Official 2017 Boxing Thread: 12/16 - Billy Joe Saunders vs. David Lemieux HBO

[Bobby Layne]

It's a timebuy and Tecate is basically footing the bill from what I understand.

It's no different than what Al did except the emphasis is going to be on developing prospects (which GB has a nice stable of), and the shows are going to be much cheaper to produce and stage on average.

They are going to be basically be the RINGtv shows GB is already doing, but with ESPN branding and networks.

 Spoke with GBP President, Eric Gomez, says of their ESPN deal, they will work with ''everybody'' they can to make the best fights #boxing

 E. Gomez says they are very aware of the brand of Friday Night Fights and the power of ESPN's platform and the responsibility they have...

Floyd Mayweather is a shucking and jiving dude. Pathetic.

 

[Bobby Layne]

 

[bigmike23]

He can't make the weight?

Not anymore. He had to go through the ringer to make weight for Degale.

So this is why Floyd has been down talking Ward? He's trying to get badou a check

He has never ****** with ward tho, I have always wonder why.

Maybe it has to do with the James prince thing

 

[illphillip]

I thought they were somewhat cool.

I remember seeing some vids of Floyd calling Andre before fights for whatever that's worth.

That was for the Ward-Kessler fight. Somewhere along the way their relationship went astray. It could be because Ward said he was rooting for Guerrero when he fought Mayweather because Guerrero is his friend.

 

[Bobby Layne]

I would pay good money to see a video of J Prince's goons beating the **** out of Ellerbe

Aaaah. Wasn't aware of that.

And most recently, Shakur Stevenson signed with James Prince and is working with Ward. As you may know, Floyd was campaigning for Stevenson. So he probably took it personal and used this opportunity to throw a couple jabs.

 

[illphillip]

On that note, if you can find the footage of Shakur and Devin Haney sparring it is good money.

I saw it on Devin's IG stories.

 

[HEATHEN]

Angel bugging...


He talking **** but Danny is the one who has to get in there and fight.


He's gonna **** around and get Danny hurt badly for wildin' like he is.

I saw it a while back, it could've been a different clip but I think Shakur had the upper hand. Both are very talented though.

 

[Xennial]

Nobody watched the zab judah fight?

 

[illphillip]

It was televised?

 

[freakydestroyer]

I'm really surprised Judah hasn't fought Broner yet. I guess he's still too much of a threat.

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Didn't think this Khan Porn Hub situation was still going on

 

[illphillip]

That still image is priceless

 

[aepps20]

Glad Angel is banned from speaking.

 

[AEA18]

Glad Angel is banned from speaking.

Damn

This gotta be a first. Has a trainer ever been banned from speaking at press conferences before?

 

[illphillip]

Dude really blacked out at that one though.

 

[monstar]

Did Manny Pacquiao really just come out and say he wants to fight McGregor smh

dude needs to ride off into the sunset I just pray he hasnt blown all his money already

 

[polosanddunks]

Glad Angel is banned from speaking.

he really got banned?

 

[illphillip]

There seemed to be a bit of an uproar over his colloquial use of the N word in calling Thurman a B A N.

People made it out to be a racist attack. I didn't really see it that way but inappropriate in that setting either way.

Jawing in a hotel lobby, maybe. Legit press conf.? Nah

I didn't hear the part about immigrants but apparently that one was an issue as well.

 

[Xennial]

So will there be any other boxing matches this year that will do 1 million ppv buys besides Joshua and Klitschko and Canelo vs Chavez Jr.?
