The Official Boxing Thread

[SumoNinja]

it's all part of growing. like any company that will look at it's structure and make adjustments to improve sales

but all the while, many boxers are still making bank even during the slumps here and there. you can't make bank like that and get slots on networks without making revenue and profit. all of which come from fans, don't you guys get that? none of it is possible if it's not making bank on fans, lol

it's not like it was a last desperate attempt to survive. not by any means

No, was it any good?

Wlad Klitschko is fighting Povetkin this weekend. I'm really looking forward to that one.
Cotto is fighting Rodriguez as well. I don't know much about Rodriguez; hopefully it's a good fight.

I saw the commercial for that card.Looks like HBO is not down for the count after all.

the show is interesting. it's good to see where he is in life right now. a lot of good interviews and they follow him around.


is the wlad fight gonna air in the US?

 

[bottles]

Nice, I'll give it a shot.

I'm not sure if the Wlad fight will air live in the US, but there will be a replay on HBO. I think it's live around 12:30pm PT. I think the replay is after the Cotto fight, but I'm not 100% sure.

you missed two good episodes. not sure how many they are gonna do but the next one he discusses his mentor Cus D'Amato

last episode he briefly talked about his daughter that died when the interviewer asked him about her. it was pretty touching. i mean you hear about when celebs lose their kid and you think, oh that sucks, but you don't give it much thought. but when you see them talk about it and see the emotion you realize how much the guy went through. kind of eerie thing, imo, is that his girl that passed, her name is Exodus. again i'm really happy to see that at least he seems to be at peace and headed in the right direction and seems to have some control over the demons he's struggled with his whole life

if i remember to, i'll try to stream the klits fight

you know , for all of the train wrecks in his life,(mostly self induced, but some of them not), he is remarkable in his ability to bounce back ,, I TRULY admire him more now than when he was the king of the 80's sports world(along with Mikey J, THE OVERRATED CHAMP)
