Comments Thread For: Showtime, Golden Boy Defend August 9 Brooklyn Show

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It didn’t take long for the grumbling and collective eye-rolling to begin once Showtime and Golden Boy Promotions announced the lineup for the August 9 show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Unbeaten super lightweight king Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson - an alphabet titlist in the same weight class – were rumored for the show for weeks, but will appear in separate bouts rather than in a head-on collision. Garcia defends his crown versus unheralded Rod Salka, whose biggest win came two divisions south in an upset of previously unbeaten 130 lb. prospect Alexei Collado this past April.

You could thank Al for the !@#$! match making and all about the protecting his investment.

Showtime is trying to tale credit for making fights that were suppose to be mismatches, that weren't.

It doesn't work that way, and doesn't give them the right to make more paper mismatches, and than say, "hey you never know".

22/23 fights on Showtime have all been won by the GBP/Haymon fighter. That's ridiculous.. And i recommend no one tunes into this fight, or this nonsense will continue.

When you look at it that way...... Nah

[Aztekkas]

Yeah, reallllll dangerous fights you have there, Oscar.

If you have to defend it then you know its Bullshiet!

[Hougigo]

Seriously.... What's the point of having all the quality fighters in and around the weight class if you don't let them fight each other.

Other fights we would say network or promoter.... Here we say just don't want to

Trying to defend this is like being a lawyer for a child molester. No way to save face because you are defending ****!

[millcitymauler]

Listen to these guys trying to shine up this zhit.

As a long time fan, its ****ing insulting how they made this fight and defend it when we tell them how much we don't like it.

We pay for this ****!
