Wilder did 75k his last fight, why we acting like 150k+ for two people who never been on ppv is bad? Fight was never going to sell.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

$400,000???
I bet Clenelo got fined zilch for the push and slapping Plant's face

He apologized. He thought Plant was saying that he fukked his own mother

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Loma made me laugh at the end with how adamant he was on the “Jesus Christ Orthodox Church” tip.

Always interesting and often disappointing how race and even religion come into play with boxing.

24yo Black American undisputed champion (who happens to be of Islamic faith) wins a close fight in his home country and home/residence state, and is booed relentlessly afterward. Why?

Loma turned it into a battle of the gods after the fight just because Haney thanked Allah a couple times.

I didn’t catch that but that’s kinda funny

Exactly…And Shakur did an interview that’s on YouTube. I tried to post the link yesterday but my internet was fukking up. Gotta find it. Was like 30 minutes long on somebody channel. And he straight up told the dude he rewatched the fight and it was NOT a robbery and if anything he would score it tied if he wouldn’t have it at Haney winning. He admitted he got caught up in the crowd and the jabs he was catching to the face, completely ignoring all the bodywork Haney was constantly hitting him with

A lot of people being followers and shyt … but rewatching by themselves and changing they minds. Lol. The white judges care waaay more about being white than being American, but they gave it to the better fighter that night.

If it's the one I'm thinking about, Shakur said he scored it either a draw or 7-5 Lomachenko.

This is simplified but it’s highly possible that Top Rank lost money or barely broke even on the Super Bowl of the Lightweight Division.


No wonder Bob Arum is mute on a rematch and doing business with the Haneys again.

To be honest I thought the fight should have been on regular ESPN instead of ESPN PPV

I saw an interview with Bob Arum and he said it was at the insistence of the Haneys to be on PPV.

I was bored looking at that. That was one of the more exciting round?

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Rewatched, too many rounds that could’ve gone either way to take a belt away from the champ
