Are boxers two faced or is this sh*t just pure hype?

    Chavez jr and Alvarez for example, I honestly thought there was a real rivalry and hatred between these two. Alvarez has said in the past Jr is only living off of his fathers name, ect and then on Halloween, Chavez was posting a picture of him pretending to punch someone while wearing a red wig captioned "Saul Alvarez punching Archie Solis" :lol::lol:

    Then a few days ago, they were at a WBC convention in Las Vegas, talking, saying nice things about eachother, smiling and taking photos together like two friends who hadn't seen eachother in a long time.

    no hype between Barrera vs Morales, Ali vs Frazier.

    Definate hype between Haye and Harrison , if you hear them on twatter it sounds like they want to wax each other off.

    A recent one where they clearly disliked was groves vs degale, awesome fight + outcome.

    Its just peoples ways of feeling justified in supporting an event

    Lakers v Celtics: A CONTINUED RIVALRY

    Floyd v Pacquiao: Battle of the ages

    People like to dress all these things up for more ratings and add suspense

    Mostly hype. Tyson spent most of the build-up to the Lewis fight biting Lennox's leg and threatening to eat his children, etc but they've been friends since they were teenagers. He even kissed Lewis' mother after the fight.

    Eubank-Watson and Eubank-Benn are a couple that had real bad blood though.
