canelo is already on the back foot so may be gassing already. dunno if angulo's chin and eyebrow will hold up though

i just don't understand how angulo is loving standing. it does not make any medical sense.

canelo isn't really a banger. matt hatton is poo poo and a welterweight and went 12 with him

nah he's managed to turn himself into the harlem globetrotters of boxing and we're supposed to just accept whatever poo poo opponent he dishes up and marvel at a pull counter on some B level fighter. not bad to say he was half the reason the biggest fight ever didn't happen.

showtime hosed up by giving him free reign of opponents with the 6 fight deal, ensuring he doesn't have to fight anyone with a chance of winning. this fight and card is beyond poo poo. hopefully nobody buys it and people start moving him down their p4p rankings soon.

crolla vs murray tonight. might be vaguely interesting.

my favourite thing about crolla is when he was on some card with an american commentator and the commentator kept saying his name like 'corolla.' million dollar.. corolla.

bit weird that khan is getting the same as maidana. i'm guessing maidana is on a percentage of the gate and ppv tho maybe?

apparently showtime needs a million buys to make a profit or something? i dunno how true that is, i read it on a forum today.

i dunno what the contract is like but it would be awesome if there was some way for showtime to put pressure on floyd to fight someone who was actually a threat.

Bubba Smith posted:

The Guerrero fight had no hype either and still did over 1 million buys. If that card did that, Maidana vs Mayweather should do 1 mil+ no problem

guerrero is mexican though

how are ppv numbers so low in america? ppvs get similar numbers in the uk iirc and america's population is way more. i suppose it is double the price but still

edit: also at the weigh in khan looked very top heavy. i am picking collazo in the 8th or so because he punches at the same time and khan's always been weak to that.
