Official 2016 Boxing Thread: 11/5/2016 - Vargas/Pacquiao Top Rank PPV.

[freakydestroyer]

I think Chavez Jr can hurt Canelo just as bad as GGG can. But I think I read on Twitter last night that the fight is official. It was in Spanish so I couldn't understand and the news was probably overshadowed by Ronda Rousey.

 

[wavy daddy]

I think its fake. Canelos fights are sponsored by tecate not corona.

 

[niketalker23]

Its actually not a bad matchup for Canelo if its at a full 160.

Gives him a chance to fight a big guy with a great chin. Good way to prepare for GGG.

If true that is.

 

[freakydestroyer]

If you take several shots from Chavez Jr, it's going to have its effect. Doesn't matter how out of shape or washed up he is. I expect Canelo to win, but he's not going to leave that ring without a scratch.

 

[retiredkicks]

^Most definitely. Chavez, when focused, does some really good body work as well. He'll have the height and reach going for him but he probably won't use it to his advantage. I see a good scrap coming out of this one.

I just heard Barbershop Conversations on youtube and dude said nose bleed tickets for GGG vs Jacobs going for $500 :x :x

Not true, 500 will get u good seats but tickets are still pretty damn expensive IMO. Nosebleeds are 100 but I have a feeling like those seats will be going for less than that on stubhub closer to fight date

Yeah I just looked it up. Whoever said that doesn't know how to use a search engine.

 

[illphillip]

Best of 2016 replays been cool but I'm starving out here.

I've never been more hyped for a Lara or Yuri Foreman fight

Pacquiao Wants $20 Million Guarantee To Fight Crawford, Says Koncz http://dlvr.it/N1TS6M  #boxing

 

[Baby Newport]

That seems a lil high....but if offered, whats crawfords price?

 

[lightweight champion]

I'd guess $8-$10 million

 

[Bobby Layne]

That's Pac's old garauntee, he was making that until recently when him and Arum agreed to renogotiate his minimum since his old one was no longer sustainable in today's climate.

It's really not that outrageous all things considered, and Arum should jump at that offer.

 

[freakydestroyer]

Terence Crawford needs to just move on. Pacquiao clearly does not see the risk-reward as being favorable to him. Crawford should try to get Broner now that it looks like Arum and Haymon are more open to working together.

They should go after JMM, since he wants one more payday that does not involve Pac.

Any chance we could do a NT Boxing Twitter roll call?

Not many of my friends are talking about Boxing and I'm just getting going on Twitter

Mine is @AmateurOpinions

 

[dedafyats]

That's a big risk for Pac, he should look to fight berto or ghost

Come on, he just fought Vargas, he doesn't need another tune up. It's Mayweather or bust for him basically. Khan was in the picture until he got knocked out again.

 

[mgrand15]

Y'all really want Pacquaio to get killed, huh?

 

[dedafyats]

Crawford needs to move on, 147 is beyond stacked.

Son wants the oldest most tested in the division.

Porter needs a fight

Jeff Horn 

Huh?
JMM wants a payday, so he should fight Crawford?

Makes ZERO sense

 

[freakydestroyer]

Marquez is 43 with bad knees. He's not coming back.

Plus 147 has plenty of names.

Like Angel Garcia said, "why fight a Thurman/porter when you can fight a Salka?"
