I think I give fighters waaaaaaaay too much flack for losing, especially via decision...

I'm starting to change the way I look at fighters who take a loss..... for instance, look at Pascal. If he's as done as I claimed he would not have been able to outclass his opponent this past weekend...

With that said, I wouldn't dare put him in with a killer, but still I need to check myself and re-evaluate how I view fighters on the slope...

Is Pascal gonna be in the LHW eliminator? I think Bute is gonna be there and pascal got the W over him. Matter of fact idk who is in this LHW eliminator

As far as I know Eleider Alvarez and Lucian Bute are facing off for the mandatory WBC shot

The guy he faced though already had 10 losses and 1 draw in only 32 career fights. Pascal should be able to easily dominate an opponent of that caliber.


Can he do the same to a RING Top 10 opponent? If he cant beat anyone in the Top 10 of his division, then he's effectively washed up & gatekeeper status due to age/mileage imo.

Adonis needs to fight him




:mjlol: at Adonis Stevenson fighting somebody who can knock his head off whilst I still remember The Polish Pimp was giving him that work almost 3 years ago:heh:


Struggleman is only older and less active since then. Common Joe might pull the upset via KO again:wow:

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
I dont agree with that in the sense of that is assuming g a Canelo-JCC sells more than a GGG fight...if you think JCC then he should sell more. That is an argument for why a percentage is the most fair deal. Come up with a fair percentage split and fighters get what they earn by selling a popular event.

I actually think a Canelo-GGG fight is worth more than Canelo-JCC. I think vs. JCC probably doesn't do much more in Mexico than a GGG fight. They will already be tuning in to watch Canelo, so the same fans will be buying either way. GGG probably brings more money and popularity selling in the European market than JCC.

Either way, let the free market take care of itself. Settle on a split and go get that money. Both those fights are too big for a flat fee. Fans need to realize a flat fee benefits the person giving out the flat fee, not the recipient. Unless you are Andre Ward and get $5 million plus guaranteed to fight Kovalev on a fight that lost money. :wow:

Them Europeans watch the fights for free
