Re: What happens when purse bids are enforced between fighters with rival promoters?
any promoter can bid and the one who wins the purse bid gets to stage the event. not sure if i read the question correctly, but what contractual arrangements the fighters have with promoters, managers, tv networks, etc, don't matter. don king regularly used to jump into purse bids and then default o...

Re: Canyellow v smith
it's not even a guarantee smith will get by his next cherry picked opponent. smith knows his days with a title are numbered and this and cotto are by far his best chances at a big reward for getting his hands on that title. for canelo, it would be his easiest path to another title at both 154 and 16...

Re: How to prospects (and Keith Thurman) survive financially between fights
You won't believe it but about 2 years ago I worked with a light heavyweight that was ranked in top 10 by at least 1 organization who fought about 2 x a year. For fighting a cagey experienced veteran in a relatively small non televised venue he earned about 5 thousand dollars. and out of that he pa...

Re: The next Wilder's challengere could be Arreola! All of this is embarassing for boxing.
I expect Wilder to take a fight about a week before even the American scientists can't continue to deny any more that Povetkin's meldonium numbers are perfectly normal and explainable in his case. This to continue to delay as much time as possible. Povetkin is about the only sporter who's guilty un...

Re: Brook v Vargas Unification fight
i believe bradley will get the brook-vargas winner.
bradley obviously has earned a higher ranking than spence.
the next guy spence fights also won't be as good as any of bradley's last 10 opponents,
and bradley would be a bigger money, higher profile fight.

Re: The next Wilder's challengere could be Arreola! All of this is embarassing for boxing.
wilder wants to fight ASAP, as he has already gone through a training camp. there are only a few name fighters willing to show up on short notice like that. when fury's fight with chisora fell through, ustinov was willing to step in on like a day or two's notice, so guaranteed if he was offered a wi...

Re: Becoming A Boxing/MMA Judge
go to the boxing commission and apply. the requirements are on the application.
pretty sure you have to set up swiss bank accounts first and have compromising
photos of yourself in the mob's possession and a gambling problem helps.
