As boxing fans that pay hard earned money, I feel we deserve to see the fights that we want.
We are not in charge of the contracts or the drug tests...but we are in charge of our pockets!
It does not matter if you are a Mayweather fan or a Pacquiao fan or a Mosley fan...you just want to see the best fight the best.
There are way too many mismatches in this sport already.
Recent talks have been that Mayeather will opt to fight M. Hatton and Pacquiao will fgiht Paulie Malignagi. Fans have already expressed these fights are not necessary.
And right now Pacquiao and Mayweather are the best.
But they are not fighting the fight the fans want to see.
After the Pacquiao vs Cotto fight...fans of both Manny and Miguel were cheering ... "We want Floyd,We Want Floyd!"
Politics and the war of words has overwhelmed the negotiations for the fight.
As fans, we are not paid to get emotionally involved in the details of each detail of the contract. But we do get caught up in it anyways. And we nearly bark at one another for days, weeks, and months on who is wrong, who is right, and who is the best.
The recent conflicts are over which dru gtesting procedures to use.
Mayweather the former Olympian requested USADA to conduct 15 random drug tests during training camp
Manny wanted NSAC to make it happen since they have been doing it for every fight.
There is a lot more gossip and rumors and heresay but that is not the objective of this group.
You will see recent news that may favor one side more than the other. Use your best judgement.
The primary purpose of this group is to urge every boxing fan to not spend their hard earned money on mismatches and fights that people do not want to see.
In the professional sports there are playoffs in which the best fight the best. Boxing needs to follow those ethics or else MMA may just leave our beloved sport in their rear view mirror.
Boxing fans! DO NOT ORDER PPV unless it is our version of ALI vs Frazier
Hearns vs SRL
Foreman vs ALi
Hagler vs SRL
Castillo vs Corralles
We deserve to see the best fight the best.
Our fathers and grandfathers have a rich history of boxing in which they can tap into while getting their haircut or working on that engine.
What will we say? That we never witnessed the Greatest Of All Time... because of technicallity? Because they did not square off?
I can't tell you what do with your money. But fans everywhere know deep down inside that this was supposed to be our moment where we can say we saw the best fight the and we have closure on who the pound for pound king is.
Throughout their negotiations egos got in the way and they neglected the fans.
I say we practice what powers we have and make the choice to not spend our hard earned money on any fight that falls short of the Megafight, the Fight of the Century.
If you agree then please join the group.
If the fight does happen then we will all be happy and this group will be deleted. But until it does or if does not happen then let us keep our money in our pockets until we have our Megafight.
