World Cup Of Boxing II On August 11! Mexico versus Philippines!

[josef4334]

man, why cant GBP drop the machismo shat and add pac vs jmm and make it a ppv event.. that will bring more money IMO

I hope Top Rank and GBP could work somethin out.

i dont think Top Rank will have any problems about making that fight. but since GBP is hesitant about making it a fight, arum has to look somewhere else.

This World Cup of Boxing sh*t sounds good. Anything to stir up a little more of a fan base for this great sport. Just like soccer brings out the nationalistic pride in millions of people, maybe World Cup Boxing could do something similar, even if it's on a reduced scale.

I hear 'ya....
I mean the 1st WCofB did wonders as far as numbers and all that so heres hoping this 2nd one does even better....

Did it really do good by numbers? That's cool. I ate the first one up, excellent matchups. This one has the potential to be even better imo. Definitely has more high profile names. I hope they can get Fernando Monteil on board again but he's been wanting out of GBP so I don't know. Can't wait for this one I really can't.

I really think these World Cup Of Boxing events should be yearly or like the olympics every 4 years, it will be great for our sport. and a World Cup title could maybe eradicate these abc titles. I really hope there is one title worth honor, the p4p title is the only thing left but this is just rankings, never any certain with everyones p4p list. A World Cup title would be nice under a fighters waist, they could have tournaments or something. it just sounds great hope and i'm sure we will get hungry fighters coming in, not these money greedy champions always worried about their purse. With hungry fighters will for sure get a heck of a fight, but these fed champs they take too little risk

Yes it did, I'll see if I can dig up the article for 'ya.

Good points and I agree on holding this something like once a year or something would be cool.

No way are they doing this

How the hell are you going to have it in the Philippines? How is that neutral. Northern California has a very sizable Filipino population, probably more so then any other Asian group. I don't know who that guy is but if he prevents those fights from coming to Sacramento...he'll be my most hated man in boxing.

The card has some great match-ups! Really looking forward to DeLeon/ Bautista.

[:::PSL:::]

Any word of Z Gorres if he's fighting or not?

[No Contest]

He had to withdraw from the card he injured himself. I think it was his eye...not sure tho. Diosdado Gabi is replacing him I think.
