Crawford is fighting next weekend against Indongo, and there is a massive card at the StubHub Center on the Saturday before GGG/Canelo.

Seriously, look at this loving card:

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai vs Roman Gonzalez, super flyweights, 12 rounds; Naoya Inoue vs Antonio Nieves, super flyweights, 12 rounds; Carlos Cuadras vs Juan Francisco Estrada, super flyweights, 12 rounds.

Not finding any PPV info?

So, I like boxing, but don't know anything about it. Is there some equivalent of Fight Pass for boxing? An online library of fights? Obviously, not all of them, but a decent chunk/cross section?

Pretty much everything older than like a month will be on youtube and more recent stuff too if you poke around a little

If you're not sure what to look up just check out ring magazine fights of the year for a while, I think most of them are on youtube.

e: Well the relatively recent ones, I guess those go back to the 40s or something? Haha, oh, the 20s. Yeah you probably won't find those.

This is a good list I've been working through. Probably about 90% are on youtube in varying quality:

If you have an HBO subscription, they have a library of fights and fight documentaries. I think Showtime does, too, but I haven't really dug into its archives yet.

Sounds like he's either going to fight Rigo or Salido at the end of the year, which would be great. Hopefully he ends up fighting both. Him and Rigo are arguably the two best pound for pound boxers on the planet (as well as maybe the two best amateurs ever), and it would be nice to see Lomachenko avenge his defeat to Salido, which he easily would in a rematch.

it's kinda dumb but I'm okay with dumb

the most annoying ringwalk I've seen of late was whoever was using "all of the lights" and they just played the song's music video (which credits all the people involved with the song and the video at the beginning of it) over the arena screens

I would like to see the Salido fight but I highly doubt Salido would make it easy in negotiations since he rejected a career high payday.

Rigo is a good fight. I am not sure what the details are on the weight but I am assuming it's at 130lbs. I maybe wrong.

2017 caught a case of the 2016 boxing

Shawn Porter pulled out of his fight against Thomas Dulorme, Nicholas Walters pulled out of his fight on tomorrow's undercard, LSC vs Mares II was called off after negotiations broke down and Josh Warrington pulled out of the GGG-Canelo undercard.

All in all, this is a drop in the pond compared to the flood of great fights 2017 has otherwise been giving us.

This rumour was based on a video released by his camp where after drilling some punches with his right hand, the video ends just as it looks like he might be shaking his hand out a bit. It's bullshit.

drat shame. 27w 27ko at that weight and loving pacquiao up in sparring seems like the sky was the limit for that guy. but yeah you can't go doing poo poo like he did and expect people to still talk about you.

It's been discussed in the ESPN thread but with Rigondeaux fighting Lomachenko this may be the best year for fights we've had in a long long time. Sounds like ESPN was able to put up the big purse Rigo has been holding out for.

As it stands I think I'd have to pick Lomachenko to win, think his movement and activity will close the gap against Rigo, but with two really talented guys you never know how it'll turn out.

i thought they'd probably split the difference at 126 but we'll see. if it's at 130 loma will be tough to deny but if it's less than that then i don't know. rigo is one intelligent mother fucker.

if it's not at 130 then i could definitely see it. if he can successfully shut down loma, it'll be a career defining performance for sure, and he can make it as boring as he likes imo.
