[Psylence83]

Dont know why everyone is getting so excited. Its 2 fights that should of been done in 2014. Plus its boxing, its whats expected- if your good you face good opponent's. ....
it only looks good because we all got dealt **** throughout 2014.....

^ maybe the money wasn't what Guerrero considered fair for a fight vs Thurman. Every side has 2 stories and I recall reading somewhere that Guerrero himself said he didn't like the terms for a fight vs Thurman

"There is no way the goal for Haymon can be to put his guys against opponents with a 50% chance of winning, not long-term anyway."

if you haven't noticed, all 4 names on this card are Haymon affiliated. If Haymon matches his fighters vs each other ..... automatic win

**that proposed Danny Garcia vs Lamont Peterson isn't just a great fight, it also pits Haymon fighters against each other.

Let's not act like haymon doesn't have favorites. Obviously these matchups are being made from the perspective of having Thurman and Broner win. They've both been fighting journeymen. John Molina and Guerrero are being used to prop up the other two, which are Haymon's primary clients. Let's not act like guys like Miguel Vazquez are in his primary interests. That guy gets robbed on a haymon card lol. He has his favorites.

I don't get it, why are you guys acting like this is the first time that Haymon has ever put on a great card. Just less than 3 months ago we got the Khan/Alexander card in Vegas...this saturday Deontay will face Wilder...i mean i know you guys love to act as if Haymon only does Garcia/Salka type of fights but that is clearly not the case.

lol These are good cards?
Charlo-Bottai? Santa Cruz-local cotton candy street vendor?
Two pretenders duking it out for a paper title?
Nice try, doe.

I'm glad that Guerrero finally decided to fight Thurman. I feel Thurman has to much speed and power for Guerrero

sounds like a couple of fun fights. the only thing that worries me is that this is the coming out party and this is the best that al can come up with to make a good first impression and kick it off with a ****. if this is al putting his best foot forward, i dont think the series will be as successful as he expects it to be and he will start losing money, which will come out of the fighters end.
boxing was more popular in the 80s when they were showing real stars on network tv, and they didnt stop airing those fights because they were making money.

Umm what??? These are two legit fights! I have been one of Haymon ' biggest detractors, but I definitely pledge my allegiance to him if this is how it's going to happen.

Btw, is it possible that that is why Floyd has been holding off the Pacquiao fight? So that they could just put it on NBC instead of pay perview?

lmao at the people saying they wouldn't watch it and it would be garbage.
Great show, props

[TRTboy]

If this goes thru then I give haymon credit. Solid fights.

[Rip Chudd]

Wow, actually have to give Haymon props. Good card

Not a chance in hell that pac and floyd fight on nbc, especially since showtime is owned by CBS which is a parent company and completely obliterating the living ishht out of NBC in terms of the ratings war in almost every single time slot. Also there isn't a network on earth that is going to spend 100 million plus for one single event. The olympics costs 2 billion for the tv rights and they can run that ish 24/7 from start to finish over the course of like a month.

I'd say Broner vs Molina is a good fight and a good learning experience for Adrien to improve. However Broner is vastly overrated and is expected by many to take over boxing after Floyd which I don't see. But because of the casual's belief that Broner is still the next big thing, he'd be better off putting it on the line as soon as possible with an opponent that has more to lose. But a decent fight and I don't necessarily want to see Broner fade into oblivion this soon after another loss. I mean heck I think he is pretty entertaining and makes for a good foil to the straight types like Maidana.

I am surprised with Garcia fighting Guerrero just because there isn't a whole lot to gain but he has everything to lose. Guerrero is also relentless and a full fledged welterweight. Pretty surprised with this option but maybe Haymon knows Garcia will prevail.

I kinda disagree with you on AB being over-rated, i dont think hes rated too high by anyone honestly and hes not rated too low, basically hes right where he needs to be at. Before Maidan, yes he was "vastly overrated". But im not saying that he isnt a good fighter because he actually has alot of potential, the physical talent is there and he has the tools to be better than he is now, my knock on his game is geared moreso toward his corner and his strategy/gameplan, its like they dont know how to use what he has, if that makes any sense. And if can just STOP TRYING TO EMULATE FLOYD when he fights which is LAME and just be broner. Dont get me wrong because i definately enjoyed the Maidana fight haha.

As for Broner taking over after floyd, i dont think anybody believes outside of Broner
I have yet to see the talent to take over after floyd does eventually retire
