Starvinho Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Until it's actually confirmed I wouldn't get your hopes up. Money will be the big factor, if Pacquiao demands too much of the purse then Mayweather won't sign on for the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 British boxer Anthony Crolla will miss his lightweight WBA world title fight on January 23rd after chasing 2 burglars he spotted climbing his neighbour's fence, when one of them hit him in the knee with a brick.

Thrilla Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Seems like Crolla was actually seriously hurt in the attack, fractured skull and a broken ankle. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/30525814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenchill Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Talk is that he may never box again after suffering a fractured skull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Klitschko has announced he'll defend his titles against undefeated Bryant Jennings at MSG on April 25th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrilla Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Just an early heads up, on Saturday Channel 5 will be showing Martin Murray challenge Gennady Golovkin for the WBA Super, WBO Interim and IBO World Middleweight Titles from Monte Carlo. Golovkin is a dangerous fighter that struggles to find opponents and has a staggeringly high ratio for finishing fights, so Murray could be in for a long (or short, depending how you look at it >_> ) night. Also on Saturday, Sky Sports 3 will be showing Arthur Abraham against Paul Smith WBO World Super Middleweight Title from Berlin. And at the end of the month there is a card with Eubank Jr and Tyson Fury on it but I'll post more about that closer to the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Mayweather will probably win, but Pacquiao beating him and retiring without giving him a rematch would be the ultimate troll job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I can't see anything but a comfortable Mayweather points victory (although I imagine the judges would manufacture a closer verdict to open up the possibility of a big-money rematch), but I'd really like to see Pacquiao give him a good hiding. I've heard that Mayweather could receive an estimated $80 million dollars, with figures as high as $120 million being touted, and Pacquiao should earn himself around $60 million if such projections are to be believed. For a single night of competitive sport with a few months' worth of training, that's astounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I expect this to do really well at the box office despite it being several years too late. If it was a couple of years ago I think Mayweather would just edge it but because it's happening now I think it'll be a comfortable points victory.

Rich Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Does it really matter it's 5 years late? I actually think it will be a better fight, 5 years ago mayweather would have been to good defensively, at least now it may actually be more competitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenchill Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yeah, I don't care if it's "five years too late", it's happening and it's going to be the biggest fight of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Due to an issue with wiring, I can only watch/record one thing at a time on my Sky. What do I go for watching tonight? Abraham or Golovkin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'd go for Golovkin myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
