Floyd needs to throw himself at promoting
I've had just about enough of GBP. It's a goddamn Mafia. At least back in the days of Don King there was also Bob Arum to give him competition. Who's giving DLH competition now? I love Miguel Cotto. But he's not promoter material. Floyd Mayweather is. He needs to step up to the plate and promote some of these black American fighters who deserve better name recognition. Face it. Us hardcore boxing fans know all about Terence Crawford. But other than that, who the hell knows his name? I'll bet you take a poll in Mexico and 95% wouldn't know who the hell Crawford is. It's all Canelo, Canelo, Canelo. Gift decisions and all. I'm sick of this B.S.
Cotto should join ranks with Floyd in order to promote other Latino fighters, since DLH is too busy hanging off Canelo's nuts. Promoting nowadays is crap. As much was said in another thread I also posted in. King and Arum were like snake oil or used car salesmen. But at least they knew how to promote. And usually their fighters weren't brought along like royalty since birth, like Canelo has been. They had to show some promise... and only then would they warrant being in King's or Arum's stable.
DLH needs some goddamn competition!!
Re: Floyd needs to throw himself at promoting
Oscar has always been a crap promoter and the cards he has put together have been shit (including the one at the weekend) Arum was a good promoter and King put on some good fights. I actually like Lou DiBella a lot and if I was a fighter I'd probably want him to be my promoter.
Re: Floyd needs to throw himself at promoting
Promoting nowadays is crap? Who is giving GB competition? Not sure how much boxing you follow but it's never been in a more healthy and competitive state worldwide.
So far this year...
Wlad-Joshua 90,000 Wembley (Matchroom) + a bunch of massive stadium/arena fights.
May-Mac sparring exhibition (TMT)
$50m World Super Series (Sauerland)
Canelo-GGG (GB/K2)
ESPN live fight deal - Pac, Loma, Crawford, etc (Arum)
PBC - Wilder, Spence, Thurman, etc (Haymon)
Supefly Hardcore/Nerd special (Tom Loeffler)
I could name another dozen promoters.
Golden Boy aren't even top of the heap, they just happen to have the biggest Latino star.
Re: Floyd needs to throw himself at promoting
Floyd will never stop talking about himself long enough for that as he overshadows majority of his fighters with purpose. It's all about him. He anointed Davis as the true second coming and the kid comes in fat and gives up his sales tag title on the scale with hardly any mention. It'll be interesting to see how he proceeds now after all of the "nothing has been decided at this time about my return" has paid off and he declares he's done for good. Judging from the bank deposit on his last 'fight' he's probably a better promoter than given credit for.
King was the last time I felt ppv was consistently worth it. Was also much cheaper then ;D but some very memorable cards rolled out.
Re: Floyd needs to throw himself at promoting
Floyd needs to throw himself under a bus.
the last thing I want to see is him promoting a fight. Floyd loves himself too much to promote anyone else.
Re: Floyd needs to throw himself at promoting
Floyd needs to fuck off
bit like Liam Gallagher
Re: Floyd needs to throw himself at promoting
King was a dirtbag but his cards were insane. What we would think is a great 3 months now King could do in a night.
