Nobody cares about these boxers. They should find another profession to make a living. Why get punched in the face and catch brain damage if you have no chance of becoming world champion and making million of dollars?
I care about Iglesias and Collins is always great to watch. The heavyweights just need to fight each other
Why spend all your time hating on the internet and catch brain damage if you're not going to become a YouTuber and make millions of dollars
I intend to watch that fight, both are European level and undefeated, but somehow I favor Zakhozhyi because I think that Shala does not have enough power to seriously oppose such a tall and massive fighter who regularly spars with Usyk and certainly has good boxing knowledge...
Huck is making bank every time he fights. He makes in 1 fight what the average German makes in 2 or 3 years. And I am taking into consideration that Huck´s star has fallen quite a bit over the last 3 or 4 years. He will easily make more than 40k euros in this upcoming fight. For these guys, this is what they love and know best. And it pays. Why work a 9-5 when you can make a years salary in two fights? Butler probably gets 5 digits every time he fights. Granit Shala is fighting for the EBU title. If he wins he will likely earn a years salary in his next fight. Lewis van Poetsch, who isn´t named in this thread; he had a record of 14-152. He was a professional looser who put up a fight. For him, boxing was a gig. He made extra money on the weekends, that´s it. In the year 2019, he fought 22 times. He made about 1000£ per fight, which is around 22k for that year. Poetsch had 152 losses. That is a lot of money in the bank. And best of all, he walked away without any noticeable brain injuries or any real issues.
Have you watched the prospects named in the OP then? So much stupidness in your post it's hard to know where to start
I haven't seen the Oleksandr guy but Shala looked pretty good. No pop but he could move and had pretty good timing.
Well, he actually isn´t. It´s his first fight in nearly 4 years. Now you might be shocked that Anselmo Moreno is still fighting and active. Skipped 2018 and 2020 but otherwise he has been somewhat active. Every guy that beat Moreno has since retired. How crazy is it that Moreno is still going?
