Facts
Taking that fight in Japan kinda ruins Norman's whole argument.

exactly because we all know that whatever money norman and his pops was looking for, they found it in Japan and i have a feeling they see sasaki as the lesser risk in comparison to Boots

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

I can tell you why this is a cap ass argument but idc to go too deep into it. Honestly, they refused to go to Boots home turf to fight but are willing to go to Japan to get robbed and/or cheated to fight Sasaki. The challenger's home, not even another champion. It's nonsense.

The dad said what it was during one of his rants. They believe time is on their side and if they wait long enough Boots will either move up out of frustration or overstay the weight class and his performance will drop. That's the game plan.

This kinda thing is why I don't follow the machinations of boxing anymore. I said that I fell out of love with the sport. But just like I did with my ex, I keep going back for that good good.

do we know the Purse for the Japan fight? I mean School Boy went to fight Monster in Tokyo as unified champ because it was a career high pay day. If Norman is getting 200k then yeah I get it lol

This is way too convoluted of an explanation cuh. The promoters, consumers, or even the trainers aren't the ones giving the actual show. The fighters are. And when they're not giving a show, people will boo.

How do I look booing Turki because Haney and Scull decided to get in steps on their Apple Watch?

Is it his fault that Garcia is looking funny in the light for losing, after absolutely obliterating Haney and now it seems like the reason for that aggression was because he was juiced up?

Did Turki tell Canelo to wait until the 12th round to attempt to cut off the ring?

The fighters have to fight. Fighters have to put on a show. If they don't, no one will want to see them and that's including fight fans.

Convoluted or confusing?

You can boo Haney, Garcia all you want, but it's a product of a shyt card with stupid fights, and thats a product of a sycophantic system that is bowing to a sports washing cheque book. Fighters at 147 for the first time after a layoff, scared of losing their fight in dramatic fashion, because they either got knocked down, felt the new weight at 147 and don't want to get a loss because this sport only rewards those that win with perfect records, or they lose marketability in a shrinking, captive capital sense because the influencers shyt on them and they're damaged goods on social media? Haney was disgraceful, but that's not a new style for him, he is acutely aware of when he has an advantage and when he doesn't. Garcia has always been susceptible to that side of his head/body, ol blinking ass motherfukker.

Maybe if the card wasn't so fukking pointless then we wouldn't have even been here in the first place? Do you not recognise this? You're complaining that you didn't see blood in a pointless scenario? We've got others here arguing to dock their pay? This is shyt show promotions and you're cheerleading each other because you wanna see a Dana White scenario. GTFOH, you've all gotten so entitled in your armchairs that you have lost sight of what is actually going on? Maybe you should also be looking at the machinations behind it, and maybe that Canelo got tagged anytime he threw a punch near Scull, was worried about the loss any which way (which was very, very close to happening), but we chatted about that in the other thread.

TBH they shoulda just did Devin vs Ryan and Teo vs Hitchens as the co main and fill out the 1st two fights with literally anyone lol. Literally the marketing for the event wasn't even for the fights on the card

plus we all seen what Boots just did to a guy we all regarded higher than Norman.
it's always been clear who really wanted this fight more, unless you just happen to not like Boots.

From my point of view we don't have to pontificate about how complex it might be and who might be at fault.

Pontificating probably not the right word here considering none of you even read the article lol. Ignorance is bliss.

Meanwhile we have Dana White hosting fights nobody asked for in boxing now. It's all gone to shyt and here we are talking about docking pay lol and how 'cool' Turki is.

Troy King lol. He has great boxing knowledge but can be a little too blunt for some. I remember he used to catch so much heat because he's one of the VERY early people that said he'd favor Thurman & Crawford to beat Spence. Spence fanboys & clowns like BoxingEgo would go at him & be stupid about it.

I'm sure @patscorpio @King P @LauderdaleBoss @ChocolateGiddyUp remember
