Boxing has always been a business first, sport second. I believe it was Larry Holmes who said if you want to be the best, fight in the amateurs nygga. This is prize fighting

In order to make the really big money in the world of professional fight promotion, you need to follow the Floyd Mayweather's highly creative and highly lucrative business model. The reason Floyd Mayweather is able to take home as much as $80 million from a single night's work is because he owns every single aspect of his own events. Whenever Mayweather fights someone, he puts up all the money for the entire show, himself. He pays for the venue, the insurance, the vendors and even his opponent's purse, out of his own pocket. When Mayweather fought Saul Alvarez, he spent $15-20 million of his own money before a single punch was even thrown. He also put aside $40 million for himself as an appearance fee. The major risk Floyd is taking is that all these expenses occur before the fight happens. If there was a natural disaster like a hurricane, the fight would be canceled and Floyd would be out of luck.
On the other hand, when the Alvarez fight did go through as planned, more than 2.2 million households ordered it on Pay Per View for $65 which generated $150 million worth of revenue. Even after a large percentage was taken out for the distributors and costs, Floyd was still left with a $45 million bonus. And 100% of that money went directly into his bank account (after taxes). When you add Mayweather's $40 million appearance fee and his $45 million PPV bonus, you can start to understand why he makes $85 million for a single fight.
I need the expert opinion of some of my boxing brethren, so @patscorpio , @SuikodenII , @Tuaminator , @King P , @Newzz , @ChocolateGiddyUp , and fukk it @Skip b help me with this:
What's your opinion on the Charlo twins? Are either of them elite? Any potential? I've only seen Jermell fight twice and Jermall once. That Hopkins fight was brutal to watch too. I was hoping to see Jermall fight Molina. I've had people ask me, but I can't give an uninformed opinion. I'm trying to watch some older fights, but let me know.
BTW, no offense to anyone I didn't include. Those are just the names I see most in here when I post.

Legends Never Die
I'm really not sold on either of the Charlo bros. They're good, but I just don't see anything special in them 
Scottie Drippin
Should Never Mention Me
He and TBA done went Best of 7 like Booker T and Chris Benoitthere we go with those damn TBA/Gary Russ jokes again
I think Jermell Charlo is the real deal. The way he destroyed Gabriel Rosado at his natural weight was
I think Jermell is gonna be a problem at 154. He showed Peter Quillin how you're supposed to put hands on a Gabriel Rosado.
I havent seen enough of Jermall to speak on him confidently.
I will say this though. Errol Spence, Demetrius Andrade, and Jermell Charlo are gonna be a serious problem at 154.
It sounds funny saying Andrade when he's already a champion, but he's heavily overlooked

Those Charlo boys are the real deal and if they develop like I think they can they will run 154. Y'all saw what Jermell did to Gabe Rosado. I know Rosado isn't all that good but he was giving Quillin all sorts of problems before the cut and even had some pockets of success against GGG when his eyeballs weren't bleeding but he was totally useless against Jermell. Jermell won every round easy. I think Jermall is the better of the 2 and the more powerful of the 2, but not by much. Shame Molina got pinched cause that was gonna be Jermall's coming out party
these are good numbers since both guys came off losses
canelo is a future superstar. he probably won't even have competition for being the #1 cash cow in boxing.
krackdagawd
Inspire.
elite now? no..potential possible..they are competent boxers and being brought along properly...im on the fence with them myself until they face higher caliber fighters
SuikodenII
Where's Suikoden VI??????
With Ronnie Shields in their corner, they both have a shot at being top 5 at 154 by the end of the year, they just need good opponents
How about we bet on Paulie vs. Broner 2 if that ever happens, now that we got Uncle Al protection.
Or the Maidana rematch if that happens instead.
If those fights happen we'll definitely be doing some wagers
Also I take it your proposition means you're not confident Santino Malignaggi will beat Porter this April
Prove me wrong Krack
