It's a good point that PBC is in it's infancy and should be allowed at least a full year to really judge where there at, how it's been for the sport, etc. And I was saying that in the beginning, what did I say, something like I'll be cautiously optimistic, something along those lines.
[quoteQuillin is coming off a draw to Andy Lee, in a fight where a lot of people think he won. Unless they don't think he can make 160 there's no reason for this fight. He should at the least be in with a borderline contender in the division or an eliminator of some sort. There's no building that's needed if they want to make Quillin/Jacobs for a ridiculous secondary title. [/quote]
Its such a terrible fight! And all this to "build up" the Jacobs fight, which they've could have made a long time ago. No need to build it up, just fight. It's not like it's a huge fight or anything.
I couldn't even find this channel, doesn't look like I have it unfortunately.
Exactly man. There is no need for these kinds of fights, no point at all.
I wouldn't even care except the fact that PBC/Haymon have a HUGE opportunity to bring boxing to the mainstream so why waste this limited time on joke fights? Why not make the best of it, make a bang? I don't get thr strategy of making a few good fights with a bunch of average or flat out terrible fights. This is investors spending millions upon millions of dollars here and they'll stop funding eventually. I just don't get it.
Yeah, some are good but nothing really special (on paper). I mean seriously, all of these cards what were great fights? Thurman vs Guerrero, Broner vs Porter, Garcia vs Peterson. That's it. They aren't making really good fights that the fans want to see. I mean Vargas vs Omotoso, Fortuna vs Vazquez, and the others those are decent, under card quality fights. But where are great fights? Porter, Thurman, Khan, Garcia, Spence, Maidana all guys at 147 and all guys not fighting each other. Seems logical it would have been Thurman vs Khan instead of Algeiri, or Thurman vs Porter, or Porter vs Khan, or any of these guys against each other would make sense. I don't understand the matchmaking at all.
