You were able to do chat back then? What turned you into a fly by night troll?

That's the thing they called me nutcase when I called Floyd the best in a long time and he would surpass Roy Jones Jr. I ranted back in 2001 and everybody called me crazy! I ranted also about Canelo right after the Gomez fight now he's the #1 attraction in boxing. Dude give the spell time to work! ...

You mean Canelo will be in that range? That's where he's at when fighting at 155. Chavez was 180 in 2011 vs Zbik. He's way bigger now

With the U.S. and U.K. combined it'd do around 800K I think, and at least 500K of that would from the U.K. I'm not sure it's even PPV worthy over here. If the fight is in the UK where they can maximize their profits, it's not gonna be PPV in the US with the time difference. AFAIK US prime time figh...

They could do a mil plus in both UK and US if built correctly. They should get AJ to do a couple of voluntary's against solid opponents in the U.S and Wilder to do one (against an opponent atleast ranked in top 25) on a bill with AJ in the UK. Then do it June 2018. Doubtful, barely anyone tunes in ...

Thread title is speculative, deceptive, and not based in fact. That's cause it was made in advance. Guesswork, as many threads tend to be. But well informed and based on common sense, so figures you'd complain http://www.BS.com/andre-ward-sergey-kovalev-ppv-show-barely-cracked-160k-buys--111208 :TU...

If the numbers were bad, it's not the fighters' fault. It was a great scrap and they both deserved to be very well paid for it. The promoters should have done a better job selling it. The fact that a fighter with Ward's record, a former Olympic champion can't draw sh*t in his own country is definit...

See, it's stuff like this that creates a bias for me. I really hope Walters beats this man down. - When the fight was first proposed early in the year, Walters wanted a million, a deal killer. Loma offered half his $600k purse to grease the wheels to no avail. Now Walters has seen the light to go w...

Ward won, deservedly. Where does that leave Krusher? Ward didn't win, but Kovalev slid for me to 7-10th position, because he couldn't stop or totally dominate the slow and rusty version of Ward. It hurts, doesn't it? Krusher lost. Own the L. You were making similar posts after Pac Bradley 1, clown....

DLH and Canelo are telling you they want to fight 4 times (since Cotto) before Canelo. They are milking the fans with garbage fights, and Canelo's fans seem oblivious, quite stupid actually. On the flip side, GGG gets a total pass in every situation. Regardless of what people believe, GGG/Canelo is...

Everyone shakes head at 25% for Jacobs ... except GGG's people (obviously). and idiot fans who somehow get pride when the fighter they likes "wins" negotiations. But then act like they don't understand idiots in TMT t-shirts. Crossing that weird threshold where you feel happy watching a c...

Cringe worthy poster, especially when he tries using the word "honesty"

Couple of reasons you're a bottom of the barrel poster, on some many ignore lists: Always lying, like Loeffler calling for purse bids 12 days before due. It was actually 5, after 4 weeks of getting nowhere in negotiations. It's not even 2 weeks later and you hear this from team Jacobs I really don’...

My gut instinct tells me that it’s in K2’s best interests to postpone the bout until next year, due to HBO’s currently limited budget, which represents a risk in them losing the WBA purse bid to Showtime/Haymon/DiBella. So K2 may try attempt serious contract negotiations for a 2017 bout when HBO’s ...

I love the argument that Floyd waited for Pacman to get old when Floyd is older than Pacquiao :lol: Pac had way more wear and tear. By 130 he'd already fought Marquez x2, Barrera x2, Morales x3, and a whole slew of beltholders. It's amazing how long his aggressive style lasted at welter. With Vada ...

Ok Canelo is lineal but is he the worst lineal champ ever? Wins and defends at 155, vacates to avoid his mandatory, drops back down in weight. Says body not ready for the weight.

Here's Froch clarifying it 6 months later. Posters can draw their own conclusions: "It was tongue in cheek back then. I was being a bit cheeky and you can take those comments with a pinch of salt. What I will say though is this guy can f*cking punch: he's dangerous and if he can be avoided we'...

Kell Brook +1 - 1 for pulling the plug on his opportunity for a tremendous victory or a courageous defeat. 3G should be banned from modern boxing for hurting people :OhYes: http://www.BS.com/brook-my-trainer-right-thing-seriously-bad--108658 It was the right decision and I can fight another day. I ...

He didn't pass on Froch. Team GGG were offering him all the concessions, Froch was having none of it and retired. "Swerve him like the plague" I have previously supplied an interview transcript of Froch claiming that GGG had requested a 164lb catch-weight stipulation for one of the attemp...

bring on the Jacobs fight before end of year, he is pretty dangerous boxer. Take last belt from Saunders in may and he can be undisputed middleweight champ, that will be hell of a achievment. Set up megafight with Alvarez for september. If he can handle these 3, retire as a millionaire and ATG. :bo...

Iirc a towel was thrown when Yuri Foreman's knee was buckling all over the place vs Cotto and Mercante Jr threw it back to reward his gutsy effort with a few more sitting duck blows

As a side note - Anyone that believes that Golovkin possesses a porous defence, because of the high volume of shots that Brook landed, is being naïve. GGG allowed the Brit to land his blows to excite the crowd, because the punches weren’t damaging. Are you seriously trying to say Golovkin was letti...
