I'm hearing Uncle Al is going after Rigo too... This is huge

Anybody else want their $$ back

Carl Frampton has inked a deal with Al Haymon!

Pualie and Mosley at eachother's throats on twitter about a potential matchup but I'm confused bc they are good friends. I guess they gotta sell this nonsense somehow. Any way, both in their prime I take shane by late tko and it's a no brainer. At this stage, I take Malignaggi in 12.

Supposedly he's not gonna step away. He's filing bankruptcy then he's gonna take a 2nd shot at it with "better people on his team." Also he and Floyd are cool again as of the pass couple months.

Freddie Roach interview: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=AZOsuUKCO7U If you pay attention to how he answers the questions in the beginning then you'll see what I was saying about how he puts the opponents at disadvantages any way possible. Another take from the vid is the thought of potential 140 matchups for Manny. Not sure how a Pacquiao-Matthysse bout plays out but I'd give the edge to Manny. But there is no doubt in my mind that Crawford gives Manny the most embarrassing 12round decision of his career. Crawford's skillset would give Manny absolute hell @140. Also couldn't help but laugh at how Freddie chose to answer the question about the mysterious shoulder injury. Claims all reporters knew about just that nobody chose to report it. Lmao gotta love Freddie.

Pretty exciting... Anxious to see how this plays out http://itrboxing.com/2015/05/21/sadam-ali-faces-bradley-vargas-winner-for-wbo-title/

PBC has taken over ESPNs Friday Night Fights. I touched on this a while back.

In Thurman's defense, I'm hearing he's set to comeback for a big fight in the fall. No opponent named yet but I do know the fight will be "big" But irregardless to that, I must go on record to say this Thurman-Collazo match up is complete bull****. Basically Canelo-Kirkland or 3G-Monroe all over again. I'm going to put this one right up there with Khan-Algieri, this fight is horse ****.

Exactly. He's now releasing public statements "trying to set the record straight" etc... He's only making matters worse. Arum is a successful attorney. He knows what to say & how to say it. But one of the main questions I had is about this "precautionary shot" that was denied pre fight. The NSAC said they weren't totally against a numbing agent (as they're fully aware fighters are rarely going into a fight at 100%) but they were against the numbing agent Manny and his team insisted on. They made other suggestions, but Manny only wanted the Toradol injection. That to me is VERY suspicious. If you know what and how Toradol is used then they have every right to deny it. If u listen after 1 min, Paulie touches on it here: https://youtu.be/FNVsOYuaZSE

Lol

wow smh GGG has bombs at the end of his wrists no doubt but this is the 2nd fight in a row that his defense got exposed by a boxer with no power to really do any real damage to him.

Monroe is putting up a much better fight than many expected. Not bad for a 40-1 underdog lol

The rematch will sell regardless. The first fight turned A LOT of people off bc Floyd made it look easy and now he looks unbeatable. So many ppl will decline a 2nd fight bc they feel the outcome is pretty obvious. Now if Floyd was to somehow take an L, then he doesn't look so invincible thus (in the minds of the casuals & the like) giving Manny a chance to actually avenge the outcome of the 1st fight. People will suddenly become interested again in the rematch bc as of right now, most aren't. If I had to go by solely what I'm seeing/hearing from the general pub, a rematch does 1.8ish If Floyd were to some how lose before the rematch I think u can push that to AT LEAST 2.5 Also great point about Floyd doing an immediate rematch if he were to lose. You could be right but I honestly think all that would do us push the fight back to Sept.

My bad for not being clear. I didn't mean it will sell more than this one. I meant the rematch will sell more if Floyd were to lose in Sept as opposed to being undefeated heading into the rematch.

Despite the fact that Floyd will continue to deny this to the public, I'm hearing that both sides have started initial talks for a rematch. It will happen even if Floyd loses in Sept... Simply for the financial gains the bout will bring. The fight will happen in the MGM's new arena which is currently in the middle stages of construction but set to open early 2016. This will be the 1st fight in the new arena. The fight will sell big just bc of the story lines associated with it. It would sell even more if Floyd were to lose his nxt bout. He's money hungry but not that money hungry lol. Manny is rumored to be looking at 3-4 month "recovery" time and a 2-3 month training window which could put him on target for a late December/early Jan tune up then the rematch in May. Look for Manny to lose another lopsided decision to Floyd then both fighters subsequently hang up the gloves after this last big pay day. Then it's on to the new era of boxing. So which fighter(s) take over next year as the next big ppv star(s) of the sport??

MAYWEATHER vs. PACQUIAO EVENT SHATTERS RECORDS FOR PPV BUYS, PPV REVENUE, LIVE GATE AND MORE Generates Combined Total Revenues In Excess of $500 Million NEW YORK (May 12, 2015) -The boxing blockbuster event, Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, shattered the previous record for total pay-per-view buys and now ranks as the highest-grossing pay-per-view of all time. Initial reports from distributors indicate that the event generated more than 4.4 million U.S. buys and more than $400 million in domestic pay-per-view revenue alone. With additional revenue from the live gate at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, international television distribution, sponsorships, closed circuit and merchandise sales, the event is expected to generate in excess of $500 million in gross worldwide receipts. The news was announced jointly by Showtime Networks Inc., a subsidiary of CBS Corporation, and HBO in conjunction with event promoters Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank, Inc. The welterweight world championship unification bout nearly doubled the previous record of 2.48 million buys generated by the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing event in 2007 and nearly tripled the record $150 million in U.S. pay-per-view revenue generated by Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez in 2013. Live gate receipts for the star-studded event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena produced more than $71 million in revenue, dramatically eclipsing the previous live gate record of $20 million (for Mayweather vs. Canelo) for both the sport of boxing and Las Vegas. Additionally, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao set the record for closed circuit admissions and revenue both in Las Vegas and at establishments nationwide. The event sold nearly 46,000 closed circuit admissions at MGM Resorts International properties in Las Vegas alone and was available at more than 5,000 bars, restaurants and commercial establishments throughout the U.S. Distributed in 175 countries worldwide, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was available in essentially 75 percent of the world's territories, setting the revenue record for international distribution. As reported last week, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao drew enormous numbers on social media. For example, Facebook reported that 37 million unique people contributed more than 115 million interactions from the start of the event to 30 minutes following its completion, a new record for a boxing event. The May 2 promotion included unprecedented marketing and cross-promotional support from distributors as well as record revenue from the event's major sponsors. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was a 12-round welterweight world championship unification bout promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., and co-produced and co-distributed by HBO PPV® and SHOWTIME PPV®. # # # So with these numbers Floyd is likely to make closer to $300M and Manny about $175M, both are career high pay days. This one fight trumped Floyd's entire CBS contract. Even though a rematch would be pointless, I see it happening simply bc of these numbers. No way they even sniff these numbers a 2nd time but it's still the highest grossing fight that can currently be made. The crazy thing is Floyd has no real overhead. He's promised $50M to each of his kids bc of that. Sadly, Manny will probably see less than half of his purse, plus before the fight he promised to make a $40M donation to the Philippines. Even with that, still a career high earning by far.

Not really jumping up & down about this card. Maybe I'm getting a bit spoiled but I wouldn't be mad if I forgot to set the DVR for this one. http://www.badlefthook.com/2015/5/11/8586051/chris-arreola-alfredo-angulo-to-return-on-june-6

Very strong possibility Errol Spence is co-main. Probably against Roberto Garcia

For those who missed it

You definitely choose to see what you wanna see and spin it to fit your narrative. That's become common practice for you. This quote was in the corner after the 4th round. A round where Manny clearly won. Floyd was stun by a left hand and backed up on the ropes giving Manny his best flurry of the fight. That's why Sr said that. If u notice the 3 previous rounds, which Floyd won, Sr was praising his work in those rounds. So that quote was for THAT round, not the whole fight. Floyd said his dad felt there would be a robbery if he didn't put Manny down and repeatedly expressed that to him pre fight. That's why Sr was so animated. He didn't want the fight to be stolen away from his son. 99% of the attendance in that arena including Sr, knew they had just witnessed Floyd take Manny to boxing school. A classic, textbook, fundamentally sound, easy victory. But keep reaching tho DM. I get a nice chuckle every time.

Kirkland got $1.3M which was a career high for him. He came back for 1 last pay day and to make Canelo look good. Canelo is said to have been guaranteed a certain percentage of the total revenue which would give him somewhere between $3-4M

I would've loved this fight if Ann Wolfe were still there. She brings Kirk up to another level. Understated in the buildup but I think her absence proves detrimental tonight.

Also right before Manny is set to appear before the NSAC next week to explain the ShoulderGate scandal, one of the members of the commission steps dowm. Bill Brady, a member of the 5 person panel since 2007, sent his resignation to the governor this week.
