901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: July 02, 2023, 08:09:13 PM

Donaire was a great example of a true champion, as he was well aware that Inoue could beat him again, and yet he still risked a unification match to test himself against Inoue once more.
Inoue is also a great example as he always seeks to fight the best opponents, which is why he became an undisputed champion in the bantamweight division. After winning, he wasted no time in moving up for the super bantamweight title match. If he succeeds again, it would be a tremendous accomplishment, and I am certain he will continue pushing his limits.

He had to climb in ranks though, as he started is fights all in Japan, but his handlers knows his true potential and they have been given the chance to fight in the US and be exposed from boxing fans because of Bob Arum.

So we might hate Bob Arum and Top Rank, but surely they know how to promote a fighter like Manny Pacquiao. And after winning the WBSS tournament, Inoue become a household name in the US and then he started his path to defeat all great fighters unifying all the belts.

Now, his journey continues as he might want to do it at 122 lbs.

There will be a time in the future for sure that he will have to fight in other countries like in US or somewhere in Europe, or even in the Middle East if Inoue will face an opponent that have a much bigger name than him. But not now because the organizer and promoter is more inclined to make the fight happen in Japan as it was already evident that they can generate big profits in that certain country and considering that Inoue won this fight and will take the undisputed fight, I'm also confident that they will contest the fight in Japan again instead of the Philippines where Marlon Tapales came from.

I agree, but somewhat if Inoue really wanted to become bigger, then USA should be the place where he should conquer. He is now even compare to Manny as both come from Asia and even Mike Tyson praises Inoue and says that he is even better than Pacquiao.

But Manny didn't fight in his home country, but instead all of his fight is in the US soil during his ran that's why he become a legend.

I think Inoue should learn from that. Bob Arum is his manager and for sure he also knows that because he created that blue print. If this fight is in the US, it's going to be huge. Right now it seems that Inoue doesn't want to get out of his comfort zone, just saying.

That is not the reason why Manny Pacquiao had most of his fights abroad and not in his own land, after all boxing industry is a business industry, and for Manny Pacquiao to earn huge profits from the fights he had, he will be needing to fight abroad where there's a lot of money that can be generated.

Because if only Manny Pacquiao can have the same revenues inside the Philippines, then he could've done that already because aside from having the crowd advantage, he will be no longer needed to adjust in a certain country just to train.

Exactly, and that's what I'm trying to drive at the at that argument that Inoue should be fighting in States more often and not in his country. Sure he can make money, but maybe he can do it in the tail end of his career. Now that he is at the top and peak, he should go to Vegas and fight or San Antonio where Manny started to make a big name by beating Marco Antonio Barrera.

As compare to Manny who doesn't have a option but to be in the US because there is no incentive of him fighting in the Philippines.

Inoue has built a name already in the US and he could capitalized from it by fighting in the US in my opinion.

Naoya Inoue had no quarrels whether he will fight inside Japan, in US or in any other country. It's just that organizers and Bob Arum prefer to make the fight happen in Inoue's backyard because they might have already compared the revenues to other places and it's much more suitable for Inoue to challenge Fulton in Japan as that will generate more profits for them.

Inoue can have this fight in a US soil but I guess it is already established that more money can be made in Japan where Inoue is already an icon rather than in US where Fulton is not yet considered in that level.

It is too early to say that he will indeed retire from his national team for good and will not play anymore in the upcoming world cup tournament, and will just give his focus in his current team which is the Inter-Miami while spending some more time with his family in the US.

I mean, it is not really the first time where Messi said that he will retire and if I recall it correctly, he said the same thing after the disappointment loss against Chile in the Copa America in 2016.

From the available signs; it is looking increasingly certain that both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi would participate at the next world cup in Canada/Mexico/United States. Either they are fit to play, or fit for the bench sides; both iconic players will appear at the worldcup; i believe it will be their final international and football appearance.

The coming worldcup is one that will be super interesting and also epic. Theres so much to look forward to!

That might be the case especially Lionel Messi because he's much younger compared to Cristiano Ronaldo who have also said coincidentally that Euro 2024 will be his last dance together with his team. But I don't really believe fully that both named superstars will just retire like that because World Cup 2026 is a big event and that will be the most suitable event to make a statement for their exit in the sport.

Very soon, the truth will prevail and we will know the reason why this was done, or we may never know, but I really don't think that there is going to be a serious cage fight between two tech giants and billionaires who even if have something going on, this is not necessary for that.

There isn’t going to be any fight. As for a reason on why this fight was even conceived in the first place, who knows? I think this was done for jokes and to see how people would speculate about who would turn out the winner. I bet both of them would be laughing their asses off while reading comments and seeing both their social media apps flood with posts about the fight.
I would think this was done to remain relevant and be still talked about and trending but those two are always trending and talked about. They’re billionaires with their own social media apps.

Exactly. There ain't going to be no fight since both have nothing they are fighting for. If someone should ask them. What are they fighting for? What will be their answer or explanation? Will they answer that we are fighting for who owns the social media space or who is richer or loved by many? I think they will have no answer to that.
Wherever they are now, they will be cajoled themselves that we are gullible to ever think that the fight will hold
They both probably just wanted to know who was more popular among their fans so they made the fight. But there are many other reasons behind the fight that we don't really know and make us wonder what they mean. They are billionaires and almost everyone knows it and there is no point in them fighting, especially if it is a physical fight. They may combine their ideas to create a company that doesn't exist yet and works together to develop it into a giant company that can bring them enormous profits. But in the end, there was no fight between them.

I can't really say if it will happen or not as I don't see or heard something that is worth fighting for, I mean they are both a successful men in their generation, and there is no need to prove those things in a fight as they will just be a laughing stock in the public, fighting for nothing.

But aside from that, I think there's something going on behind the scenes that only Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg knows. I cannot say what it is because I don't know either and it will be revealed once a fight date will be announced soon. But if there will be no fight that will be announced next month, I guess they are just fooling around and even drag White with it.
904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 02, 2023, 05:37:27 PM

Of course, it does matter because at 168, Canelo got of belts to defend and while he might be the stronger one, but his win is not guaranteed and that is also the reason why he's definitely thinking twice before giving what Bivol wanted because as per the last discussion they have made, Canelo tried to purse the fight at 175 but Bivol and his team declined.

Bivol's situation is very different compared to Golovkin's because it was the latter who pursued the trilogy and waited for a couple of years before Canelo finally agreed as Canelo doesn't have much choice at that time because it was a 3-fight deal which included the trilogy and Bivol fight before that. While Bivol is not the one right now who is chasing, it is Canelo.

For Canelo Alvarez, he is ready again to face Jermall Charlo but Charlo is not ready by September for a Canelo fight because of his 2 years break Jermell Charlo the brother of Jermall Charlo will be stepping in to fight Canelo Alvarez, so Bivol fight will have to wait, but Canelo Alvarez is surely chasing this fight because he hasn't had much time because he is getting older and father time is always after every boxer and fighter for sure, Canelo is not exempted on this and that lost to Dmitry Bivol is one that he hates and so he is pursuing this fight for himself,


It is really hard to forget Canelo Alvarez's expressions inside the ring because he just cannot hide how frustrated he was as he cannot really give something good towards Bivol to make the fight in his favor, even the judges tried to help him, but it was just so clear that Bivol is too dominant inside his own division. Canelo probably thought that he can have the belt once again as he managed to defeat Sergey Kovalev few years back in the same division.
905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: July 01, 2023, 09:05:54 PM
Saw some sparring clips of Inoue in Twitter, and it seems he looks huge at 122 lbs, or maybe he was in the fighting weight as we still have a month to go. And even Tank Davis is hype as well and he said that he is going to watch the fight.

So there is a big buzz on Inoue, and I do agree that the fight should have been made in the US so they he will still get the needed exposure to the audience. Maybe in his next fight, it could be in US against Tapales (if he wins here).

If the demands will call it out for sure we might see that happen, if Inoue will manage to win against Fulton and he decide to
unify again all the belts in this division.

Sure thing that promoters will aim for a bigger venue, the timing for Inoue and Tapales might be very crucial as they needed to gain
that attention to make sure that the fight will earn decent viewership.

Let's wait for the outcome of this upcoming fight and see what will be the next thing that will happen.

As far as I know there will be unification fight, Marlon Tapales the Filipino who upset Akhmadaliev to win the 2 belt, is just watching and waiting in the side as he will be fighting the winner of this match.

So there is a big chance that Inoue will not only become a 2 belt champion, he could be the first boxer to unify all the belts in the 4 belts era in 2 divisions. So that will be huge. But first he needs to beat Fulton on July 25 and then goes for Tapales next.

It's not that hard to make it reality as long as Inoue will manage to defeat Fulton in the process even though there's no news as of now about the upcoming unification fight because it is still premature to even talk about that. Before that, there is this chance that Fulton or PBC will likely make a rematch if in-case the fight is quite close because Fulton's climb after the fight is not yet guaranteed.

It's worth noting that both Inoue and Crawford is aiming for the same thing and that is to be the first boxer to attain a two undisputed title in two separate division in the four belt era. It's just that Terence Crawford is the nearest one right now to achieve that title.

The problem is that he is a big brand and his participation will be beneficial for the organizers and everyone in general (except for the Argentinean national team), so one way or another he can be persuaded to participate.

yeah, Messi is a big brand and would increase viewership for sure
but, his experience will also be a good thing for Argentine team, although I don't see them as potential winner

defending title is not so often, and they seem not good enough to do that
Lionel Messi is currently a football icon, apart from Lionel Messi there is the name Cristiano Ronaldo who also has a large fan base and he is also a football icon. Their presence will surely invite many people to see it, of course the attractiveness of these two players has its own charm for football connoisseurs. Although now he is old and most likely a few more seasons will completely stop being a professional player.

I agree with you, that not only is he a football icon, he also has a lot of positive impact on the team when he is in the squad. Surely other players who play with him will be more motivated to be able to give the best from their performances.

Messi is a soccer icon in Argentina, almost like Jesus.
When Messi thought about giving up playing for the national team a few years ago, it was almost a national tragedy.
His influence on the Argentine national team is huge and if he had not played for Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar, I think Argentina would not have become world champions.
On that side, I think it would be very important for Argentina that Messi be part of their team at the next World Cup, even if he won't play for the national team.


It is too early to say that he will indeed retire from his national team for good and will not play anymore in the upcoming world cup tournament, and will just give his focus in his current team which is the Inter-Miami while spending some more time with his family in the US.

I mean, it is not really the first time where Messi said that he will retire and if I recall it correctly, he said the same thing after the disappointment loss against Chile in the Copa America in 2016.

Looks like D-Lo just resigned with the Lakers. It’s not a massive contract so I guess they just wanted to make sure to have a legitimate point guard for the rest of LeBron’s time in LA. I sort of figured he would be part of a sign and trade given how poorly he did in the playoffs this year, but it means we probably won’t be seeing Dame in LA.

It is a 2-year deal worth $37 Million and it was also rumored that Jarred Vanderbilt will also join as the Los Angeles Lakers squad as they are planning to give him a 1-year deal worth $4.7 Million.

Summer season is not yet finished so we will likely see some movements while we are approaching another season.

While for Dame Lillard, it seems that Miami Heat will be his landing option and at least he will have a chance there to win a chip before he retires. He should've made this statement a couple of weeks back so that the Lakers can have some time to allocate him but anyway, that is not the case anymore.
908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: July 01, 2023, 06:31:42 PM
It's too hard to get your attarction diverted from gambling. Why ?
Because there are no programs that can make you rich and play games while earning money at the same time. I have seen people who try to make themselves busy in other things , try to find the other hobbies but in the end they revert back to gambling because there is nothing like gambling. There is no substitute for gambling.
That's really bad if someone have such mind.

There are many ways to earn money, it's not only through gambling. Currently people are just lazy to learn a new thing that can boost them to get a better job or higher position.

You're wrong if there's no substitute to get rich and play games except gambling, you can become a pro player in a competitive game, if you joined a big team, you will get monthly salary and bonus for win.

Definitely a wrong mindset to begin with and hopefully that kind of mindset will not be shared through his circles or given as advice as it can lead them into a wrong path.

Folks, as long as we are still alive, we also have the chance to change our life because all the situations we have, may it rough or smooth, is certainly a temporary thing. Having that kind of mindset is just the very same thing as you already given up before you even tried and besides, everything has a start, just like how you learned and started your gambling journey.
909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermall Charlo Super Middleweight (September 16) on: July 01, 2023, 06:03:44 PM
So, it's officially announced earlier that Jermall Charlo will move up in weight to challenge Canelo Alvarez which i think is the best fight for Canelo this year as a rematch with Bivol is too risky and yet he has nothing to gain if it will be in the SMW division.

What do you think of this fight guys, still cherry picking or Charlo will give Canelo a run for his money?

I never thought I would see a statement saying that a certain fight will be risky for Canelo after being the king of the super middleweight division hehehhee. I reckon Bivol is showing the Irish looking Mexican that he cannot be dictated into a rematch in light heavyweight hehe.

For this fight, I am shaking my head that only 3 people voted for Canelo by decision. This is a very clear outcome. If Canelo cannot knockout Ryder, it might also be difficult for him to knockout Charlo.

In any case, where is David Benavidez? Canelo is avoiding the future king?
I think @bisdak40 meant that it will be risky for Canelo because he is the undisputed champion and for sure that will be on the line while Bivol got nothing to lose at 168 because he doesn't have any belts in that division. But if Canelo is confident that he can defend it then what is the hold up? Grin

In any case, where is David Benavidez? Canelo is avoiding the future king
I honestly thought that David Benavidez will have his chance after Canelo's tune-up fight against Ryder but sadly, it was not the case because even if we say that Charlo is durable, I reckon it is still counted as cherry picking instead of fighting a rising star that is looking to replace him on his throne.
If only WBC is not a money licking organization, I guess Benavidez already had his chance because he got the interim belt.

Hello I am looking to invest my 20,000 dollars for retirement but I don't know the best crypto for me to put into to save myself from inflation. I'm 64 years old and don't have the time to learn the ins and outs of this crypto stuff so if anyone can give me advice I would appreciate it.
You can contact me through the forum or via email I appreciate the help
I don’t think you’re ready to take the risk and invest your hard-earned money. Crypto investment is not as easy as you think that you can be profitable in it without the investor’s personal knowledge and experience in crypto market. You should learn the dos and dont’s first and gain adequate knowledge before you decide to invest so you can avoid regretting in the end seeing all your hard-earned money had gone into waste. Furthermore, once you’re ready enough, I suggest to stick with bitcoin and accumulate as much as you can while the price is still cheap. But always remember, as a newbie in crypto, invest with a small budget first since you are still in the process of learning and absorbing everything you need. Let your experience manage the rest.
911  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Better to have a trading knowledge than depending on signals. on: June 29, 2023, 01:44:29 PM
I’m not an expert nor professional trader in the first place but paying for trading signals is not always commendable since trading signals alone are not always trustworthy. And the fact that you cannot get complete assurance that those signals are provided by professional traders so it’s certainly more risky to rely on them than to believe on your own ability to analyze the market well.

Trading has its own inevitable losses and believe me, the more you trade without personal knowledge and skills as a trader, the bigger the chances that you’ll be more susceptible to losses. That is why if you don’t want to familiarize yourself about trading and decide to stop learning because you believe that paid trading signals will make it happen, then you’re totally wrong. You should not be trading in the first place if you only rely for other people to trade for you.

Hay, I am New here and know about Bitcoin for the last few years but I lost many times in crypto trading. So my question is that how to trade Securely and profitably? And what are the rules and regulations for me that must follow this platform recommended some close ones will say you will learn from this platform so much and I hope to recover from the loss and get a lot of benefits and knowledge gain that is why I am very excited to hear.
To recover a lost in trading is something I see that will be difficult unless you find your way to learn more about trading and ensure that those mistakes that made you to lose your fund's during the previous trading has been correct, so learning is the primary thing we should do to correct all our previous mistakes. But in the aspect  having in mind to recover trade without correcting your mistakes
The forum itself cannot guarantee that you will recover all your previous losses because even if you have acquired sufficient knowledge, that will never work completely unless you’ll gain experiences in trading which will help you to hone your skills and master your strategies when trading in the market. Hence, you will learn to correct your past mistakes and will avoid doing the same mistakes again because that will only lead to more losses if ever. However, learning from the forum is still very essential so you will be familiar with how trading works and how you’ll take an advantage on it.
913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think it's still wrong selling properties for Bitcoin? on: June 28, 2023, 09:59:12 PM
Selling your property to start with bitcoin investment makes a bad impression for me. That is because you intend to acquire losses already before you make profits with bitcoin. Although some may be brave enough to take the risk and paid off their investments, but it does not happen to all first time bitcoin investors. Most of them resort into losing maybe because they are also not completely aware on the investment they are entering. So just to stay at a safety zone and be free from big losses, always invest at your own risk by just putting a small amount that you can manage to lose.
914  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I Use Emergency funds or Sell my Assets ? on: June 28, 2023, 09:25:41 PM
I reluctantly followed the counsel of a financial advisor to fix my finances in order by creating a budget and tracking my expenses, inflow and outflow of cash using an excel sheet. The economy has been crazy in my country so I needed to do something urgently. My greatest realization after this is that inflation all round is destroying my budget. It's been  five months now. I am torn between using my emergency funds or selling some of my assets to cushion the effect of this economic situation. What do you suggest I do?
You are in a difficult situation, selling your assets during a difficult period of time is exactly what everyone which is facing major problems does, meaning that if you do so now then you will have to sell your assets for a discount, and when we add the high inflation on top of that your losses will be even bigger, if I were you I would try to solve my problems without relying on either of those two options and find a way to reduce my expenses even further, but if I had no choice I would use my emergency fund first, I will keep holding my assets and I would only sell them as a last resort.
Everyone is actually facing financial struggles with this never ending inflation. Most especially for those low-income earners as they will really face a hard time in making their ends meet. However, with regards to your situation, I don’t think using any of those option is advisable at the moment. Instead, learn to accept some side hustles that will fit your skills, that way you will gain additional income. And as much as possible, know the things that are necessary to buy and disregard those are not. Sooner you will find it easier to handle your finances.
915  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Beginners Should Follow These To Be A Good Price Predictor on: June 28, 2023, 08:56:36 PM
Among the list, I can add is Risk Management.

Risk management is very important and even if you are a "beginner" I can say that practice this even with how much capital you have on trading, you need to already have risk management. Practice it.
Always remember that risk management is not about ensuring profits, but rather about reducing potential losses and safeguarding your capital.
Taking risk in trading is a big step for an aspiring trader but knowing how to manage the risk will develop a great trader in the future. That’s why risk management is very much essential because if you know nothing about it, you will never be successful in your endeavor, especially if you aim to be a good price predictor that will lead into being a successful trader. While trading has its own inevitable risk of losing, but know that you can always minimize the risk if you know how risk management works.

However according to some bitcoin trading expert's on YouTube, they will tell you they've gotten their fingers burnt a lot of times.
All sorts of traders have at some point or the other gotten burnt and experienced losses, it is not peculiar to Bitcoin traders but experienced by everyone who trades any currency.

If you trade according to amounts you can easily afford to lose, your emotions would not affect you that much. You would need a bit of control to be able to resist the urge to close trades early but without much stake you would be able to stay on top of that.
Trading is a battle of your brain and emotions so you need not to do things that will easily affect your emotions as that could also ruin your future trades. However, know that all traders experience their downturns in trading especially if they resort into consistent losing and just feel like quitting, but that is normal for all traders. Just remember that no one actually wins and make profits if you decide to quit in the end and just throw all your time and efforts.

There is never too late to join with Bitcoins; yes, you missed a golden opportunity in 2016, but at the current price of Bitcoins, it’s not less than any golden opportunity. It’s always ideal to never invest your hard-earned money on other people’s advice. It’s always beneficial that you should do a personal research and then only invest in that. I'm glad to see that you finally found out so many things about Bitcoins and also about this amazing forum. Now don’t think about or regret your past. Just right now, buy as many Bitcoins as you can and hold them for some time.
Bitcoin regardless of its price will always be a good and valuable investment so which means everyday is a good time to invest. And as long as you invest an amount that you can afford and that you can easily manage to lose, then that’s perfect  knowing you did also an intensive research before investing. I just hope this time you will come to take advantage every opportunity that comes and not just be influenced by other people’s decisions. Bitcoin is legit and reputable investment so just keep your faith and always trust the process.

There's no official betting odds but we can see some odds from https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/boxing/opening-odds-canelo-alvarez-vs-jermall-charlo-fight-september-16th-2023/

Quote
Canelo Alvarez vs Jermall Charlo Odds
Fighter   Odds
Canelo Alvarez   -240
Jermall Charlo   +182

As you can see, Canelo is the heavy favorite although he might be facing a tough challenger, so if some of you here believe that Charlo will win, that +182 odds is good for you, $100 to win $182.

Thanks bro, just as I expected, the odds are much closer than for the Canelo vs Ryder bout.

These are official, you can bet them at FanDuel.


If you are aiming to make a huge win, Charlo would be a good choice. The likelihood of him winning however is less 50%. Risk is a risk.
If you have to bet for Canelo for a bigger win, choosing which round where the fight might be stopped or Charlo gets KOed is an option. It's possible on the 5th. It would surprise me if Charlo lasts 5th round. 

A long wait for Bivol's rematch since he has to finish that PBC contract til Benavidez. Benavidez is still a good match for him.

The Bivol rematch might happen next year or maybe we will not see that happening at all as Canelo is with PBC now. Bivol is with Eddie Hearn and Match room so I doubt that they are going to work out as Canelo's contract with PBC is exclusive for a 3 fight deal.

I wouldn't go and bet for Charlo to win though, as discussed, long lay-offs and then he going up in weight.

Might be interesting if he can last the full 12 rounds as that could be a good odds.

That was an unexpected news because I thought that Canelo Alvarez was already good under Eddie Hearn's banner, but it seems to me that it wasn't the case because he is now with PBC. Quite interesting, honestly, because I'm seriously thinking that Canelo and his team is aiming something that only PBC can do and achieve that for him, and not Eddie Hearn. We know that PBC got a good relationship with the judge's and sanctioning bodies, so that might be the reason or something that is more interesting.

For sure, that is what we know because that is what they want for us to know but somehow, I like to think that it is safe to say that they are cooking something behind the curtain hence the sudden climb made by Canelo himself.

Too soon to think about that because we now have something on our plate, so it's best to focus on what we have as it is likely that Canelo will still pursue Bivol after his fight with Charlo, regardless of the result.
919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - June 17 on: June 26, 2023, 07:40:51 PM
Well, Eddie Hearn is a huge boxing fan himself and is probably the biggest promoter right now and is a master in the business with superstars Canelo, AJ, and fighters from other promoters that fight in DAZN except GBP which has its own exclusive contract with the network. His 500k-600k is a good estimate and is already a big success given these economic hard times.

This fight though has real potential of breaking a million PPV buys. I also believe that tickets will be sold out quickly. So far PBC has named Pitbull Cruz battling against Giovanni Cabrera in the undercards probably to get the huge Latino boxing community.

In terms of the live gate's tickets, there is no question at all that it will be sold out quickly just like what Garcia vs Davis fight did or pretty much faster than that because we have to include the fact that there will be some businessmen who are having some business in gaining these tickets as fast as possible so that they can sell it in a much higher price. But when it comes to PPV buys, I doubt that they can break a million of it because the world is getting modern each day and big fights like this are almost shown for free in some sources like Facebook live or even YouTube because they are seeking the viewers as well in-exchange for some voluntary amounts to watch the fight live.

As far as Eddie Hearn, he says that PBC, Top Rank and Golden Boy doesn't want him promoting in the US.

As for the PPV buys, I do agree, I don't see the fight getting or breaking the 1 million PPV buys, not a hater but they will be lucky to get 500,000 PPV. Still the king of PPV for this year is Ryan Garcia vs Tank Davis.

Live gates must be different though, it could be sold out by now and only premium tickets might be available.

Were we expecting the Garcia vs. Davis fight to reach at least 1 million PPV buys? I believe the expectation was around 500k, give or take. Therefore, I think the Spence and Crawford fight is somewhat undervalued. It's possible that we might be surprised if they surpass the 1.2 million PPV buys of the Garcia vs. Davis fight.

It's good if Crawford-Spence PPV reaches or breaks 1.2 buys because it actually deserves knowing this is for the undisputed title and between 2 undefeated fighters. Davis and Garcia were not world champions but they are popular. Garcia is unproven but he is a celebrity outside of boxing with millions of followers. Tank Davis is gifted with explosive hands and is carefully matched by Mayweather, PBC, and Showtime against nobodies, has-beens, and other exploitation techniques. PBC has a huge following of African-Americans and many of them are casuals that would enjoy a Tank KO win against a bum than Spence winning a hard decision or a hard fight against another top-caliber opponent like Ugas.

So without serious trash-talking and bad blood, this fight might not reach a million buys.

So far though I haven't heard any serious trash talked between the two.

For the Davis vs Garcia fight, the build up was slow, but days before the fight we have heard about the rehydration clause and then trash talking by Ryan Garcia himself. They also need to put up a good lineup in the undercard, so far the only name that I can see it Pitbull Cruz, not sure though if he can bring lots of fans to watch the fight itself. Which mean those who are going to buy are willing to spend money to watch other fight not just the main card.

I guess they were just too busy doing their own preparations and rigorous trainings because they know right from the start that this fight is not something that they can call an ordinary fight as both of them got some serious skills that is not good to underestimate with. Just a guess though but that might be the reason why both camp is so silent these days.

As for the Garcia-Davis fight, I think we already know the rehydration clause much earlier and not just few days before the day of their fight as that clause was included on their deal. Safe to say that if Ryan Garcia and his camp will not accept the rehydration clause, there will be no fight.

Gambling isn’t sure money. We have often heard people saying, “The house always wins”, so yes, only the casino owner gets profit by the gambling. You can try gambling as a secondary source of income, but shouldn’t completely rely on it. As gambling is a game of chance and luck, not skill, for this reason, the possibility of getting loss is very high compared to the possibility of getting profit. If you have a family to look after, or tons of regular bills to pay, then yes apart from gambling you also need to do some serious jobs.

Simply agree with you. Because it's quite absurd to see people who make gambling their main job and even leave their jobs in the office. Even though the money they get from gambling is also not as big as what they got from their previous job, and even worse they end up poor and their family is falling apart. Because to be honest, some people I know, who put their lives on the line, didn't have a happy ending, most of them were broke and their families were falling apart. That is why putting one's life at stake is such a stupid thing to do.

It's really a risky move to make gambling as a main source of income because it holds so much risk than any other possible jobs that you could get. You could turn out broke just because of playing gambling, what more if you'll treat it as a main job that will help your survive everyday. The pressure and the expectation from yourself will be higher that could result to being unable to play strategically and at ease which could certainly affect the outcome of your plays and bets. Additionally, the earnings won't be as stable so you shouldn't really expect and rely on it fully because the high hopes you have for it might turn into a nightmare situation.

Of course, gambling cannot be a steady income haven and it cannot produce the same profits everyday as it's just too impossible to hope for a successive wins without having any losses in a certain day of the week as you will need to gather all the luck in the world together to have a straight wins. But we cannot also deny that there are some people who takes gambling as a professional job as that term is not that new anymore but I surely don't believe that they don't have any generated incomes on the side to keep up with their lifestyle because being a professional gambler is just a risky job, one blink and you can lose everything you have, that's why it's more preferred to have a wide array of investments as another faucet of income.
