Oscar screws up boxing up again !!!

i kind of agree with this, but its how boxing works big money make big fights.

until all the titles are united its unfair to blame boxers for adiminstration problems

 

PAC will still be able to make some really good fights and actually REALLY challenge himself....Guys like GUzzy or Valero are interesting fights but I don't think they are going to be challenges on the level of JMM...or what Floyd or Ricky can present to PAC.

 

I personally want to see Manny fight Hatton, and then get PBF to come down to 140. In the meantime let Marquez go for Diaz, or Campbell, or both. Then come back down and unify 135 by taking on Marquez for a third time. Get all the belts in the hands of the Ring Mag Champ at the division, and settle the Marquez issues before he retires.

 

i just wanna say that no fight in recent times has helped boxing as much as Pac vs Oscar.

Alot of casual fans showed up for that fight. I heard comments like "this guy fights for the poor people of the entire world" and "this guy is the new arturo gatti in terms of excitement."

 

its the truth man it brought a spotlight on boxing like no fight without Oscar can, and it delivered 100 times over, unlike Oscar's last PPV fight.

 

Why is everyone under the strange impression that boxing needs help?

 

Pac has less than 2 years in the sport and doesn't need to waste his time with these contenders.

I have no friggin clue why anyone would want those match-ups over Pac-Hatton and Pac-Mayweather. I'm not saying they're bad fights... they're in fact good fights... but the latter two are bona fide superfights. The last one in particular has the makings to become fight of the decade. The former p4p #1 against the curren p4p king? I'd rather see that.

 

they aren't.

 

Oscar has given the american mainstream public 3 mainstream superstars in the sport in the past 2 years. "The World Awaits" made everyone, who wasn't already, familiar with Floyd Mayweather Jr. The fight might have sucked but the 24/7 series and the promotion was great. That fame that Floyd gained from his fight with Oscar led to the Mayweather / Hatton fight, with the same blue print for promotion the world came to know Ricky Hatton. Say what you want about Hattons marketability prior to this fight but it can't be disputed that he became much more known and marketable in the US at least due to the Golden Boy promotion, Floyd also. Then recently Oscar turned Manny Pac into a true international star. Same with Hatton and Floyd, in the boxing world and to many casual fans Pac was already a star but this fight beefed up his marketability and introduced him to any fans out there who didn't already know him.

Now everyone bitches about Boxing falling off the grid in America and how there is minimal coverage on it. But you are saying here that Oscar "****ed up boxing" by bringing the worlds best boxer onto the biggest stage in the world, introducing him to audiences that would otherwise not know anything about him. And it worked out perfect because Manny performed amazingly in the fight. Now Boxing has 3 REAL superstars who can all possibly fight eachother in HUGE fights next year that will keep the general public interested in the sport.

Come on Freddy, look at the big picture. Oscar has damaged his legacy but his two losses to Floyd and Pac did wonders for the sport of boxing.

 

Because of Oscars fights with Floyd and Pac, now a fight between Floyd/Pac/Hatton can bring the spotlight to boxing without Oscar having to be in the ring.

These guys will have Manny Pac fighting ****ing Soto on Friday Night fights to an audience of a few thousand and claim that is "helping the sport", but a huge fight in Vegas that gets all major sports media to cover it and gets all sports fans thinking about it, generating huge PPV numbers and showcasing the best P4P fighters skills to the entire sports public is "bad for boxing" :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

How is the current p4p#1 fighting the last p4p#1 (who lost his ranking out of retirement, not defeat) not interesting? This is the only path for both Pac and Mayweather now. One of them will be shown up as a pretender to the throne. They are both in prime, both fast as hell, and both have something to prove.
