The sad state of boxing captioned in one quote "doesn't bring much money to the table". How about legacy? Honor? Being worthy of the fans who make your career and earn you big checks? Boxing has gone the way of the music game, money first, craft second.

Who wants to fight Quillin now? What does he bring to the table exactly? He hasn't headlined shows either. Is Quillin really going to get a payday higher than 1.4m for fighting someone for no belt?

Originally posted by Spray_resistant View PostNothing really other than the possibility of beating Peter Quillin, if he fought Andy Lee then Lee would be the a-side after Lee basically picked up what he threw in the garbage and for what? To just keep talking about making big money fights when there is no possibility of them taking place in the near future?
Seriously, who is Peter Quillin?

Originally posted by SlySlickSmooth View PostYeah but since he dropped the title there's no value on him. Like he said, fans only remember the career defining fights. He doesn't bring a career defining fight to anyone now especially after dropping his title. Nor does dropping your title equate to you being a bigger cash cow... if anything he's dropping his stock with every passing day he doesn't fight.
Seriously, who is Peter Quillin?

I'm afraid we're going to see Taylor/Mora announced on the undercard of Stiverne/Wilder and that Quillin/Jacobs fight a month later for the WBA regular title. Then because it'll be a unification fight, N'Dam will get bypassed and we'll see Peter become the WBA/IBF champion. Nice to see a guy like Quillin get rewarded.

Seriously, how could could anyone defend this guy and this particular statement?
his message :"The same way people defend GGG ducking Ward and everybody ducking Rigondeaux"
'
in my Golovkin's voice: "are you serious?!"

Drops his title, loses career high payday, and the guy he was supposed to face ends up getting knocked out anyways.
Peter Quillin really is something else. Its as if he feels he is doing everyone a favor dropping his title and not aiming for Golovkin.
Golovkin earned $900k for Rubio. If Rubio made weight he would of made $450k. (Failed to make weight so he gave up $100k to GGG) That's $50k more possible than if Korobov had to fight Quillin.
I would assume its better to get knocked out by the boogeyman GGG than get knocked out by no title having Quillin. Plus you can probably just flop like Rubio did against GGG and make it look real because he punches so damn hard.
Quillin is either delusional as hell or Haymon's ultimate puppet.Last edited by SlySlickSmooth; 12-28-2014, 04:23 PM.

I thought Haymon was Quillin's adviser NO? If so Quillin needs to be advised to keep his mouth shut about GGG who's is gaining more and more fans by the day, while Quillin's out here talking crazy talk and losing the little fans he did have left..... If you don't want to fight GGG you shouldn't even mention his name...
