    The second one is a comeback card.

    easy to understand why HBO parted ways with Al Haymon , :hi:
    how many "comeback" fights is Broner going to need? Both of those cards are horrible

    They're non PPV and theres multiple current/former world champs on the card.

    Im not sure what the issue is.

    Dont like, dont watch.

    Also Broner is fighting a guy who just had a solid victory over Karim Mayfield and who had a competitive fight with Manny pacquiaos next PPV opponent.

    Matthyse is fighting a guy in a non-title fight who is undefeated.

    Berto is making a comeback after a career threatening injury, so who would you expect him to fight?

    The dude Matthysse is fighting is undefeated , It seems he can punch as well 24 knockouts in his 31 wins .

    Yet I honestly don't know how good Ortiz is , because ive never heard of him .

    On the card that Salka headlines, Fletcher vs Danny Jacobs is the opener and should be a good fight. Otherwise crap but the opener might be good.

    On the Broner card Emmanuel Taylor just beat Mayfield, was beat by Algieri. I think he might beat Broner. Algieri is a lot better than Broner. Matty fighting an undefeated guy stepping up in class, its not a bad fight. I will probably actually drive down to Cincy for it.

    SHOWTIME has been bringing the best events in the sport lately and it's not even close compared to HBO.

    HBO PPV cards are trash.

    Look at the Many - Braddley 2 undercard, than compare it to Mayweather - Maidana. I pay 70$ to watch these, get me 5 fight with well known contenter.

    Showtime always had better PPV and regular cards than HBO.

    :lol: GTFO. Kovalev is fighting nobodies. Brandon Rios has only won 1 fight in 2 years and that was a damn robbery.
    And Pacquiao is fighting Algieri on PPV.

    Not every fight has to be though nor a big fight but don’t tell me that one channel is all about the quality.

    are you referring to the 26th rated middleweight fighting the 17th rated middleweight for the "WBA Title"

    Dmitry Chudinov is the reigning WBA "interim" middleweight title and fighting Mehdi Bouadla next


    of course it would be asking too much for them to fight each other with the winner to fight the super duper "WBA middleweight CHAMPION" GGG

    :rofl


    WBA YOU ARE A FUC.KING JOKE :patsch
