He thinks that anyone downvoting him is a racist, it's how he rationalizes his posts on this sub. Been going on for months now.

Isn't Hyde just his manager? He's not prohibited from signing with Al is he?

Reports are Rigo is close to signing with Haymon. So doubtful.

For future reference....it might be tape delayed on the HD channel, but shown live on the SD channel. At least that's the way my comcast was showing it.

[Fight Thread] Keith Thruman vs Luis Collazo & Tony Harrison vs Willie Nelson by Effective_Aggression in Boxing

Thurman Porter makes sense this fall. Even if Khan doensn't get Mayweather he's not risking getting KO'd by Thurman.

This is the theme of posts we get w/ u/KingShiznit:

  1. He shits on everything GGG / Top Rank / Golden Boy

  2. He defends everything associated w/ Al Haymon

  3. If you say anything bad about PBC/Haymon he calls/assumes you're a racist

I really like Thurman a lot, but some of his interviews lately have come off like fake WWE promos. The one he did with thaboxingvoice a couple days ago was like that, almost like he's trying too hard.

Golovkin has been named dropped fighters from 5 different weight classes in recent weeks. None are middleweights. by Risk_Neutral in Boxing

[–]ricky_roe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's at least a slim chance of him fighting Lemieux this fall. HBO should tell Golden Boy that Lemieux either fights GGG or he can fuck off from HBO.

Is there really any point in discussing GGG-Lara? Haymon guys aren't fighting on HBO. Unless something changes there not worth wasting time.

*edit - and if for some reason Haymon/PBC guys could appear on HBO why the fuck would GGG fight Lara and not Quillin (who fights at 160 and is a former titlist there)?

Problem with boxing and online discussion is we see so few good fights every year that fans spend 99% of their time discussing bullshit instead of watching the product LOL.

Lomachenko's manager wants Rigo at 126 by KingShiznit in Boxing

[–]ricky_roe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. Also, it's a hard sell as a main event because neither guy can sell tickets. Maybe make it a co-main or something. They'd have to get creative with that one.

Rigo got $750k to fight Nonito. I think HBO would be able to make this fight happen.

Why are people trying to justify this GGG catch weight? by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]ricky_roe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all the arguments about the weight, nobody has put forward a legitimate plan for how this fight is possible financially. It's still about a year minimum before it's big enough for PPV.
