Press release:
Sunderland Echo: ...
If Shaw's supposedly going to announce the deal tomorrow, I'd guess he has.
Not that I've seen. The Ukranians were very impressive at the Euro Championships earlier this month, though. Lomachenko, Usyk and two others...
And will be televised on Showtime, according to Daily Telegraph. $2 million grudge match...that's not a bad pot size for the unified super...
Exercise is exercise.
So the dominant 140-pounder "was busy fucking about at 147"? That's how to prove dominance at a weight?
You still have to at least make an attempt to clear a division out. Hatton hasn't done that to my eyes.
Lampley's entire terminology - talking about him as an "American" or "United States" heavyweight hopeful - shows how little he/HBO are willing to...
Who has he fought in those 40-odd fights outside of Tszyu? (And that win's a bit dated at this point.) Urango? Malignaggi? Maussa?...
Well, a magazine would have to have superior writing, insight, features, etc....but if they're not offering that, then yes, it's hard to compete...
One of the most dominant? Based on what? The strength of his resume is largely based on his win over Tszyu. Outside of that, it's not...
I don't know of anybody who does think he is, outside of HBO. His fight with Travis Walker should be entertaining enough, though. I don't...
Tim Austin-Adan Vargas is an easy fight to watch.
I don't know that Lee was that highly rated. He was heavily hyped, but that's not the same thing. It shouldn't have taken that many...
Per Ake Persson:
They shouldn't make any formal announcement before the fight, but when the ring walk music starts, they should have Bobby walk out instead. I...
Stick with him? You mean, when he's still fighting bums on their air a year from now...or in two, when he's fighting on ESPN because he...
Could you project that into some ppv numbers for a Hatton-Pacquiao main event next year for me? Frankly, I think DLH should just fight Bobby...
I think the 24/7 effect is probably over-stated.
I'm not sure "mainstream appeal" should be used anymore in reference to boxing, outside of Oscar De La Hoya.
That's the point. HBO apparently doesn't have the backbone to tell promoters and managers that if you want to have your prospect get the...
The point is, in that division alone, there's Sergio Martinez - who is more advanced - and Angulo and Kirkland...all of whom have fought on HBO...
Well, I always thought his slickness was over-rated, especially after watching his feet.
Yeah, you know, I got a text from a friend during the fight who casually watches boxing and he was talking about how sloppy Vera looked. If...
HBO used to have some standards. I'm not sure a a guy of Kirkland's abilities should even be on HBO, at least not as a name fighter...certainly...
I'm saying, If I'm DLH, yeah I might agree to come to 147 for a guy coming up from 135. But Hatton's only coming up from 140 and has already...
How could there have been "curbed enthusiasm"? Jim Lampley said "This is the fight that the divison cried out for." Of course, Merchant...
Doesn't have to be at 154 to be above 147.
He's fighting Pac at 147? Thanks for the update.
