Agreed. Bunce is at his best in print. He highlights that Mayweather is the highest earner in sport. I paid a visit to Forbes to investigate further and was surprised to read that Floyd, unlike all his rivals in the Top 50, appears to receive no endorsements whatsoever. He's a unique character.

Yeah trouble is Garcia likes to trade, and that's a bad idea with the Argie, who looks a fearsome hitter. But I give the very tough Garcia a good shot.
His dad is a fruit cake - won't be long before he has to jettison him I think.
Grahan Houston & Tris Dixon are picking the Argie. Houston is usually right...not sure about Tris though.
In his preview of Alvarez/Floyd, he weirdly makes the point that he doesn't see it as a 50/50 fight...well that's good to know, because no one else on the planet sees it as a 50/50 fight either

I have a box.nation subscription at home but am a wedding this weekend. Does anyone know if having a home subscription means I can also log into their online service via my iPad? Cheers

The always excellent Kevin Mitchell.
Interesting to read in boxing monthly, Canelo's ex trainer saying he thinks Floyd has made a mistake calling it at 152, as it will make Canelo train even harder. ( of course he was gonna do that anyway though - but interesting to read he doesn't think the weight is a problem for the Mexican )

Canelo looked ripped to shreds but far from gaunt at the weigh in, seemed healthy and strong. Doesn't look like a fighter whose killed himself to make weight, Floyd might have miscalculated this one I reckon...

Can anyone let me know what time the first repeat showing on CH437 is scheduled tomorrow? I won't be home tonight and have't set the Sky to record. I want to time my return home perfectly.

He looked pretty dry, but i though Garcia looked much worse. On the other hand though, Canelo needed to sit down before and after being weighed... which might not be such a good sign. Infact, it's a pretty bad one. Proof will be in the puddin so to speak.
