I just think Sergio has "it" anymore. Time and wars have taking a toll on him. I really think he should have stayed at 47 and or 54 a little while longer but he couldn't get big money fights. I think the JCC jr fight took a lot out of him. I don't wan to see him standing in front GGG with his hands at his waist eating those shots.

Yahoo! article said that they (barely) turned a profit because the PPV needed 350 to break even.

Plus, everyone think PPV will be dead after PBF...they said the same after DLH retired.

Good call

Vaulted him into "superstardom", if you will. There are worse things.
I hear that.
I guess my point is that it made him a one dimensional fighter. The Donaire who was picking guys apart and dominating them with both hands is long gone. It just never showed itself until he stepped up to someone on his level. Which was no fault of his, the GB/TR beef robbed him of a good amount of opponents at fly & bantam.

Didn't help that the undercard was notoriously TERRIBLE, which is usually the case with TR cards.

I think that's an OK number.
Happened right after the best selling PPV in history.
Weak undercard.
Still did better than the two MMA cards that followed right after.

Andrade assessed several of the division's fighters as well as his chances against them, below.
Floyd Mayweather (45-0, 26 KOs): "I would beat him by decision, if not, I may knock him out if I had to. That could be. I just feel that I'm a southpaw, and I'm long and rangy. I'm fast. I'm not no dumb fighter. I believe that I have the power to do it."
Canelo Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KOs): "I would stop him. I would walk his little *** down."
Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31 KOs): "I would stop him, too. I would stop him just because he's smaller, and I'm longger, and I would have him walking into punches all night long. I think that cuts would definitely be a factor."
Carlos Molina (22-5-2, 6 KOs): "I would stop him. I would walk his little *** down, too. He was a 147-pounder, so he's coming up. These guys have been trying to box him, and I'll keep him at bay and just walk him down and use my hand speed."
Erislandy Lara (18-1-2, 12 KOs): "I would whup his ***. But since he likes to run a lot, I think that our fight might go the distance."
Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KOs): "Probably the same thing as Lara. I'm a southpaw, and so is he, but I've got a little more flash and I'm faster. I think that I would be able to fight him. I'm not sure what his jaw can take, but if I can stop him, then I'll stop him, too. We fought back in the day, as amateurs, and I beat him then."
James Kirkland (31-1, 27 KOs): "I would stop him, too. He's short and he likes to just rush in and try to throw these long-assed hooks. He would be walking into punches all night long, too. I ain't going to let him just walk in."
Alfredo Angulo (22-3, 18 KOs): "I sparred with him to help him prepare for the Lara fight. He's a tough guy, but later on in the rounds, I would stop him, too."

It seems as though you can earn a big fight by shooting off at the mouth. Or at least in recent years that's how it's been, a marketing ploy at it's finest (or worst, depending on your perspective).
