I believe it's the concussion protocol. They make you sit out up to 90 days before you can fight again. No big deal.
Thanks, don't think they should say suspended though.
It's a suspension because dumb ass boxers or promoters would still try to get them to box or train if they didn't. Now they get a fine.
Yeaaaaaaah. Now that's what I'm talking about. Time to turn the fucking heat up. I want the Lomachenkos, the Teofimos, the Ryan Garcias, the Shakur Stevensons. Hell I'll even take that little motherfucker Robeisy Ramirez that beat Shakur in the Olympics.
Robeisy finally about to turn pro after fucking around so much since he left Cuba. I follow him on IG and all he been doing is party and fuck bitches. He even got some ugly thot pregnant before he even turned pro smh. Cubans have been known to lose their discipline after defecting off the island so we will see about this one, especially since he's in Miami with all the Vices/temptations there.
Y’all giving Thurman waaaay too much credit.
He isn’t active enough to talk as big as he’s talking.
Not to mention he BARELY survived his last fight.
He knows he’s not sharp enough right now to take on the big dogs at 47.
That’s why he said he’s not even mentioning their names until 2020.

Thing is Thurman is the most charismatic of the current belt holders from 147-160 weight classes. As he said, it's just way more excitement with him back than when he was gone for those 22 months.
There's some buzz that Spence isn't happy the Garcias fight is going on PPV, while his fight with Porter is on regular FOX

Charisma doesn't win fights, and it isn't gonna help him against Pacquiao, Crawford or Spence.
He's probably going to beat Pacquiao but he's gotta step up and keep the same energy when it comes to Spence/Bud.
The reason why the Garcia vs Garcia fight is on PPV is because they're asking for too much money.
So PPV is the only option.
They aren't popular enough to attract advertisers on the PBC platform.
I don't see why Spence would be mad at that since it has nothing to do with him.
Idk, maybe Spence's purse isn't going to be as big and he thinks he'd be able to get more from PPV?
Wilder Ortiz II just signed.
Now Wilder and his team are supposed to drop everything and comply? They’ve been asking for this type of sit down for almost two years now. It doesn’t work like that.

Wilder laid out his next 3 fights. He showed that in the near future he doesn't need AJ. Now AJ wants to do him the way Oscar/Canelo did GGG and tell him who he should and shouldn't fight. I do however like that they will sit in a room and talk like men, but I don't want Wilder to put his career on hold to make this fight.
Amir Khan to face ex-MMA fighter Neeraj Goyat in Saudi Arabia exhibition bout that will see him earn £7MILLION ($9 million) pay cheque

Charisma sells fights tho, Manny vs AB did 400k ppv buys I got a feeling Manny vs Thurman will do more like 600k ppv buys potentially even close to the 850k ppv buys Manny vs Hatton did. If Thurman beats Manny it grows his name even more leading to another big PPV vs winner of the Garcias and then a mega fight vs Spence for 3 of the titles at 147. I doubt Thurman will ever fight Crawford, Crawford has had 2 of the lowest ppv buy fights ever with Postol and Khan
Manny Pacquiao has been a PPV star for over 10 years. His name sells automatically. Crawford wasn’t a household name when he fought Postol and no networks wanted to pick up that fight during that time so PPV was the only option. And of course nobody was going to pay to watch him fight Khan. That was a terrible matchup to begin with. Crawford’s career has been terribly mismanaged by Top Rank.
AJ and Fury need to go ahead and dance after their next fights. Nothing is holding them from making that happen. AJ is not contractually obligated to fight on DAZN like Canelo. He can fight on whatever network he chooses.
Former world champion Amir Khan will make history when he fights in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Friday 12th July, 2019. Khan will become the first high profile Muslim boxer to showcase his skills at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah nicknamed the "The Shining Jewel" in a fight that promises to elevate the Kingdom as a major sporting attraction.

Here is an interview AJ did in 2017. He said he wouldn't fight Wilder until he felt he was ready. Was Wilder supposed to wait until he was ready?
Yep, the same 6,000 Brits that came over for the fight. No matter how it’s spun, Joshua isn’t known here in America.
