    Default How do you feel about guys who talk themselves into big paydays?

    Do you get irritated when more deserving candidates are thrown to the wayside in favor of the brash trashtalker who, using his mouth and not his fists, generated big interest in a fight and got the big payday? Does it take away from the credibility of boxing?

    Or are the charismatic trash talkers essential to keep boxing afloat now adays by selling more tickets?

    Yeah I was thinking of David Haye. He talked a lot of shit and came up with a pathetic performance... but it worked out great for him because he made a lot of money from it and got boxing excited about a HW fight.

    Why hold anything against the talker trying to get a big fight and payday, hold your grudges against the champ thinking he had an easy victory and payday against a lesser fighter instead of fighting someone who deserves a shot based on their past performances.

    As a David Haye fan I felt cheated and that's how I feel if you talk at least try.

    Audley is a bigger fraud.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Robert Guerrero who has done nothing on the big stage is trying to TALK his way into a fight with PBF. I find it quite annoying. The guy has been taking on C rated fighters and is trying to leap into A+ territory.
    He is at least 3 fights away from getting there even if he ends up being elite.

    Ordinary harrison talked his way into a title fight big payday with haye, then swiftly got smashed to pieces!! Supose hes still riskin his life gettin thru the ropes tho! Boxings always gona have numpties and trash talkers who get big paydays thru there big mouths, altho its normally entertaining watching them get shut up!!

    Ricardo Mayorga is the master at doing this, along with Don King helping him and stealing all the fucking earnings.

    Mayorga has talked his way into more high profile ass whippings than perhaps any boxer in history.

    But, he's still the man.
