    This would be the same fight where he got a career threatening shoulder injury in the 2nd round right?

    I mean being WBC champ, and defending it.

    And he "got his ass kicked" by Soto Karrass when he had a severe shoulder injury for nearly the entire fight.

    Also he was completely exonerated of PED use

    I also forgot to mention the gift decision berto got against Collazo.berto was a hypejob a guy who will get beat every time he steps up.berto should retire he cant cut it at the elite level so he should save those brain cells if he has any.:deal

    then enjoy your garcia vs sakla matchups guys getting paid big money for tune ups.I don't care how much a boxer makes as long as they are fighting other top quality opponents.mismatches on the other hand are a big problem whats the incentive to make the best fights when boxers can take on a much easier opponent for just as much or more money?

    if you get 1 mil for fighting a bum instead of fighter who actually has a chance to beat you these guys would go for the easy fight.that's what we are seeing right now with these back to back tune up fights peterson garcia matthssye and broner should be fighting each other right now.

    True boxing people?, who?, a bunch of clueless idiots like you?

    Broner was managed by Haymon from the start. He literally had enough time to manage him into the famous star he has become. Add to that Broner's vocal personality and the result is obvious. Matthysse has only recently joined Haymon's club, so it's only normal to expect lesser payments in return. Ask yourself this question, do you think you would know Matthysse and discuss him if it wasn't for Haymon's management?. Now ask yourself another question, who is clearly more popular?, Broner or Matthysse?
