I swear its like Haymon has a grudge against Thurman. He is exactly the type of fighter you would think he'd push but instead he gets treated like a red-headed stepchild.

Thurman not having a contract with GBP shouldn't matter at all. Its not like Keith is headlining PPVs which us where GBP is most needed by top fighters. Haymon could throw together a card with any half-assed promoter at any small casino in the country with Thurman in the main event.
Nah, Al has to take the blame for Keith not getting any fights and I'd like to know the reason why.

I still think the super 6 was one of the best things to ever happen in the sport of boxing.

I remember being frustrated with fans on boxing sites, because they would complain about the tournament being too long & it really seemed like they wanted to crown the winner quickly.

I was like what is the rush? We are getting fights that we wouldn't get otherwise. If it wasn't for the tournament, you would get the usual bullshyt of a fighter cherry picking a bum until a big fight comes up. The spotlight was on 168. 168 is now shyt again.

look at some of these division now that could benefit. Yeah it may take 2-3 years to complete it, but it's better than some of the shyt we are getting now.

:snoop: @ the bytching & complaining during the tournament. Of course some fighters weren't gonna make it all the way thru. Props to Ward for winning that shyt.

in terms of its programming super 6 was outstanding...fight camp 360: inside the super 6 are some of the best behind the scene episodes that ive had the pleasure to watch regarding boxing...i also think it was good because it spotlighted a talent laden division that needed attention and gave them much deserved exposure. my issues with the super 6 was that half the fighters dropping out diluted the quality of the fights and the tournament some. i would love to see it come back for another division with a tweak here and there

the set up and idea was good but delays and drop outs were the let downs, it seems like it would never end..we wanted the bute fights as he was getting all this hype etc..

bute vs ward should have been on the agenda the moment ward won that..that was a money fight..that fight not happening is bullshyt
