If only the fighters of today could fight a blown up 5 L lightweight at 168 (Vinny Paz)

Or the ever dangerous Steve Lionheart Frank...perhaps a title defense against the killer known as Willie Bo James

like i said...it all depends on the matchmaking breh..if we get swift-ghost title fight type of fights then nothing will have changed...but we will see
But breh......the first two fights they announced were LSC/Frampton 2 which has belts on the line amd is an ill fight, even though Frampton probably dominates this time. And Swift/RunTime which is a unification.

Both of those are the exact opposite of swift/ghost

Ghost-Swift type of matchups are pretty much all HBO/GB/TR have been giving us since PBC started as well....hopefully they step THEIR game up in 2017 as well bc they were the worst.
@patscorpio I had to pay $60 or 70 bucks to see Crawford/Postol 140 unification.

Swift/Run-Time gonna be on CBS :wow:

We're talking about TV ratings right? Because there is 0 chance for any of yall to say Lemieux isn't a bigger ticket seller than Jacobs.


On TV, 3/4ths of the paid audience left before Jacobs fought Mora in the rematch....and he did 187k viewers in the main event. His biggest matchup vs Quillin, he did only 408k peak viewers.


How do yall come to the conclusion that Jacobs is a bigger draw than Lemiuex, when Jacobs isn't even a bigger draw than Robert Easter Jr:heh:


65-35...get in the ring and fight or take 75/25 via purse bid. Lemieux at least brought a Championship to the table, which is how he earned his $$$, Jacobs brings nothing.





Lemieux's last 2 times fighting on non-ppv was 163k on FS1 going head to head against AB/Porter on CBS & Ward's return on BET and 1.16 million vs Rosado on HBO.


Jacobs last 2 times fighting on non-ppv, he did 187k on Spike and 408k on Showtime and went head up vs no one.

this is ridiculous spin on plain facts, not to mention stanning the most boring anonymous fighter in boxing with andrade :heh:

Lemieux fought on FS2, which no one has, and put on there at short notice. And STILL pulled 163k? Solid number for a channel no one has.

Jacobs vs Quillin the MASSIVE battle of Brooklyn or whatever got like 8k and he last fought in some VFW Hall, Lemieux gets more vs some Argentine street sweeper
