Triple G’s Numbers 150k and Perfectly fine

1-GolovkinLemieux_HoganphotosBy Rick Jones III: The last 20 years boxing has been held by it’s throat by Floyd Mayweather Jr. The boxer that considers himself “The Greatest Of All Time,” had a real tight grip on the sport of boxing. The boxer then retired as of Sep 12th of 2015, which I have marked on my calendar the day boxing was reborn and possibly the best thing that has happen for the professional sport.

The pay-per-view numbers finally came out for the Gennady Golovkin – David Lemieux fight, which hit a little bit over 150,000 buys on HBO last Saturday night. So does that mean that the famous Triple G is not worthy of the throne Mayweather Jr. left behind? No…HELL NO! What this means is that the sport of boxing is actually level and balanced.

Chavez Jr: Still a very flawed fighter

by

By Rick Jones III: The Mexican boxer is known for having tremendous heart and value when it comes to boxing. The sport where two guys go head to head for 12 or 15 rounds, depending your time period in the sport as a fan was the main reason why most Mexican fans or Latinos love the sport.

Why Mayweather is not TBE [The Best Ever]

by

Floyd MayweatherBy Rick Jones III: One of the many things that seems to blind fans in boxing is the fact that everyone is equal. I have been around the sport of boxing for more than 30 years. I have seen and lived in and out of the ring. Boxing is a battle field and that’s where every fighter does his talking and proving their worth.

Boxers train for months to with stand 12 rounds of unpredicted hits and moves in a ring that contains the best of the best. The only person that can successfully be a boxer is the boxer himself, everything outside of the ring means nothing. People need to understand that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is just like every other fighter.

Mayweather Only Has Two Options: Bradley or Pacquiao

by

floyd7By Rick Jones III: I strongly believe this is the end of the road for Floyd Mayweather Jr. I have been hearing rumor after rumor that his next opponent is Andre Berto and then I hear that it is Mayfield and then I hear it is Amir Khan. I think it is Hilarious and pretty damn disrespectful to the boxing fan that this is happening when the only two options for Mr. Money Mayweather are Timothy Bradley and a rematch with Manny Pacquiao.

The funny thing about this whole situation is that Mayweather thinks his work is done in the sport of boxing. I give him the respect on the fact he beat a guy that he was avoiding for years but that’s it.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Having The Ultimate Undercard

by

floyd10By Rick Jones III: Boxing is about to have there “Super Bowl” on May 2nd when World champions Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao finally meet in the ring to settle some long awaited business.

The last few months have been nothing but Mayweather vs. Pacquiao news in the boxing world but I have also been wondering about the undercard. The Undercard for this fight is going to be crucial for any of the networks that broadcast the fight (Showtime / HBO) to truly say that this is the “Super Bowl “of boxing.

Mayweather and Pacquiao building the hype

by

floyd58544By Rick Jones III: The best thing any business can do to make there product shine is to market and manage. I believe Showtime has talked and explained to both fighters the in and outs of what is going to happen in the next few months. The first thing that happen was a friendly confrontation in public. The fighters were well train to show that they just met and talked for a brief moment. I paid more attention to detail on body language and facial gestures. I believe that Manny Pacquiao didn’t expect Floyd Mayweather Jr to go through with the meet and greet.

Mayweather never seem to talk directly to Manny Pacquiao to give that sense of hate. The last thing that caught my attention was the forced hug at the end, Looked like it was planned and neither fighter wanted to go through with it.

Opinion: Mayweather vs Pacquiao

by

floyd988By Rick Jones III: The people have spoken. Every boxing fan in the world from casual to diehard have spoken. Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao is what everyone wants. The biggest bout in boxing history is about will be given to us “The Fans” finally after years of he said, or who said, and why not they said people.

I have been a boxing fan since the age of 8 years old and I haven’t seen this much talk about a fight in years. The main question I have is why is this taking so long? I have done my research, I have called in a few favors and came up with one thing that keeps popping up. Money.
