pretty funny that canelo always gives it the big what for saying he'll fight golovkin and stuff and then defends his middleweight title against a welterweight

Fwiw, we already saw a similar fight when Canelo beat down Josesito Lopez except Khan's at least way more skilled which will probably give Canelo issues for a few rounds. But i do agree with pretty much the universe that there's no way a fragile Khan survives against someone who will outweigh him 20 pounds on fight night. And again, for this Canelo fight it was either some name welterweight like Khan or Bradley (had he not got the Manny fight) moving up or loving Gabriel Rosado or Willie Monroe and id much rather have the former.

Khans got some time to bulk up and he's been out of the ring for a year. I've heard he doesn't exactly stay at his fighting weight when he's not prepping for a fight. It will still go pretty badly IMO. Even barring the weight thing, Canelo is just a really great boxer and khan is... not. Particularly Canelo is just a really accurate puncher which makes him seem more powerful and khan hasn't got great ring iq which makes his chin seem worse. It's a bad match up for khan. E: I'm hype for this fight but I would take a rosado fight at 160 much more seriously. It would show Canelo was serious about being a middle weight at least.

Meanwhile golovkin is set to face prospect Dominic Wade. The only real story to this is that Wade is a Haymon fighter. Khan confirms that he's also still with Haymon so this means two fights have just been confirmed that cross the Haymon-HBO divide. This could be a good sign of things to come, the biggest being some type of Kovalev/Stevenson thing.

Somewhat related to this Thurman-Porter is actually going to be branded as "Showtime Boxing on CBS" and not PBC. The company which provided the investment to get the PBC going (Waddell & Reed, a financial management firm) is doing terribly and there are indications that Haymon has burned through a ton of cash-and the ratings have only gone down-so it stands to reason that he's going to go to whoever has the money and even with a reduced budget from 10-20 years ago that's still HBO. http://www.kansascity.com/news/business/personal-finance/article57890703.html

It's not surprising. PBC was promoted badly, and unfortunately all the best fighters are still with HBO. Overpaying Peter Quillin or Danny Garcia doesn't make them captivating or marketable stars. Fights like Broner-Porter are good but they don't move the needle for the fans. There's virtually no advertising and at no point in the telecast do they give people any reason to care about their matches. The real problem is that all of Al's "stars" are guys still trying to prove themselves to the public, he doesn't have a fighter like Tim Bradley that has already done it. These guys need a big breakout fight that they can win, but Haymon doesn't have any premier guys for them to fight. Mayweather is retired and he thrashed Haymon's stable. I think that's why Khan is doing this PPV honestly. He needs a PPV opponent if he ever expects to get accolades for being an "elite" fighter, he needs his De La Hoya or Pacquiao to get to the point where people take him seriously as a PPV opponent. Canelo is beatable, I don't think he will lose to Khan but it could end up being close, especially if Khan can put on some muscle. Plus this seems like it should open itself up to other Khan matchups. Win or lose, if he puts on a good show suddenly a Khan-Bradley PPV looks a lot more appealing (especially if Bradley can cleanly beat Pacquiao in April). Or gently caress, if Pacquiao wins and decides to fight on, Khan makes for a stay-busy fight while he sets up for Mayweather or Canelo or whoever.

Richard Dwyer is picking Khan to beat Canelo, reasoning that if Khan fights like he did in the first 6 rounds of Maidana, a plodding Canelo will have difficulty getting to him. I think Dwyer may have forgotten how the last 6 rounds of the Maidana fight went, but it's an interesting take that suggests Canelo-Khan may be more than a simple blow-out.

It's some sort of war between two Irish gangs. Macklin's Gym Marbella (MGM) who were putting on the show is the front for one of them. There have been loads of shootings and murders, it's proper Hollywood poo poo. Dunno why Macklin has got himself involved with it all, he always seemed like he had more sense than your average boxer. e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O5rDDvVJwU quote:He had Superman undies on why run Lionel Richie fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Feb 5, 2016 |

I think we're going to see Golovkin move up sooner than later, to be honest. Canelo's dicking around with welterweights, if I was GGG's team I'd be thinking "this guy really has no plans of fighting us at 160" and begin to look elsewhere. If they can't make Canelo-Golovkin by the end of this year, I think he'll vacate the division shortly after.

The more important thing revealed by #khanelo is that Haymon is willing to book fights outside of PBC. So does this mean Stevenson vs. Kovalev could actually happen soon? I don't actually think Ward will ever get in the ring with Kovalev, but Stevenson might.

I don't actually think Ward will ever get in the ring with Kovalev, but Stevenson might. Apparently a Ward/Kovalev deal is fairly secure but Kovalev/Stevenson is experiencing a lot of trouble. Ostensibly, they both are willing to fight but have different demands. Stevenson's team was offered a 50/50 split on a HBO PPV but countered by demanding that Showtime somehow has to be part of the deal. HBO doesn't want Showtime to have any part of it and Stevenson seems pretty adamant on not taking the offered deal. Unofficially, it doesn't seem Stevenson is too keen on it. Just once though I'd like the person in this situation to get called on their bluff. Like I get that Stevenson is making things difficult but it would be nice to see Kovalev's team just go for it, konk him and build hype for Ward.

At this point the best thing Kovalev can do is just pretend that Stevenson doesn't even exist. Virtually Every time they engage him-the purse bid fiasco, the kid with the monkey t-shirt tweet- Main Events and Kovalev come out worse for wear. Just hope to win his homecoming/tune-up fight scheduled for June, Ward can look good against Sullivan Barrera on 3/26 (and that his ego doesn't re-inflate because like Khalil Mack carries his belt to the ring) and enjoy a 50-50 against one of the top 5 pound for pound while Stevenson has to fight like Andre Dirrell on Bounce TV. Edit- RE: Ward-Barrera; interestingly enough Barrera is w/ Abel Sanchez at The Summit with Golovkin so it could be some weird transitive Golovkin-Ward thing with that fight too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZZ2GrBRNxY The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Feb 12, 2016 |

The idea that Showtime should be co-promoting Kovalev-Stevenson with HBO is a deal-killer. Stevenson isn't Mike Tyson and he sure as hell isn't Floyd Mayweather, there's nothing HBO would gain from a co-promotion. Once again makes it look like Stevenson wants to promote himself on the back of Kovalev without actually fighting him. He says he doesn't have a network deal but if that was the case he wouldn't be throwing in Showtime into the mix. I really don't understand this guy's deal. He's had fight after fight fall apart.

https://twitter.com/Tyson_Fury/status/698568560004702212 Fury announcing a big fight, you won't believe who. Most likely Fury just blowing smoke up everybody's rear end but there's this wild, no-substance rumour that it's a Vitali Klitschko fight which is amusing enough that I'm entertaining the idea.

My guesses for a "big news" fight would be Wilder and then Haye in that order. Wilder has a mandatory for Povetkin though and it's sorta hard to imagine he would just skip that one, and I think Haye's too big of a bitch to fight Fury straight away, without at least another tune-up. Fury recently got done talking some poo poo about Joshua going after Charles Martin, so maybe it's for Joshua? Can't really think of anyone outside of the obvious Klitschko.

Wilder would rather not fight Povetkin and it's not a stretch to think that they feel Fury makes more sense business and boxing wise. Meanwhile rumour has it that Eddie Hearn's exclusive Sky tv deal includes a certain number of PPV dates and Khan has royally hosed him over by fighting Canelo instead of Brook so why not make a huge money fight with Joshua. But it all sounds like bullshit to me; Wlad put a rematch in the contract and that's what it's likely to be unless someone pays him some money. It's either him attention seeking or it's something to do with Hughie Fury.
