@tpotda its looking like that Spence/Crawford fight will be on October 22 in Las Vegas 
How I know? Well Michael Coppinger confirmed the deal is closed to done, in Vegas, in October.
I went and looked at hotel prices for that entire month, the 22nd and the 23rd are the only two dates blocked off for most hotels. Friday the 21st is the most expensive Friday in that month. That means they're waiting for official announcement to open up the market for those two days.

I just realized, that fight is Tomorrow, not Sunday. I mean for us in the US that is.
Damn, I wanted to have a freed up schedule to watch the Stephen Fulton card

Looks like I’ll be out of town for work that weekend. Shit.
George Kambossos missed weight? 
While you were talking all that emperor shit, should've been in a sauna sweating yo' bitch ass off

Dude was too busy playing tough and being fake mad at Haney!
He has two hrs from the time of missed weight. I hope he fails BUT not hard to take off .3 lb of weight. His problem? He's going to be drained, THEN "normal" re-hydration will also be a problem. Devin will win, and Kambosos will blame it on the weight mishap. Mark my words.
Dam you're prolly right on this 1, if this fight happens u think this breaks a $10mil gate?

All the venues gonna put big money in the pot to host. If they hurry and close the deal, promotion will be big. I see 10 milly easily on the gate. Remember Crawford ppv numbers haven't been big but his matches have always done good gates and his fanbase travels
wow you really high on that gate, we should be at 13 7 figure gates by end of this month for 2022 so far but only Fury vs Whyte has been a 8 figure gate out of those 13 so far since Canelo vs Bivol didn't break it. Its still a real feat to break that $10mil mark for a gate
I see this fight having true buzz. Canelo is by far the biggest star in boxing know one knew Bivol except for hardcore fans but 2 undefeated Americans fighting for the undisputed title in a glamor division can be huge with the right promotion. You know Vegas gonna charge high dollar for seats plus closed circuit showings
In Vegas its possible. Anywhere else I'd bet the under. Wilder/Fury rematch did $16.92M. I see this fight being bigger that than that.
Who knows

Yeah a lot of these boxing dads would have trouble getting in, Peter Fury and Big John Fury couldn't. Angel Garcia, Kenny Porter, Teo Sr. would all have problems
No way it comes close to that Wilder/Fury 2 gate, i dont think it even does Wilder/Fury 3 gate, HW boxing draws to casuals in a diff way imo. Yeah thats the list for the biggest Vegas gates which are most of the biggest boxing gates. They stopped publishing the gates awhile back tho so thats why Canelo Plant isn't on there which supposedly was over $18 mil

You know what, you make a very good point. This fight don't give off that casual hype although its being billed as the biggest fight in boxing.
yeah who knows I could be wrong but money wise it won't be close to the biggest fight of boxing in 2022, Money wise it'll be AJ vs Usyk 2 then Canelo vs GGG 3. This may not even be as big money wise as Fury vs Whyte and Canelo vs Bivol was. What this fight is big on is that the winner will most likely be crowned p4p #1 by most
This fight going to be lit tomorrow
Man if AB lose to Omar Figueroa he might as well hang it up
He should hang it up now tho
Now that's something I'd love to see and i don't even watch reality shows but i'd watch that
build up for that will be LEGENDARY, u have a built in backstory too with Tank being Broner's lil bro and the history with Floyd and Broner and Rolly signed to TMT
Different strokes for different folks. I'm not impressed with Tank Davis neither but I root for him cause he makes me a lot of money cause he ain't going to fight anybody that will give him a real test.
now i see why u wanted him to fight Cruz againDifferent strokes for different folks. I'm not impressed with Tank Davis neither but I root for him cause he makes me a lot of money cause he ain't going to fight anybody that will give him a real test.
Not true
I call myself trying to do some secret squirly detective shit based on interviews after the fight. Plus I didn't know the details of why Cruz pulled out of that Garcia fight. To be honest I really don't care who Tank fights next, I'm not going to be critical of who they choose for him. I just wish he fought more than once a year. lol
you laying any action on the Haney vs Kambosos card?
