Mayweather ALWAYS fights in May. Too late to pull out now. I believe. This should be Mayweather vs Pacman 3. With the first one being 5 years ago. Both are past their prime but still at the top and will easily break all time PPV records. Money vs Oscar did 2.4M I'm gonna guess this will do around 3M.
the real superfight would be: ggg vs andre ward. But i'm not sure the fighters have a big enough following on either side for a fight of this magnitude. ggg v ward would be an unreal pairing.
Here is my ultimate card co-headline bouts: leo santa cruz vs guillermo rigondeaux ggg vs andre ward And hype the **** like crazy
what? who? I've barely heard of Ward and I have no idea who any of the rest of those guys are. Mayweather vs. Pac is the true definition of a real SUPERFIGHT.
You are obviously not a boxing fan if you've never heard of these guys. At least 3 out of 4 are on the top 10 pound for pound list. GGG has a string of like 18 knockouts in a row. All Ward did was blow through the super six boxing classic and beat every top contender in the division. The guy is probably the best pound for pound boxer in the world. rigondeaux housed donaire (who at the time was considered nearly unbeatable). rigondeaux is also the best defensive fighter/ technical figher we've seen since Mayweather and Ivan Calderon (you probably don't know who he is either). Believe me if this card was made it would be a BIG deal to many fight fans and you'd hear about it.
I would really like to see if GGG could do anything with Ward. Or if it would be another riggy/donaire, mayweather/gatti. The last time a truly elite defensive fighter lost was caldron, but he was at the end of his career. I feel like the fight would be like another Giovani Segura/ Ivan Caldron fight. GGG would be getting hit but coming with relentless pressure. For the record, I don't like these types of fights. Probably the best fight I've seen with a matchup LIKE this one was dmitry pirog vs Danny Jacobs. That was a truly special fight, in my opinion. It's sad that pirog doesn't give a **** anymore. Put him (3 years ago) against Andre Ward and it would have been MY DREAM!
In terms of really putting Golovkin to the test, Ward is the biggest obstacle. It's amazing how people are calling for him to go up in weight to fight the Lineal SuperMiddleweight champ, testament to how there really aren't any challenges for him at 160 and how dominant hes been. Martin Murray is a legit fighter. Should've gotten the title from Sturm and basically got robbed in Martinez's homecoming.
The average UFC fighter makes 63,000 a fight/ maybe less depending on ranking. Think about that for a second folks, lol.
damn the tickets to MGM sold out in 15 min...sick... Even if this was 5 years too late...I sure as heck will be tuned in...as will the rest of the world.
ward should be fighting guys like stevenson & kovalev. different weight class but stevenson's the same weight and kovalev same height. stop chasing the smaller guys.
