i like beterbiev, as a fighter and as a man. the little ive seen, mostly after the gvozdyk win, left me with the impression of a humble stand up guy. the type i would feel lucky to have as a friend. havent formed an impression about bivol yet, but he seems ok. what boxing needs is a whole new wave of promoters that understand the current media climate better. if jake paul can promote himself to millions from his basement, surely someone with access to the worlds media outlets can promote an edge of your seat kinda fighter like him. outfits like top rank have been living off past glories for a while now. but im afraid it will be arum and the roaches left when the rest of us are nothing more than dust.
Bob Arum is around 30 years out of date and out of touch. Him having Pacquaio a decade ago kept him relevant but outside of that he wasn't doing much. I really hope DAZN and the like can put on the best fights rather than putting all their eggs in one basket (ie Canelo) and just capitalising on one fan base. The Caucus fanbase is loyal, ready to pay and here to stay. It's about time these out-of-touch promoters realised that. They also need to realise that people outside of English speaking nations are ready to pay PPV or subscription money. Khabib created that blueprint and showed the world.
Some of the replies on this thread are embarrassing talking about waiting fir the Canelo fight it’s disgusting, Canelo like all the top dogs before him didn’t become too dogs by sitting and waiting.. when the Mayweather fight was up for grabs Canelo could have ducked trout to fight a bum on Floyd’s undercard but he didn’t he fought Trout who was #1, when the Cotto fight was close he didn’t duck Lara he fought him..yall co-sign these cowardly ass acts from these fighters it’s crazy
who would expect fighters, to actually want to fight. what a crazy concept. you have guys constantly talking **** bout canelo here, then out the other side of their mouth, praising plant for his bitchassness. or pulling out every reason under the sun why their man wont fight. bunch of lame ass fangirls.
Canelo won't fight Bivol while the Plant fight can still be salvaged (which it can). Canelo-Plant November 2021 Beterbiev-Bivol before December 2021
Don't know why? Great fight to make and both fight at 175 makes no sense why fans don't demand this fight.
Too many fans with too many agendas would be my guess. Some fans have even outted themselves in this thread as the reason why they don't want to see it. Pathetic really.
it meant they werent hypocrite fangirls. and this post has as much to do with the subject, as yours did.
Because it shows how they have double standards they do it for other fighters but don't do it with others.
