Now that we know Collazo has no interest in Alexander whatsoever I think this may be the next bout for Spence. Doesn't really prepare him for Thurman, but really who would?

I grew up in the same dallas suburb as errol (desoto). Contrary to popular belief i'm not actually a trailer park trash motherf**ker with a mullet who lives in shelby, north carolina.

Peterson needs a money fight and has a stagnant career so why not fight spence??? Spence deserves a thurman who is also vastly overrated but thurman will make excuses forever and talk while running away. Same with paq. Crawford awaits soon.

Originally posted by eff pandas View Postlol yea pbc/haymon has been so bad at that. Idk if that manager to boxer to promoter without any long term upside with a fighter dynamic is making that a problem or what, but when you see the attention guys like wilder & crawford get in their bumf#ck, usa venues you gotta wonder why anyone with a name &/or some talent aren't being taken to their own bumf#ck, usa to get a passionate audience behind them.
And i'm a big fan of the fake it til you make it strategy with this. If i got a fighter who can draw 4,000 fans to a local venue to watch his fights, even if those 4,000 fans are his only fans in the world that has an impact on the people watching at home & sets a tone that this is a worthwhile guy to be watching cuz why else would all these people be going crazy about this guy otherwise. I mean most people don't know wtf they are watching anyway. I see wilder throwing windmill punches & f#cking cringe for him, but most cats, who've never thrown a punch or been hit in their life, just see a guy koing dudes & being in fun fights.
So throwing fights on the homecourt can have massive impact well beyond the local venue for talented guys on the come up who can draw & i don't believe boxing in the us takes advantage of that enough & for sure pbc isn't taking advantage of it as much as they could be either.
And i understand casinos can offer site fees that are ***y, but in the long game of a fighters career having more fans wanting to watch you is more valuable to all parties over a site fee.

Originally posted by mike d View Posti actually truly believe that there's a better than decent chance that team danny and team pacquiao come to terms.
Freddie roach has been drooling about a potential danny garcia/manny pacquiao match up on youtube for a while now. It's a good match up style wise for manny, provided he can avoid that left hook bomb. And conversely for danny -- who would you rather fight? A near 40 year old pacquiao, who will give you your biggest payday of your career -- or would you rather get steamrolled by spence in front of errol's hometown? And for considerably less money to boot?
And also, danny has been on the record saying that he thinks the pacquiao fight will happen. It's on youtube. And that was pretty recent when he said that, too.

Originally posted by eff pandas View Posti have zero doubt porter would fight anyone at 147 any time in any place. He's been that type of a fighter & will be that type of a fighter for the foreseeable future.
And i think danny would to, but idk if angel would allow him & danny is a big daddy's boy so who knows there.
Also i don't see why berto wouldn't accept a title fight in the off chance one got offered to him these days.
I'm not of the opinion there are many professional fighters scared to fight guys & make nice money at this level. Guys who are scared to fight are weeded out well before they get to this level of the game far more often then not.

Originally posted by edward90 View Postbunch of nonsense in these comments. Although i would want him to fight a top 10 ww next, i won't complain. He's running it back 3-4 months later instead of 9-10 months and wants to fight more frequently than most titleholders. It will probably be against collazo, which is fine, i guess. Either way, it's free, it's not too far away and it will be in a location where i can attend the event. It's all good.
People crying about him not drawing big numbers for showtime or not fighting in texas. Who cares? He will soon be able to pack dallas if he continues to fight relevant opponents and fights frequently. People want fighters to be big names before they have the opportunity to do so. Who cares? If you like him, watch him. If you don't, don't watch him. He's not complaining about his pay or exposure. Let the guy become a star.

Originally posted by bigdunny1 View Postspence drew what 500 fans in a airport bunker in the bundu fight? Lol you don't think he can draw more fans then that if they have him fighting consistently in dallas? Spence would kill for broner's attendance and draw figures in cinci. Broner drew more viewers to watch him on showtime against granados then spence did to watch him fight brook and brook is a much bigger name then granados.
