Why is Pacquiao willing to fight Loma instead of Crawford?

I ask again...

What size advantage has Pacquiao enjoyed over his opponents?

 

crawford is bigga and stronga

 

I guess my response was too long, so I’ll make it easy for you. Are you telling me that you couldn’t do better than Al with $400M and a boatload of TV dates?

 

That literally has nothing to do with anything here. And Roidquez wasn't the same size as Pac. He was far more muscular, with a bigger upper body, arms, chest, and shoulders.

I ask again... What size advantage did Pac hold over Cotto/Algieri/Margarito?

 

Did Pacquiao beat Cotto and Margarito with his size? Yes or no?

 

With the $400M and a boatload of TV dates, I’m sure I could accomplish all 3: good fights for the fans, more money for the fighters, and more money for myself.

If you make good fights, the fans will watch. New fans will emerge, think back to the rise of Tyson as an example. Once the fans start buzzing, the advertisers will follow. Once the advertisers show up, more investors come forward. Once the networks see a profitable business model, they give up more time slots and maybe even increase the duration of the timeslot from 2 to 3+ hours.

It all starts with the fights being good. You also have to stack the card. If you’re not top of the ladder, you may fight off TV, but at least you will do so in support of a big event, hopefully in front of a lot of fans.

Haymon has done a terrible job no matter how you look at it. 30 years from now, Carlos Ortiz will still be an ATG. Meanwhile, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Adrien Broner will be as forgotten as Ike Quartey, Juan Laporte, and Maromero Páez.

 

This discussion is not about Oscar, Bob or HEARN, not Hearns.

Again, with $400M, a huge stable of fighters and a boatload of TV dates, Al has done a TERRIBLE job.

I understand boxing is a niche sport, but it doesn’t need to be. The promoters and the sanctioning bodies have driven fans away. Haymon squandered his opportunity to bring them back.

Here’s a non-rhetorical question for you. You’re at a 4-way intersection and see the following events taking place: Lebron playing one-on-one against Steph Curry; Tom Brady throwing passes to Antonio Brown; Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge hitting baseballs; and Wilder fighting Joshua, which way would you go? I’d venture to guess that everyone else,
(Lebron, Curry, Brady, Brown, Stanton, Judge) would stop what they’re doing to watch the fight.

 

Haymon is the root cause of the problem. Fighters don’t become fighters without the belief that they can beat everyone in/around their weight class. Haymon has done a TERRIBLE job. Nothing you say will change my opinion.

I’ve enjoyed talking to you Sam Watson.
