO World Championship Boxing premiered with The Sunshine Showdown: George Foreman vs Joe Frazier.

Showtime Championship Boxing premiered with Marvelous" Marvin Hagler vs John "The Beast" Mugabi.

It's stunning to me that in an era where entertainment options are plentiful, Boxing on Amazon Prime is kicking off with Tim Tszyu vs an inactive Keith Thurman & Rolly Romero vs Issac Cruz as the first fight card on Amazon Prime all while asking fans to purchase it on PPV. Like could you imagine the NFL starting the season with Kirk Cousins vs Colt McCoy and asked us to pay for it?

People aren't at a loss for entertainment at all......There's legit people who will watch other people stream a videogame. There's netflix, there's social media. There's a million different things anyone could be doing and yet this sport, it's promoters and it's fighters operate like we need them more than they need fans. It's crazy......and none of it makes sense. We don't get the fights we want and if we do it's well past the expiration date and/or they don't live up to the hype. None of this is going to attract new fans or grow the sport at all.

this was a good fukking post...if i could rep you i would

Do you think PBC will back off and make this just a regular broadcast? I can't see this being a PPV, especially as their first show.

who knows? they should but id be surprised if they changed their mind

 

[desjardins]

I agree with the narrative that this first Amazon fight is basically a showcase for Tszyu so why make his major intro to the U.S market a PPV. Why not let these guys have a couple big free fights so they can build up maximum fanbases who will be dedicated PPV buyers later on ala Tank fans
PBC has so much more talent than the other platforms (imo) but between PPVs and inactivity it seem like they don't maximize these guys as much as they could

ill never understand why mayorga gave forrest so much gotdamn trouble


forrest never looked as beastly as he did in this fight...he beat the shyt out of a prime mosley


the GB cards that were on DAZN in 2019 had gems on them, this was one of them


this fight would let me know that thurman would lose to pacquiao


lucas

Sometimes a fighter just has a fighter's number. That's how I felt about Mayorga and Forrest. It doesn't have to make sense. It's just what it is.

of course

just that particular round robin is crazy to me

mosley on his best day could never beat forrest
forrest on his best day couldnt beat mayorga
mayorga on his best day couldnt beat mosley

Similar to the Floyd antagonists during his reign. Folks would come up mythical an unreasonable expectations because they desperately want him to fall.

"Why won't he fight Cotto?" When Cotto was barely known

"Floyd is scared of Kelly Pavlik"
