Lets see if they try to rob Lomachenko, no way he lost this fight, just beat the crap out of Gary Russell Jr.


Russell Jr. was lucky there wasn't another 10 seconds to the last round, he was on his way out.

Russell Jr has no power at all. Lots of shoe shine combos with nothing on them. Can't see how that was a split decision...

I may go to bed, completely uninterested in Robert GuerrerLOL

It's actually a decent fight so far, mainly cause Kamegai doesn't seem to know how to defend and just sort of Frankensteins his way forward.

Guerror cut

That left eye is shut.

Kamegai wins to me.

I'm glad I stayed up, that was a good brawl. If the Japanese guy threw to the head like he did to the body instead of arm punches, Guerrero would have been in some serious trouble.

Thurman is going to wreck him.

What a great fight, sad to see Gamboa lose for obvious reasons, but he finally fought someone that would make him pay for keeping his hands down and all those wild combos.

50 needs to stop promoting fighters. Top Rank is clearly taking advantage of his inability to choose good fights for his fighters

Just saw All Access with Canelo and Lara. Strange, how Lara stated he didn't like the crowds of cameras, yet he literally upstaged Canelo by confronting him face to face during the press conference for Canelo's fight with Angulo.

Fighters would fight Pac anywhere if it means getting a 5 million dollar purse. Top Rank actually pay fighters pretty well

True (though, I'm guessing Algieri's cut is more like 1.5-2 million).

I guess the only person my comment really applies to is Marquez. In general he doesn't seem to be tripping over himself to face Pac again, and that fight was considered DOA as soon as the Macao venue was announced for Pac's fall fight. If does every fight Pac again, it is going to be in a more neutral location.

Speak more broadly, Pac's options are extremely limited and fighting Algieri will probably earn him just about as much money as fighting anyone else in the TR stable (besides Marquez).

My understanding is that the math for doing the fight in Macao is mostly rooted a giant site fee from the casino that is hosting the fight (also tax reasons). Say this fight does only ~400k buys; who can he fight that would realistically get him more than that?

Yep, but Pac basically chose this on himself when he resigned. He could of made serious money as a free agent or as a Haymon fighter, but now he's gonna have to figure out how he's gonna pay the IRS with fighting guys like Crawford and Algeiri for the next 3 years.
