Garcia vs Thurman needs MORE!

What a time in boxing when a FIVE STAR, BLUE CHIP MATCH FOR THE BEST P4P FIGHTER IN THE WORLD cannot get the kind of PPV support and Marketing push it deserves.

This fight may be too early to happen. This fight does NOT have the marketing, public relations and SELL it needs to make it profitable.

It is just NOT READY! It's not! People who have been around promotions for a while and understand ticket sales know that this fight is NOT ready yet.

A fight we have to see, and we should be treated to, yes... But let us be honest: It is not ripe yet!

I wish someone has an injury and pulls out and postpones until we can have some real MONEY MAKING BUILD UP to this!

jmo....

You're an interesting sort of troll, aren't you?

I think the timing of this fight is perfect. They are both at or near their peak. It's also on CBS which should hopefully prove to be a better platform than PPV.

The promotions for this is off. It's a WEAK build up. WEAK!

Shut up!

It does not need to be PPV to be classed as a big fight. 2 young undefeated fighters facing one another on mainstream TV? That is as big as you can get.

P4P no.1 match? Arguably it's not even the best welterweight fight made this year let alone a fight to determine the P4P no.1 (which doesn't even make sense).

Why do weirdo boxing fans give a shit about what the fighters make let alone the fucking promotion? What's even more ridiculous is these type of fighters are regularly getting high six and seven figure purses. They are not paupers. They are not slaves. They are not forced to fight, they choose to. Simple as that.

I think what ykda... etc. is trying to say is:

In the culinary lingo started by Golden Boy..... is hasn't had time to marinate yet.
Hell... it's not even ripe.
It's still green.

Let us remember the fight we wanted between Floyd-Pac many years ago.
That one when we finally saw it... it was rotten!
It had gone beyond marinating and ripening.

So fights have to happen at the right time, is what he's trying to say.


In all seriousness, though. I think it's a good time for the fight.
It's a good fight, and we need good fights.
Whether or not the promoters have done a good job promoting it is really their problem.
And IMO... they've done a shitty job.

Fenny (I hope you don't mine me calling you Fenny) you don't seem to post as much these days and when you do it seems as though you have not so much as fallen out of love with the sport but are at least on the verge of falling out of love with the fans.

Am I right in saying that or am I way off the mark?

I agree with what @Fenster is saying. This is a very good fight that can lead to even bigger fights.

I don't know what the build up has been like elsewhere but in the UK it's been non existent which is a shame, it's a massive fight in a good weight class, as you say it should open all the doors.

A cynical Fenster ? ;D

You can call me Fanny if you like, @Batman

I'm not falling out of love with anyone, just pointing out what I think is either stupid or ridiculous or wrong or nuts and can't stand the moaning and groaning. That's all.

Fenster is consistant. Fact.

This is a much better fight than that stupid Haye/Bellew one. If it's on I will try to watch this one. It is a good fight because it is decent matchmaking. You cannot say for sure who will win and that's what it should be all about. All this "I will watch it anyway 'coz I don't like him and it will be funny to se his head bashed in even though I know it's a pisstake" is why boxing ends up with so many appalling matchups. Those kinds of people might be better chopping the heads off of hamsters. Personally I don't see the appeal.

It makes you wonder if his son goes home at night and face palms himself in exasperation.;D

Brits will be able to watch the fight over here on Boxnation at stupid O clock in the morning, if you can take a whole night of Bunce and co grinding thru the undercard ;D If not you can always record and watch as live the next day. I would recommend staying up for it though ( I am unfortunately probably working) as the RBR's here are often top notch and the next best thing to watching with your mates. In fact better because at least then you are not surrounded by casuals telling you what is what :-X and you get to enjoy it with a truly international community

I may stay up for this and do the rbr as I want Thurman to win and take the 0 from Garcia, shut the dad and present a serious threat to Floyd when he decides to comeback and fight but avoid because he is a prick.

I would like to see Thurman win because I think he is more adaptable, looks like he might have once been in Outkast and would be great to see him matched against the winner of Brook/Spence. I will watch the recording on Sunday morning

I don't know about this one and that's what makes it interesting. Garcia is a bit dull, has meandered to points wins against lesser opponents, but nobody has an easy time with him. Thurman is good, but I think when he gets hit he runs more and Garcia might well might that happen as he hits hard. I don't know if it is on the TV yet, but if it is I will be watching for sure. Haye against Pork Pie, I will give a miss. That's a corny one for me.

Honestly the vid of Thurman doing the left hook impression of Garcia was pretty funny. The guy genuinely interviews like he is doing promos for bad wrestling programs. Would absolutely love Thurman to pull off the win but thinking Garcia on points now. Body shots galore.

Have to say that with all of the networks PBC airs on I've only seen a total of 2 promotions for this. Seems very odd considering it's on one of the original "free" networks CBS and a Saturday night primetime slot, old school style. You just don't see that much anymore. Hopefully his ol man can keep his mouth in check during all access 'family hour' :-X

They need to promote this more on mainstream TV! This is a must for every boxing fan, spread the word.

Why is this fight not a sticky, but the other really lame one is? Golovkin is a sticky too and that is weeks away. It doesn't make any sense. Anyway this one is on the telly, so I am quite excited about it. Garcia will win by robbery.

I'm gunna be staying up to watch it, it's gunna be a long old night of boxing.

I may get me head down for an hour after the Haye v Bellew fight.

I'm watching Haye fight at a mates house and then need to set the alarm for the fight I really want to watch which is hopefully Garcia pulling out another upset.

If Garcia wins, then that is the only fight Floyd would make as the Conor fight will never happen without the UFC permission.

We are very close to finding out who is the best fighter at 147 excluding Floyd.
