    Unfortunately these two are mostly technical. Rigo cares about boxing the craft not pleasing the crowd. Loma dances too much in the ring. Two of my favorite fighters but they are fighters for purists. Sadly, Conor vs Floyd was far more interesting to the public.

    ESPN won't help boxing much. ESPN is a dying network losing customers like crazy.

    I blame PPV, promotors and the ABC belts more than anything.

    The UFC is selling their drugs better than anybody. Champions don't stay champs long because they WILL fight each other and rematches happen.

    Also have to incorporate damage control should the house fighter lose or not look good.

    I've been trying to hype it up on Facebook. Well, not really, just been posting a lot of the videos and people know I'm excited because I don't use facebook to talk ****. Unfortunately, I don't use it much and my close mates are not boxing diehards. Best mate hasn't even seen Lomachenko before. He is in for a treat this weekend.

    Funny thing is Conor McGregor has done more to promote this fight than anyone else.

    What do you expect when the biggest fights the sport has to offer always fail?

    Floyd-Pac was a dud, plain and simple. Boxing heads fell asleep during it, I actually have pictures of people sleeping around me by the 8th round.

    GGG-Canelo was a tragedy. When 118-110 was announced in favor of Canelo I had eyes bulging out of heads from all my boxing friends. I even had a drunk lesbian couple (who prob never saw a fight before) asking how it was possible that fight was a draw.

    Coverage or no coverage. It's still going down one way or the other.
