Khan vs Algieri draws 1 million viewers for Spike TV and PBC

I think Kell would do a number on him. We'll find out eventually.

 

Lost clearly? He lost every round on 2 of the judges cards and was put down 3 times. Some "serious challenge"

Garcia's last fight was over a year ago? And here's little old me thinking he fought Lamont Peterson less than 2 months ago Garcia has fought 3 times in the last 15 months

So after you accuse me of making ridiculous, baseless statements because the Khan fight was only announced 6 (you said 4, you were wrong) before the event and I pointed out that Garcia-Salka was announced 5 weeks before the event you change your tack and say that the undercard was better? Please, tell me about how Lamont-Santana and Jacobs-Fletcher are better fights than Fortuna-Vasquez?

 

Like I've said I don't know how many times by now... I'm not calling for either fight. I'm just helping you understand why Garcia would do better PPV numbers than Khan.

 

Please provide some detailed ****ysis on how Garcia-Salka was better promoted than Khan-Algieri

 

Wrong, he lost 0 times in the last 15 months.

 

You're just missing the boat, here. Floyd would "get a lot of heat" if he signed to fight Oscar next, doesn't mean it wouldn't do a gazillion buys

I'm not talking about the likelihood or quality of either matchup. I'm strictly talking numbers and Garcia would outsell Khan in the US. If Floyd could get a chunk of British TV revenue he could make that up in a Khan fight. But the initial point was which fight would sell more US PPVs and the answer is Garcia.

 

Whatchu talkin bout, Willis? I didn't say DSG lost, I said Collazo lost every round vs Khan on 2 judges cards.

 

He said DSG hadn't fought in over a year. I pointed out he fought less than 2 months ago and has fought 3 times in the last 15 months.

 

Welp

 

Instead of making up things you wish I said let's look at what I actually said...

"Garcia may not have had any fights at 147, but he's still technically had more bouts contested at WW than Hatton had before he fought Floyd. And unlike Hatton, Garcia's last 2 fights leading up to a Floyd fight would technically have been WW contests while Hatton's were both JWW fights. JMM's obviously a different case because he's a legend and an ATG but he had still never fought above 135 when he fought Floyd."

"I'm not arguing in the slightest about which fight is more likely to happen or who deserves the fight more based on his WW track record."

Never did I say Garcia was an established WW, I simply pointed out he had more fights above 140 than Hatton did when he fought Floyd. Never did I say Garcia would be a bigger fight than JMM, I just pointed him out because you said Floyd would never fight an opponent who was not established in the division. I even took care to emphasize that you couldn't compare the two due to JMM's status...

I also acknowledged that Garcia hasn't looked good in 2 of his last 3 fights.

And your take on the Collazo fight is just too funny. Have we ever seen khan hurt more times or needing to hold on more than when he beat Collazo 12-0 and knocked him down 3 times? Yes, we have, Willie f*cking Limond had him in more trouble than Collazo. I'd venture to say his fight with one Danny Garcia was another example... you're too much, man.

 

You're too much. Ya that Garcia-Salka fight was marketed to high heaven

And so what if the Khan fight elevated Danny? Barrera was 10 times the draw Manny was when they fought, doesn't mean much now. You know what's a very good way to earn a lot of fans in boxing? Beating someone who's a bigger star than you when you're a massive underdog. You are a loon. Garcia is the bigger star in the US by a country mile.
