Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Exactly.


Can't justify paying Jessie Vargas $2.8 million + PPV upside, WITHOUT using HBOs budget bc it was a TR only production, but then stroll across the street to PBC asking for AB, Swift, or Thurman at only $1 million more


This dude Vargas damn near got $3 million plus PPV and he's not even a draw at fukking all

They better open up them checkbooks bc I seriously doubt Swift or Thurman takes anything below $5 million plus PPV as well to face Pacquiao because they are so much bigger than Vargas & the fight does much better than Pac/Vargas did

yeah man I think they might be forced to fight craw cause none of the draws ive seen speak on the subject over at pbc are willing to budge for pac....just like ggg team aint budge.

and we know may aint coming back...sooo

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Real talk.. Id like to see the winner of Brook/Spence face Pacquiao
The winner of Thurman/Swift face Floyd

The final 2 winner face each other for the crown

Ain't mad at that

The winner of Swift and Thurman can make an argument for asking for more than 4 million.. Buscuits cant though.. dont try and lump that c00n in with the rest of the big dogs out here making moves

The crying what will begin when Thurman keeps it safe and beat Garcia in the same fashion as Bundu...
Obviously it won't be THAT wide but if Thurman's overall approach to that fight will be the same (keep it safe and win from the outside) and he won't get suckered into a brawl then Swift and his dad are fukked

I'm not so sure Keith's pride will let him do that.

Keith likes to put on a show, he's made that clear. He did that against Bundu, but I believe he did that purposefully as it wasn't a big fight and he was trying to show off something new. And when he was criticized for it, he would get heated trying to explain his actions.

Against Swift in a big fight, he's gonna go all out. Especially if he doesn't respect Danny as a WW. I expect to see the Thurman that fought Ghost. If not for the whole fight, a good portion of it

You calling our line...begging for a fight with The Problem to help sell tickets. Not vice versa

Nice to hear from virgil in the days leading up to the fight been rewatching a lot of both of their fights interested to see the inside fighting and if Ward go full in the clinch with forearms elbows hooks uppercuts bodywork etc

Damn he mauled Chad Dawson vicious in that fight inside

 

[BeatsBoxingMayhem]

Since there's a good amount of SOG fans here I thought you guys might be interested. Had the chance to do some mythical match-making with Dre and had him break down how he'd fight Calzaghe, Toney and Jones.

he took breaks vs porter too tho...lol he didn't slug every min.

I remember the commentators saying "he takes one break to stick n move and crowd starts booing''

that's why people started with "run time"...every time he gets hurt to the body or tired he moves. keith knows his limits.

yeah danny can win no doubt I just don't think he will.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Nah...that's a hardcore Boxing fan that got taken down by this weak year of Boxing


@Ari Gold Bawse even ran his own Boxing podcast and predictions....plus he was THEE go to guy on unknown Euros for us

This reply



I'll take this up when I get off the highway



But, if being willing to drag up Lomachenko 2 weight divisions to 140, BUT refuse to face Terence Crawford at the same weight class, AND Crawford's a bigger draw than Lomachenko is easily, it's a duck.



Do I really need to repost all the quotes from Team Quackiao in reference to a Crawford fight again?

Bruh you could Storify every tweet Terrence Crawford has ever posted and I wouldn't give a fukk. ts not a duck because Manny Pacquaio does not have to fight Terrence Crawford for any reason whatsoever.
When you get to the point where Manny is at you choose who you want to fight and there is nothing wrong with that.
That is one of the privileges of being a legend.

That's where I stand on it.
Being a legend has its privileges and one of them is not being forced to fight every up and comer from Bumfukk, NE just because other people want you to do it.
At a certain point in your career you can do whatever you want.

Terence Crawford isn't some random up n comer. He's solidified in the sport as the Lineal/RING/WBA/WBC Champion at a division Manny is willing to drag up 2 divisions to face the much easier, less drawing, Lomachenko at.....and he's ranked #5 P4P and has the same management and promoter as Pacquiao has. Arum wants to make the fight. Again, his promoter wants & pushed this fight to happen already once. Roach/Koncz are already on record saying they refuse to let Pacquiao face him. If that isn't blatantly avoiding, then what is.



For some odd reason though, I feel like if Terence Crawford was exactly who he is today, but he was a PBC fighter instead of a TR fighter, and Floyd was still active instead of Pacquiao, you wouldn't be saying Floyd can "do whatever he wants" as he avoids Crawford for the 2nd time in a row........but instead is entertaining dropping down to fight with Robert Easter Jr at 140

I expect him to fight like that up until he gets hit with some shyt that will make him think twice, how he reacts after that is what I'm interested in seeing.

S-hit is the real deal, breh...........
