    Are you talking about MMA or boxing? Applies to both to be fair.

    The difference is you can lose a few fights on the way up and still make it to the top of ufc/mma, rare in boxing

    Can you imagine a boxing card as stacked as that UFC one? I can’t

    A bit? The biggest fights of the last few years were years past the best time to make them.

    Manny/Floyd comes to mind.

    Top Rank are stuck in the 90’s.

    Best outfit in Boxing, but that’s not saying much.

    And what else did he do? What else did other promoters do around the same time?

    Crawford/Spence is a massive fight right now. For their profiles, it won’t get bigger than now.

    A commercial point, maybe. But they could have had a trilogy by then and tripled that money. That fight was over cooked from any other perspective. Years overcooked.

    Nope!

    Look at an AJ card. It’s literally nobodies in pointless fights.

    You watch an MMA card and there is uncertainty of outcome all night where boxthing these days is full of certainty all night with the odd shock such as Tony Dosh PPV v Rice Pudding Ruiz Jnr.

    Boxing is weird.

    You need 20 odd fights to get used to the pro game, then you lose twice and it’s time to retire.
