What's your favourite post fight interview moment?
Also: Crawford - Pistol this saturday/sunday. But I just can't give a shit about super lightweights

i've always loved this interview:
I meant Postol of course, not Pistol lol
Find A Better Boxer
Reminder
...
Let's settle this, are you a Lonsdale man or are you an Everlast man user?
Lonsdale ofc
I really don't care lol
Both chav brands to absolutely avoid if you aren't into boxing.
Kovalev vs Bellew who wins how
This man calling out his colleagueRoy Jones and HBO for delivering a shit product after Roy Jones beat up a fuckin bum cop wanna fighter. It was hilarious. I think in 2003.
Tuf wear
ionsdale for me lol
Wow almost got 6 6s
The frazier fight? One of the funniest dives of all time
this is gonna be good
>What's your favourite post fight interview moment?
Paulie Malignaggi, "Boxing is bullshit!"
Kovalev KOs himself after hearing Bellew speak
Looking forward to seeing Gvozdyk again tonight
He, Loma, Usyk, Shelestyuk and Derevyanchenko are the tits
How come this year's Ukrainian Olympic team is so weak compared to the one in London 2012?
not an interview but this'll always be the best post-fight moment
>don't do it son
Postol a good value at +425
What do you think they were both thinking at this exact moment?
Everlast attire is sold at Sears now so Lonsdale
Honestly I don't see the big fuss for Crawford OR Postol. Crawford's best win is a super featherweight who had him hurt more than once and Postol would've lost to Matthysse if he hadn't headbutted him repeatedly and aggravate a pre-existing eye injury.
>tfw this is a way to set up Alvarez - Saunders for the WBO middleweight title (at 160lbs, not Caneloweight) next spring, then Golovkin-Alvarez for all the belts next September
matthysse is the most overrated fighter of the 2010's. he lost to literally every semi-decent fighter except petersoon
yeah he's like Provodnikov lol
Why is this a PPV?
I understand a shitload of people (for some reason) are willing to pay to see huge names like Floyd or Wlad for example, but these two are literally whos to even the casual boxing fan, nobody's gonna catch this fight just on the off chance and it's not gonna raise their profiles one bit outside the ever shrinkng boxing world
And people wonder why the sport is dying
>Why is this a PPV?
was thinking the same thing. Maybe they're gambling on the entire state of Nebraska buying this, I dunno.
He lost fair and square to two good fighters in Garcia and Postol and that's it. His resume is solid and he's better than many fighters who call themselves champions.
He beat the shit out of Provodnikov.
HBO couldn't afford to buy it so Top Rank have to trust in PPV to cover their expenses. This model will probably become increasingly common on HBO as their budget declines.
Meanwhile Cotto loses every time he steps up and is hailed as a HOF'er.
Mosley and Judah were very good wins
because he actually stepped up and fought the best in their primes with no bullshit unlike a certain someone...
Because HBO doesnt care about boxing anymore, especially when HBO subscribers only care about Game of Thrones or whatever TV series HBO is promoting these days.
their target is only 75,000 buys iirc. I'm going to buy it myself, whether or not everyone knows Crawford he's an exciting fighter and it's a good match up.
youtube.com
undercard is on
This whole situation has shown how hypocritical boxing fans are. For years we've been hearing about how only the best fights between top fighters should be PPV instead of the mismatches involving popular fighters we normallyget. Then that happens and people complain that only the popular fighters are the ones that should be on PPV.
PPV shouldn't exist at all, it's an anachronism and is killing the sport
ufc has done pretty well with ppvs
if you typed la instead of lol u would be a millionaire
kek who's this yang motherfucker
We having the fight thread in here?
>the only punch he landed in 2 rounds was the one that broke his fragile British chin
Are they gonna fight in the UK or something?
That card isn't on HBO PPV.
+900 for KO.
Easy money?
I've always wanted to buy a boxing PPV but I don't know anybody who watches boxing and I ain't paying 60 bucks to watch something alone in my house
I'm paying 50 bucks to watch it alone in my house ;_;
Gvoszdyk v Karpency in 30 minutes
pretty good fight on PBC right now
Was watching that too. Little Figueroa looked pretty good
>Gvoszdyk dropped
holy shit
RIP bob arum
Aside from youtube highlights your ass has never seen him fight, so fuck off.
I would've bought the PPV had the under card not sucked ass
Just stream it.
Save your shekels for GGG vs Brook or Kovalev vs Ward.....Hell, wait for crawford to fight pacquiao in November and see the torch get passed
The undercard isn't that bad, really. Wish Ramirez didn't injure his hand, though.
GGG v Brook is free, so that's good. But it's going to be in the afternoon instead of at night since time zones and shit.
saw postol struggle with hank lundy and crawford destroy him, we'll see though
Kings man
It's free because it's in the UK, Brits are paying for us :^)
is there an acestream for this fight?
yeah that nose is gone
Wish the Brits are paying for Canelo v Smith too.
>90,000 seating stadium
I wonder if half of that shit will be filled lol. Canelo v Khan didn't even sell out.
fug he didn't dare get up
Karpency quits
Yeah because it works for them as they are a monopoly and boxing isn't. In ufc the best have to fight the best in boxing you don't have too, the champ can pick who he fights which turns into shit fights not ppv worthy.
Canelo in a recent interview said he was hoping he would fill the stadium.
In my opinion Oscar is feeding him whatever he wants to hear and he's eating it up like an idiot.
benavidez jr is good
Benavidez v Santana next
>Santana's wife
HNNNNNNNGG
>the ref on PBC raised the wrong hand at the official decision
The best.
Everlast mx are sweet, but nothing has the pop like cleto.
Anyone have an HBO stream for crawford vs postol?
FISH FISH FISH FISH FISH
Delete this more people = more lag
No prob. It's already pretty laggy, but I cant watch the brit feed....The commentating is horrid
fucking good fight so far
Isnt the white mohawk coach the idiot who trains Victor Ortiz?
agreed
Phone booth. Hope they start bombing down the pipe. Both seem smart on the inside.
jesus that leverage on the upper
Anyone actually buying this PPV?
Nope.
I love boxing, but hate this ppv bullshit. Buying this fight makes 0 sense; it's no where near ppv worthy
Holy shit, Crawford put on 17 pounds overnight for this fight.
Weighed in at 140 yesterday, 157 tonight.
he was 157 for the gamboa fight too, gamboa was like 141 lol
not unreasonable.
Pretty sure Canelo comes into the ring at almost 180. Thats like a 25 lb weight cut.
canelo is a little tank
If Pacquiao is 5 years younger he might be able to take the fight against Crawford easy. But now, I don't know.
This is something I've been thinking about since this fight was announced. What makes a fight PPV worthy for us, the fans? They are the two best at 140 by some distance, both are in their primes, its a unification fight, and the winner would be placed in the top 10, maybe top 5 p4p. And yet basically everyone, myself included, doesn't feel that this is PPV worthy. Is marketing (hype, buzz, anticipation, popularity) really that important for us all? Shouldn't we be smarter than that? And if it is not the marketing, then what else is making it not PPV worthy?
Sadly its all marketing, which is why canelo can fight pretty much anyone and demand a PPV. This will not do more than 40k buys.
the commentators are just disgusted by Benevitez's laziness kek
Canelo comes in at 172-175..
And Canelo can get away with ducking GGG to fight liam fucking smith.
"Im mexican, we dont fuck around"........cringe
I'm hoping the backlash of ducking Golovkin kills his next PPV. No one should give him another penny.
I knew he wasn't going to fight GGG, I was really hoping he would fight lemiuex at 160
That was like 3 fights ago when he still did fight night weigh-ins.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's hiding his weight because he keeps going up.
Which is crazy, since he's fighting at 154 in September. He's killing himself just to BARELY make 155.
the younger Maidana brother looks to be promising
>100-90
>98-92
holy shit lel
