I like this train of thinking. First 4 rounds is to gage Pac, as usual then start opening up.

Where do you guys think boxing goes after this fight? I'm looking forward to the extreme fan boys of either fighter going away. I'm hoping this fight along with the PBC and other network boxing showcases will bring more attention to the sport. I'm hopeful that guys like Crawford GGG and Ward can flourish. I'm hopeful that some of the politics in boxing won't keep us from seeing fights like Stevenson/Kovalev, Crawford/Broner, or GGG/Canelo. I'm also hopeful that Oscar can get his life together, stay out off women's clothes and stay away from the drugs.

It may not be the last mega fight in our lifetimes but it's gonna be a while before we get a fight this major. I mean a long time.

I'm asking where people think the sport will be in the next 5 years. Not from a mega fight perspective but which fighters do you think will be on top? What impact do you think PBC will have on the sport's popularity etc?

It's hard to be serious about boxing on BET
. I don't think he will flourish under Roc Nation or on BET unless they can start getting better fights.

I can see it now.
1. A huge BET logo will race across the screen from right to left. The screen will fade to Black. AJ and Free will appear on the screen and give us a breakdown of the fight. AJ will mess up the fighter's names and Free will just laugh along. After about 30 minutes of this and special appearances by Julissa and Jin the fighters will come to the ring.
2. Andre Ward will come down to the ring with Big Tig freestyling about boxing being on on BET, specifically it will go like this, "Big Tig coming off the top letting you know that this boxing thing on BET won't stop"
3. The fans in the half empty arena will be going crazy as R Kelly sings the National Anthem with ballroom dancers.
4. Ward will square off against his opponent in the middle of the ring, the bell rings and we get round after round of nonstop boxing action.
5. Ward will dominate the fight, he knocks down his opponent, the ref counts to 10 and the lights go black.
6. We hear glass breaking and we hear Stone Cold Steve Austin's music start. He comes down to the ring and hits Dre and the ref with a stone cold stunner.
7. AJ and Free say the fight is over. The camera pans to a little kid crying and the screen fades to Black.

I'd like to see Canelo, GGG, Kovalev, Crawford, Bradley, Brook, Thurman, and some others be at the top in 5 years, but we'll see what happens.
PBC will have to put on more fights like DSG Vs. Peterson to gain more casual viewers. I'd like to see if Haymon comes with a bigger fight than that one on PBC.

I heard about that. Oscar was too busy doing coke and dressing up like a chick while Schaefer and Haymon basically took his roster. He has no one but himself to blame. I see this lawsuit going away just like the others against Haymon.

Yea I agree ^ I blame more on Al Haymon conspiring to run his own thing.

So Bob Arum monopolizes boxing by having all the fights in house but Haymon gets sued for doing the same? Stupid.

Structurally the two are not doing the same thing. Haymon serves as both promoter and manager. This is a conflict of interest, which is why his fighters use the term "advisor". We all know Arum is a puppet master, but his fighters have their own managers. Pacquiao is managed by Koncz. A lot of Arums other boxers are managed by Cameron Dunkin like Crawford, Rios, Mikey Garcia, until recently Bradley, etc.
