Adrien broner vs Manny Pac, winner gets floyd?

I dont think AB deserves that look but it makes sense if it's TRUE that Pac jus signed to Al Haymen

Even if Broner somehow won the fight against Manny. I don't see Floyd fighting Broner. It's not going to make him the type of money he wants.
 
Broner aint fighting manny..and Manny would eat him Broner would be preening and posing Manny would be hitting him like ehonda

Crawford's Coach: We Want Spence, Biggest Name For Us at 147
By Keith Idec

Brian McIntyre didn’t mince words Thursday.

Terence Crawford’s manager/trainer applied pressure on Crawford’s promoter, Top Rank Inc., to do whatever’s necessary to make the fights Crawford wants most. McIntyre admitted during a conference call that the only opponents that’ll interest Crawford after he defeats Jose Benavidez Jr. on October 13 are fights against fellow welterweight champions.

McIntyre named IBF champion Errol Spence Jr. as the most attractive future foe for Crawford. Shawn Porter (WBC) and Keith Thurman (WBA) are the other two 147-pound champions Crawford wants to fight.

“We want after the champions, man,” McIntyre said. “There is no reason to be fighting a No. 6 dude or a No. 7 dude. Terence wants the best fighters out there at 147, so I’m glad [Top Rank president] Todd [duBoef] is on this call, because we’ll put the heat on him. He’s the one who makes the fights happen. He could go to ESPN and make those fights happen. Terence wants the fights to happen. Let’s go. The only fights out there is the other champions.”

Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) said last month that a much-discussed showdown with Crawford won’t happen anytime soon because they have competing promotional and network affiliations. Crawford is promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank and fights on ESPN, whereas Spence is advised by Al Haymon and fights on Showtime.

“Right now, the biggest name at the welterweight division for Terence is Errol Spence,” McIntyre said. “So what we’ll do is, and I’m glad Todd on this call, is just put the pressure on him. ESPN is the leader in sports. They want to be the leader in boxing, they’re gonna go out and make those fights happen. So that’s what Terence wants. They want Terence to be the No. 1 fighter in the world, so they must do their job, we do our job, Todd do his job and then the whole job is going to be done.”

When a reporter pressed McIntyre on which welterweight champion Crawford realistically could fight next, assuming he beats Benavidez, duBoef interjected.

“I think we’re asking everybody to look into a crystal ball, right?,” duBoef said. “And project out what everybody else’s needs are and what somebody else wants to do. We’ve established what we wanna do, all right? We’re not gonna come up to a press conference and, I mean, this call is about Terence Crawford. I’m not gonna divert, like they did. They were giving us all the attention [September 8 at Barclays Center]. We’re gonna go after all those guys. We’re not allowing anything, no politics, no nothing, to get in the way. They wanna do it, we wanna do it, let’s just get it done. We’ll figure out a solution.”

Crawford-Spence likely would have to be a joint pay-per-view venture between ESPN and Showtime. DuBoef declined to discuss those details, yet emphasized that Top Rank is more than willing to work with Haymon to make Crawford-Spence a reality.

“I’m not gonna make a judgment today, on a phone call, without having a conversation with everybody involved, including them on the one side, and us,” duBoef said. “We are open to anything to make those big fights happen for Terence and Bo-Mac, right? That’s what we’re open to. We are not gonna be siloed into a formulaic way of doing things. We are open to everything.”

The 31-year-old Crawford will make the first defense of his WBO welterweight title versus Phoenix’s Benavidez (27-0, 18 KOs) a week from Saturday night. ESPN will televise their scheduled 12-rounder from CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, Crawford’s hometown.

Khan Annoyed: Mayweather Has Been Ducking Me For Years!

Bolton star Amir Khan is not very happy with some of the circulating rumors that Floyd Mayweather is going to return for a possible fight with Adrien Broner.

Mayweather, 41-years-old, retired from boxing back in August of 2017 - after stopping UFC superstar Conor McGregor in the tenth round of the cross-sports fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Khan has been in the running to face Mayweather for several years, but he was always passed over for other opponents. Back in September 2015, Khan was passed over in favor of his then training camp stablemate, Andre Berto.

Khan, in taking a big risk to push for a future Mayweather clash, moved up to a catch-weight of 155-pounds to challenge Canelo Alvarez for the WBC middleweight title on HBO Pay-Per-View. Khan was knocked out in the sixth round.

A few weeks ago, Mayweather revealed a video where he met face to face with former opponent Manny Pacquiao at a concert in Toyko, Japan. Mayweather and Pacquiao were both beating the drum for a planned rematch in the near future.

But, Mayweather would later reveal that he planned to take a tune-up or two before the Pacquiao rematch would take place.

One of the names been kicked around for Mayweather is Broner.

Khan, who picked up two wins in 2018 and is pushing for a major fight to close out the year or for early 2019 - and Mayweather is at the top of his list - if Mayweather actually decides to return to the ring.

"So I see a tweet that there’s talk about Floyd Mayweather possibly fighting ‘The Problem’ Adrien Broner. The only ‘problem’ here is Mayweather’s been ducking me for years because he knows styles make fights. My style would cause him a whole load of problems," Khan stated.

I think floyd/ Khan makes the most money. Especially in the UK.

But for fight fans and black America culture Floyd/ Broner would be live as fuck ......

It would be Floyd/zab levels of niggatry
 
honestly though....at this stage in their careers.....any combination of Floyd, Broner, Manny, Khan would do big numbers...

if the 4 of them were smart, they'd figure our some kind of series of fights they could do... the fans would eat it up...

I would 100% pay to see any of those fights

Crawford, SPence, Thurman, Porter, and still DAnny are the elites at welter right now...

Mikey gonna be there by next year.....

Hearn: Joshua vs. Miller Showdown Possible For Late 2019

Eddie Hearn, who promotes WBO, IBO, WBA, IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, says Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller (21-0-1, 18 KOs) is certainly a potential opponent in the future - but there are several obstacles before they get to that point.

Miller is part of a Hearn's DAZN streamed show on Saturday night, as the unbeaten heavyweight will face two-division world champion Tomasz Adamek in Chicago.

A win over Adamek will lead Miller down the road to a crack at the vacant WBA "regular" title - and winning that belt would make him fall in line for a mandatory shot at Joshua - provided the British star still has that title at that moment.

Miller and Joshua had a face to face confrontation in New York City, during a press conference earlier this year to promote Joshua's bout with Alexander Povetkin - who Joshua knocked out in seven rounds last month in Cardiff, Wales.

Miller and his team have aligned themselves with DAZN, who Hearn signed an eight year deal with, to gain some ground in securing that fight with Joshua.

"He is mandatory for that WBA 'regular' world title. He'll be looking at Fres Oquendo and Trevor Byran, trying to get a shot at that next," said Hearn to Sky Sports.

"Big Baby Miller is keeping nice and active. He's had some good wins - he's stopped Mariusz [Wach], which not many people do - he had a good win over Johann [Duhaupas]. Now he's in with Adamek.

"Miller is a real threat to the heavyweight division - a big puncher, huge in size and very, very strong. He's more durable than he looks. Of course he wants a shot at Anthony Joshua, everybody does, but I think his next move, realistically, is to challenge for the WBA 'regular' title. Then he can try and force a fight with Joshua towards the end of 2019."

Canelo vs. Fielding: All Networks, Platforms in Play, Says Gomez
By Steve Kim

In what was a rather surprising announcement, middleweight champion, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 KOs), announced on Twitter that he would be facing WBA 'regular' super middleweight titlist, Rocky Fielding, on December 15th at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

Eric Gomez, the president of Golden Boy Promotions, told BoxingScene.com on Friday afternoon from Kiev, Ukraine, "- Canelo wants to make history. He wanted to do something different. He's never fought at that weight but he wants to do something special.

"It's his first time fighting in New York, he's very excited to fight in 'the Mecca of Boxing' where Muhammad Ali and all the greats fought and he wants it to be a special event."

Alvarez is coming off a tough 12-round fight against Gennady Golovkin on September 15th, when Canelo secured a majority decision win to capture the WBC, WBA middleweight belts at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

For the Mexican star this is a rather quick turnaround but Gomez pointed out - "He's always in great shape, he's a young guy and he wants to prove that he'll fight anybody, anytime and he wants to be great."

And for the time being he will still be the WBC middleweight titlist.

"He's still going to be representing the WBC as the middleweight champion and he was given a voluntary defense," explained Gomez.

Now, the big question is just who will televise this event.

For years Canelo had been associated with HBO Sports which last week announced they were going to be leaving the boxing business after this year.

Gomez says that the network is still in play to broadcast this event.

But he added - "The broadcasting and pay-per-view and all that, it'll be determined in the next week or so."

As for which networks/platforms are in the running, Gomez said simply, "any and all."
