I read his post to disagree that it had anything to do with Fedor wanting easy fights, and that it was solely about money.
Just as Alvarez got shit for seeking a catchweight when he never has, he was the guy who paid the WBC fees to get the belt when Cotto did not. I...
He was apparently old and fat before that fight, too.
Did you watch Tua as his career progressed? The Ibeabuchi fight is an outlier. Steroids were illegal. If he used them for that fight, but not...
I think you are probably correct. Kovalev did not give Bernard the one chance Bernard had.
I thought he got out thrown quite a bit in that fight?
I suspect Tua was on the juice for the Ike fight. There just isn't another fight in his entire resume, that I know of, where he threw punches...
My answer would not be determined by the wealth of the table owner.
This is an easy thing to say for someone who isn't getting exploited. Two definitions of exploit are: use (a situation or person) in an unfair...
That's a good point. Perhaps all of them added up got pretty comparable to a boxing ppv card. As we know, we'll never know. Part of the UFC...
Just because it could feel a lot worse does not mean your aren't getting fucked. I don't know if $5 per ppv is that good or not, but I believe...
Nice.
Yep.
Hahaha, okay, assuming that is true, you might be onto something. I didn't notice.
In March 1998, Rocchigiani captured the vacant WBC light-heavyweight title by defeating Michael Nunn by split decision at Max Schmeling Halle,...
Yeah, and Roy bankrupted a sanctioning body to avoid fighting him.
Did this card actually have more ppv buys than Rousey vs Holm?
Roy would have made more money in Germany, but he went bitch and blamed his Olympic scoring in Korea. Think about that for a second. Rewrite it...
Alvarez 1 and 11: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/boxing/2013/09/15/floyd-money-mayweather-saul-canelo-alvarez-round-by-round/2814989/...
The only one Jones can be completely blamed for is Dariusz. Lineal title + most $ = Jones a bitch. The guy you are missing is Collins. That's a...
Blah, I know I'm in a small minority, but I thought Canelo came forward, threw a lot of punches, and tried a lot more than Floyd. I don't think...
I agree, probably a lot more. It doesn't really matter, though. Jones has ways to make decent money that don't require him to get knocked out.
Has Canelo ever been responsible for seeking catch weights? I thought he was the victim of them vs May and Cotto.
I like bleu cheese on salads.
I've always believed that a superstar athlete in a game sport should continue to play as long as he wishes to. Why should they listen to some...
It would be embarrassing for a knowledgeable fan of mma to try to draw any conclusions from one fight card.
This falls into the 'how he looked at the weigh ins, the stare down at the weigh ins, how they spoke in the fighter meetings or at press...
29 lbs in a day? I doubt it, mainly because I've never heard of anyone putting that much weight on before, even at Light Heavy.
Nah, it lost the fight for him, but isn't the same thing. It could have worked out. It shouldn't have mattered that he got taken down because,...
All he had to do was wind up and land one shot bigger than the shit he was doing. Not that it mattered in the end...
