UKTexans Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 22 minutes ago, J-ALL-DAY said: If Haye is healthy then maybe. But what is the probability of that? Joseph Parker's camp just turned down a fight with Wilder saying not enough money. Interesting. There are rumors he fights Lucas Browne next but if Joshua can't get him, he may get Big Baby Miller. And that could be his stateside debut. Joshua's fight vs Takam didn't do good numbers on SHO so Hearn may want to get him a fight here to build more hype for the Wilder show down. Put Wilder vs Breazeale or someone a week before or after. Is Miller any kind of a draw though? He could legit lose his next fight against Wach. Browne really? I guess it would be interesting for a very small part of the world, Oceania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I guess it would be a big fight in the New Zealand/Australia area. Miller isn't a draw, but I believe he just signed with Eddie Hearn. So it will be an easy fight to make and it would get Joshua in front of a USA crowd. Hearn is betting on Joshua selling out wherever he fights, more so than the opponent itself. I think if they put that fight at the Barclays or even Vegas, it is a sellout or close to one. The Brits travel as well as any fan base and look at what Frampton has been doing in the NY area. His fight with LSC did over 10k, and Joshua is on another level than Frampton.

UKTexans Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I know it's about more than the attendance but fights under 20k seem so small now with sellouts at Wembley and Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Oh yeah, you guys are a bit spoiled across the pond. But the gate numbers for a fight in the States for say 15k, competes for what is made in Wembley. Well, a Vegas sell out does. That's going to be the big debate in deciding to where to hold the fight. In a 90k stadium or in a 18k arena at the T-mobile? If it isn't going to be PPV in the states, then it is a no-brainer Wembley fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 So looks like they will fight once more in probably Feb or March, and then face off in the summer. Sounds good with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 One of them fighting Parker would be ideal as it will lead to the first undisputed HW champion since I think Lennox Lewis. If they get one interim fight, I'm thinking maybe it will be Joshua vs Pulev/Miller and Wilder vs Breazeale/Whyte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 About to head out to the TR card. Don't really care for the main event, but excited to see Beterbiev in person. Actually hope it goes some rounds so we could see his gas tank. But as often times with him, it usually doesn't go past three or four.

Thelonebillsfan Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Man I don't even wanna imagine how far the LHW division is gonna fall without Ward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pats#1 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 The fight between the commentators is better than the boxing one itself lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 The Beterbiev fight was a snoozer but his opponent came to just survive. But big statement by Ramirez. It was a packed house at Save Mart and soon this guy may even get a stadium fight in Fresno. Didn't catch the HBO card, how did Jacobs look?

UKTexans Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Rumours Canelo is ducking GGG..... again. Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo’s Golden Boy promoter, is dropping heavy hints that they may turn instead to either the winner of Billy Joe Saunders’ WBO world middleweight title defence against David Lemieux in Canada next month or Daniel Jacobs, who has already lost to Triple G.

J-ALL-DAY Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm fine with that. Was a really good fight, not a GREAT one where I'm dying for a rematch. If they both take one interim fight in between and face off in September then that's fine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Did anyone read the article on Haymon/UFC Boxing potentially teaming up in 2018? Interesting, very interesting. http://www.fightopinion.com/2017/11/14/zuffa-boxing-bailout-ufc-al-haymon/ I wonder how exactly this would work. Would Dana only promote the Haymon cards that are on FOX or FS1? Because Haymon has most of his guys fighting on SHO, and I don't think that's stopping anytime soon.

RaiderX Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yikes. Sosa might have gotten robbed. Gambia gets dropped and deducted a point and still wins s majority decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
