The fact that a drug cheat like Povetkin is getting a title shot speaks volumes to boxing's corruption.

Yea, just like Luis Ortiz; money talks.

How long till we hear AB crying about Floyd stealing money and not promoting him properly?
2 fights?

This has trainwreck written all over.

Didn’t Andre Berto fail a test for PEDs and still end up getting fighting floyd in a PPV flop?
Lol

[freakydestroyer]

Ducktales! Floyd wouldn't put 50 cents behind Broner.

 

[DADDYFATSACKS]

Ab is still a good draw. People want to see him lose.

Yeah but 10 Mill a fight...he hasn't even made that much per fight before. He's not worth that much even if he brings his whole Band Camp for the undercard of each of his fights.

Ab’s Numbers are def off.

He probably meant $50,000

This was him two weeks ago. He might just be having another manic episode.

People are making a big deal about this fight being in Russia, but it's a lot more of a neutral site than one would think.

Gassiev isn't Slavic, he's from the caucuses, and Usyk has been pretty open about how he seems himself as a Slav first, and a Ukrainian second. He's not a nationalist. https://sputniknews.com/art_living/201604041037447164-oleksandr-usyk-ukraine-russia-friendship/

#Brothas4Eva Until I have another mental breakdown

 

[snkrfollower]

Yeah, I don't remember GGG-Canelo 1 being this much

$5k tix are still available during the presale. I still may try for the lower-price tickets and fly out in Sept., tho.

I don't know if Top Rank can keep carefully matching Zurdo for much longer. David Benavidez is 6 years younger and looks more the part.

Good thing for him is that the Benavidez-TR deal fell through. http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/...es-250000-bonus-back-top-rank-returns-sampson

It'll be interesting to see if Al puts him on the shelf or if they ironed out any of the issues that had him wanting to jump ship.

There are no 168lber in the Haymon stable who can beat DB. Anthony Dirrell, Jose Uzcategui, and Plant should keep DB busy the next year and a half.

168 will be hot in about a year when the dust settles.

• Benavidez cleans out the Haymon side
• WBSS winner is crowned
• Zurdo continues becoming a bigger name
• Billy Joe Saunders moves up
