Lovecraft Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 8 hours ago, Shooter McGavin said: He needs to start fighting actual pro boxers… …so that he can have fights cancelled at the last minute due to failed drugs tests, or have fights fall through cause his opponent refuses to have their name 2nd on the event, or have fights fall through cause his opponent demands 70% of the purse, or have fights fall through cause his opponent refuses to walk to the ring first… …and he can go through all of that for a fraction of the money he’s making right now 😂 You missed out not getting big fights as you don't know the right drug dealers. But I guess he could get that via Tyson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diadora Van Basten Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The bit that annoys me is they announce how many punches have been landed but don’t explain that boxing is based on who won each round hence why you get guys like KSI and Jack Catterall claiming a fix and people who don’t understand the scoring backing them up.

Has there ever been a UFC Saudi card before? I know vince at WWE was one of the first to take sport/entertainment to Saudi and even tho Warren had ties to Saudis when he promoted Prince nas the first boxing show over there was khan v dib am sure a few year ago, Can’t think of a ufc event in Saudi tho? If the Saudis get involved in MMA then once Dana leaves UFC will be in trouble 100% I agree.

No never been one but one is due next year think Conor might be the main even UFC 300 maybe.There has been nobody apart from Conor been able to mega bucks really.GSP made good money and was the first selling out stadiums but not on Connors level then Rousey but again not earning on Connors level.PPVs Conor really pushed the bar up with those sales and that's where the real money is but even then it's his cross over sales from Mayweather fight and then his Whisky sale that have really made his wealth.

Americana Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 So chuffed for Aspinal, totally down to earth working class guy who never has a bad word to say about anybody. This complicates things though, next title fight should be to unify the belts, Jones has already states the only fight that motivates him is the Stipe rematch. I wouldnt be suprised if we dont see Jones back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 When I watched the Pereira v Jiri fight live, I also thought it was an early stoppage. After I watched the finish again, I was less bothered. Pereira landed in full mount with Jiri not really being prepared to defend himself. I think Goddard probably just saved him taking 5 or 6 more punches to the head from a brutal striker, in complete control. Probably for the best tbh.

Agreed and if the fighter himself was also honest enough to admit he was done then that is good refereeing. These are not little bar brawl punches getting landed. He could have been seriously hurt.

I missed his entrance just noticed he was in attendance when they cut to him after the KO. I think your right all it would be was one last payday it’s no like he’s gonna fight once or twice to keep himself in contention while aspinal will need to stay active defending a title so if the stars aligned for champ v champ and a guy who was starched in his last fight without a win for 4 years gets the nod it would be criminal. I always jump back and forth on jones or Demetrius johnson on who’s the best ever. If jones final run is gane aspinal then almedia or blaydes that’s some way to go out. I think he will choose the stipe route tho He would’ve moved up to heavyweight with Francis and stipe in mind. Canny see him wanting to miss out on both fights.

KG1874 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Bit of boxing news somehow they look to have got wilder and AJ fighting the same night, same card, only against different opponents Wilder/Parker Wallin/AJ way the winners fighting each other but I’m no convinced. AJ will be number 2 on the IBF rankings with a win against wallin and with fury/Usyk fighting in February way a rematch clause. That belt will be vacated after undisputed. That’s AJ’s golden ticket to be a 3x champ fighting hrgovic for the vacant belt I think that’s the plan rather than wilder next. Sure a mentioned it before but sunny edwards v bam 16th December don’t miss that.

It’s still 6” difference. I’m 5’7” (sadly) and wouldn’t fancy fighting someone 6’1” with a big weight advantage. I think Fury will be focused as he’s nervous as he’s never fought anyone like Usyk before. Though I still won’t rule out a convenient training camp injury before we get to the fight date.
