I'm Personally Glad Ortiz Lost

so what did you thimk about ortiz before the fight

 

You should get used to it . . . DLH was proven wrong again. How many times already did he proclaimed something that blew up on his face?

 

Yeah, why does he keep ducking Sergey???? atsch

 

Is Floyd Mayweather a liar??? Would he have fought Victor Ortiz?? Would he fight Maidana?

 

Its funny that you say that because after the Ortiz's performance I was just thinking to myself...Why the hell do fighters like Ortiz,Cotto, Berto get so much exposure and carefully matched careers? Why not market the guy that is a tough opponent and very risky to fight. Yeah and I know that numbers are everything but if you build up a fighter hell bring in the dough!

 

Golden Boy needs to get behind fewer Mexican/American pretty boys and more great boxers. Bad business model they have in place.

 

:nutGotta love these trolls

 

We should consider cutting him some slack for his post fight comments. After all, he's a 22-year-old kid who just got the stuffing beaten out of him. He reacted like someone who was in shock and therefore made statements that were detrimental to his future status as a top flight fighter.

 

Yep, that's exactly what I think ended up happening.

 

this is what i love about boxing....the guy who was supossed to be a star in the making turned out it might be the unexpected guy..marcos maidana.....its why i love boxing

 

they are less marketable because they dont get the exposure. and they dont get the exposure because they are less marketable.

 

It seems to me so much of this is modern. Ortiz fought a war and can rematch and fight another. If this was the lighter weights I don't think it would be as much of an issue. 140-147 brings a lot of cash into the picture. So much so, that a rematch or great trilogy is often highly unlikely.

 

CO-SIGN. but its like my trainer always said... boxing is not a great way to earn a living. it is a harsh, brutal way of life. you really need that passion and that mentality that you are indefinitely going to sacrifice your health and safety to do what you love and be the best. if it's what you REALLY want to do, you can ****in go for it and if you have the talent and heart you can go far in the sport. if not, don't bother.
