This Trash Talking honestly is what sells fights right
Btw: New media boxing Youtubers should purchase in-app translation tool. They are too cheap and expect us commentators to translate for other commentators.

oh Crawford def not a star, and I dont mean on that top tier level but i thought they should at least be at the Spence and Tank level. They should at least be drawing a gate of a couple million at Toyota Center etc. but they've only been doing 6 figure gates so far. Spence and Tank are black american boxers that are able to draw black crowds for gates of more than a couple million consistently. @HeathCliff speaking of Spence, both Pugmire and Dan Rafael are saying the ppv buys were 240k for ugas which would be 10k less than the DSG ppv. If this is the real number its still more than 100k buys higher than Crawford vs Porter ppv

boxing is just different today
hell bud isnt a star either
black fighters just dont get that love

Dan Rafael thinks the Spence Ugas gate will be around $5mil which would be almost double of his gates with Mikey and DSG

500K buys seemed high especially since it was against Ugas.

Had Spence not been injured and fought Pacman, that fight would’ve done 500k plus.

Yeah he's never done close to 500k before. I'd guess it's around 300k-350k. He did close to those numbers for all his ppvs with the exception of Danny Garcia( Danny is a big name that's weird too). But If he somehow pulled off 500k against a Cuban he's the 2nd biggest star in the sport. Nah Fannon is just fanboying lol

England gets my respect for having on Fridays free on YouTube.
Golden boy had a card last night, same parameters.
And there was a BKFC card.

Fight game picking back up.

British Boxing scene been really hot these last few yrs just hope this Kinahan fiasco won't tank the market there to the way the German boxing market has compared to where it once was. Hopefully Sky Sports, BT Sport, Eurosport. Channel 5, and DAZN UK will continue to pump money into it

Never heard of Eurosport, Channel 5. I'll see if I can add them to my favorites on IPTV so I can see what they got.

Thanks

The probellum card on now was supposed to be Casimiero but he is out of the fight due to losing weight by sauna or something like that.

Blueprint to beating them

Wilder - Back him up
Whyte - Throw sneak uppercut
Wilder has only lost to one guy and that guy is taller and heavier than and moves a lot differently than other heavyweights. So I don't know if there is a blueprint for Wilder who has koed everybody except for one man.

Fury starting from the 2nd fight was the 1st one to back him up and it showed Wilder can't fight on the backfoot at all. Usyk would make him look silly

Again, Tyson Fury is a different beast. Let's not forget that even Fury was put on his ass multiple times. Fury is a far bigger dude than somebody like Usyk and Wilder also has a chin, while Usyk lacks power.
Whyte being destroyed by an uppercut has been proven multiple times. Only one man has beaten and knocked Wilder out.
So there has not been a pattern established against Wilder.

I know style make fights but shockingly when Valdez unexpectedly knocked out Berchelt I thought then... Damn, he may give Shakur a run for his money (regarding grid and toughness) Who y'all betting on this upcoming Saturday? I believe Shakur unanimous decision BUT will be tested. Valdez will be the first to create openings for upcoming fighters to expose Shakur's offensive weaknesses. This happens all the time in boxing
