How so? Haney is over there. And as bad Garcia is, he's a big name.
How?

By explicitly stating only 1 fight. When will it be, the first or fifth fight in his contract? I've never heard of that being a thing in boxing before.

Say anything about Don King and corruption but he tried to make all fights big as he got the lion's share

Were the rings bigger back then? I’m still going through y’all’s list and the ring looks huge for Pryor vs Arguello II unless I’m tripping.

Yeah... That doesn't makes sense. Everybody can't be a draw. Since he's signed to Matchroom, It's a lot easier to talk up and make a fight between him and Haney than it would be to talk up a fight between him and Russell if he was still signed with PBC.

Also DAZN is out here making fights Hansen damn near every weekend while we wait for PBC to put on a fukkin PPV between Thurman and Tszyu. :martin:

It could have been, ring sizes fluctuate, mostly dictated by

-Which boxer is the A-Side/Promoters side. A boxer/team/promoter might want a bigger ring to utilise their outside game, their strengths in fitness or movement, or the opposite, their opponent has these attributes, so they make it smaller to negate the B-Side strengths. The same goes for smaller rings, and the inverse of this (make it small to brawl, negate an opponent's longer, straight hand etc.)

- Or it may have been the camera position/field of view of the lens was different back then.

A recent example -

Today is fukk Hearn day. fukk that slimy motherfukker.

lol how can i forget him...such a fukking fall off but it was because of his own doing lol
Dude basically started 24/7 when he was covering Mayweather with all those exclusives in camp. Till they fell out over Leon reporting his IRS troubles lol. I think he even beefed with Arum :heh:

But I think Arum was having a senile moment with that lol
