That’s a joke PPV , but Whyte v Chisora is ok? #justsaying

The majority of PPV are rubbish. They should be saved for the biggest fights only. Once in a generation.

I hope there aren't too many PPVs in May, cause there are quite a few good fights.

Standouts for me
Haney vs Linares
Dmitry Bivol vs Craig Richards In May
Chris Eubank Jr vs Marcus Morrison In May


I'd like to see what Eubank still has to offer & haven't seen Bivol in awhile! Haney-Linares should be a nice technical battle until Linares gets cut.

Nordine Oubali vs Nonito Donaire


really interested to see what Donaire has left.

Its recent, I like it :)

I personally think boxing for the fan is better than its ever been and has been for a few years, particularly in England

interesting fight most weekend to watch, full undercards, there's even a fight on this Saturday and I cant even remember who's fighting i just know i have to get some beers and sit in front of the telly

I liked prizefighter me, id like to see one or two of those a year

Seeing as how there was a shutdown of boxing, there was a reason many threads have been dated. Younger fans aren't creating many here if at all. It's up to them to help balance the board with recent topics.

That's a decent run. Not Earth shattering but as you said fans really have to consider the situation we're in. Shit I threw a party once boxing came back on air at first and would have sat through Dusty Trunks vs Kenny Getup ffs ;D. What we needed was for the 'names' to start cycling and fully expected a limited 'showcase' or two with restrictions, no live gates-fans etc but you just didn't want it to become a pattern. Unfortunately a few are I'm thinking Andrade and Stevenson :-X;D.

But man we're beginning to see that horizon! Really looking at Fury v AJ, Garcia v Fortuna, Ramirez v Josh Taylor, Haney v Linares (all on Haney will he coast or walk into early fire to equal bad tko rep of Linares) and think Charlo v Costano will be better than expected. Looking forward to Benavidez, Donaire, Charlo and Colbert in action big time. You know what gets lost a bit though is the Teofimo Lopez 1st defense. He's going to be overshadowed on that triller clusterfk frat boy house party acid circus. Kid should be on top of exposure world after Loma but ppv for that nah. Sun's rising imo.

Yup. When we see boxing schedule overall, looks pretty good on the horizon. A shame in this day and age we have to look at a certain network or promoter website to see their fights exclusively.

Bad storm for Teo- winning during a pandemic, seemed to have dampened his coming out party.

Also a shame for Andrade & Benavidez- both have potential great fights ahead- only if those guys would stop haggling & take them on.

Only thing I take faithfully from Boxrec is the schedule. Tends to be pretty far out and well ahead. Just don't rely on the bonker rankings and historical all time listings ;D.

Thought some on Andrade last few fights. I think he has himself to blame for the situation he's in. Some bad early career advise and then following it. He spent so much time railing on getting low level fights and then what's he do..he goes and resigns with Eddie and Dazn. And again cannot make an emphatic statement last weekend. I think he's a case of potential that grew spoiled bored and too content just going through some of the motions. Has always felt they're just stringing him along with that trinket in tow waiting for him to slip up and drop it. I can't remember him being explosive since maybe sparking out Willie "not that Willie" Nelson.

How long ago did he sign this contract? I read a while ago that he'd signed a three fight deal that would pay him, unbelievably, eleven point something million dollars over the course of the deal provided he kept winning. Makes some of the PBC payouts sound like value for money. So you can't really blame him for going for easy options if he can get three in a row and bank that kind of money. He's probably thinking yeah OK another one or two easy fights and I've hit the jackpot.

https://www.boxingscene.com/derevyan...l-1216--122903


The article above claims Andrade screwed up his 1st of 3 fight deal.


About 13 minutes into clip Hearn shows an email sent to Charlo on a fight. Based on their take- hearn stated PBC never got the offer, not Charlo's team. Somewhere between Charlo & PBC appears to be the breakdown in Charlo-Andrade.


https://youtu.be/OAagbdBvaBY




The video below has me buying into the hype that Charlo is a ducker
https://youtu.be/VJ-4hyg0izU

4:35 minutes in Charlo calls Andrade a clown and stated he fights whoever is in front of him: " I do my thug, I never know my opponent. I never even know how much I'm making, I just fight"


Then interviewer states Hearn has offered you 7 million and to do it on your network showtime.

Jermal responded:

"....bro.....if...they offered the right amount of money....uh.......make sense bro.....to unify just 7 million? I get that already....that is all bullshit"


Jermal stated his brother got turned down by Andrade.

He goes on about Andrade being a clown , no crowd seller.

The interviewer IMO punks Charlo & responded- but it was a $300,000 dollars seven years ago that Andrade turned down.

Wow, so it is wrong for Andrade to say no to $300 thousand seven years ago, but it is ok for him to turn down 7 million dollars today.:-\

11 minutes into video you can hear Andrade being interviewed. Totally my opinion, he makes sense and claims his contract allows him to fight on showtime or not. He can do wherever, showtime or PBC. So now he states he is stuck, so he is fighting (the guy he just beat last week) Williams.


Demetrius said it is timing why he hasnt fought either Charlo
Charlo said it hasnt happened because it is all bullshit. and Demetrius is a clown who can't sell seats.

"Bro I will blow his fucking mind with his str8 right hands,,Andrade can't last 5 rounds"
Jermal Charlo

Demetrius laughed when it was played to him. " if I am so scared, then make it happen. If you can blow my mind with right hands sign the fight and send me back home"

This video just confirms it- 2 minute run in- where Demetrius asks what's up whats good? Charlo responds like a bitch azz nigguh. What?:mad: you need some money? :mad: I wanna fight!

I am totally with Andrade

guillermo deals with john riel easily, even at age forty

I just wish they and other top guys missing commonsense match ups would stop talking and doing all their fighting on social media and interview bites. To me honestly the move was Andrades to make if it is Charlo he's barking for as he already knew he was Eddies keep-busy attraction. Literally all he's been doing with lower level opponents. To date Andrades signature win is what Martirosyan maybe Sulecki ???. Sounds a lot like Hearn wants Charlo to do his job for him and comes off kind of cheap flashing receipts that prove nothing to me. Sure it's easy to throw out a quick personal 'tweet' throwing numbers around but we all know realistically it doesn't work like that in making unifications and mega bouts. In the same interview Hearn says it's needed that Andrade face 'names' to grow his star, that he needs them sighting a Derevyanchenko or Munguia, and then who does he offer, a Luke Keeler. I definitely wouldn't label Charlo a ducker. And in fairness I wouldn't tag Andrade as one. I just think he makes bad decisions that keep him stagnate. It has played out clear as day. He yaps up how he is left out and can't get big fights but yet goes back in for 18 months and is still not getting a taste even though some of the bigger names at 160 fight fight under the same roof. Eddie sort of seems like he is playing him for bit of a sucker tbh. Same Munguia who Hearn says Andrade "needed" now sits as his #1 at 160 and is about to fight on DAZN v TBA in June. Would seem a very easy needed name fight to make. And Andrade had already dropped out of negotiations to face Derevyanchenko some time back. Seems like a pattern :-X. Who went on to face the 'needed name' Derevyanchenko..well that was Charlo last time out. Look we all know Andrade can fight. Dude is talented. But eventually if you're not getting what you think you're due but just go along that's on you. And if you're happy to just get paid fat for coasting it out then that's on him too.

I've wondered since Andrade first went the DAZN route if it was also Hearn trying to forge the following, promotions, in his venture Stateside. Get that American talent under wraps. Can't blame a guy for getting paid. It's why they fight and ultimately it's a business to secure your future in a sport that can end on any night for fighters. Andrade indeed hit the jackpot but it has to be very frustrating watching a guy in Saunders who blew a date v Andrade by acting like a coked out perv now get ushered in to the premiere lottery match up with Canelo. I think Andrade is letting it pass him by and realizing it, he's stuck in name-fame regard but yeah for fat pockets I guess.

Not if UFC is gonna put on cards like this...

He's not a box office fighter in any way but he's getting paid like one.
