Wow, is it a pay-per-view week again? Time flies when you’re paying huge amounts to view sporting events of dubious quality. Not that there’s anything wrong with the main event rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Marcos Maidana on Saturday, it’s just that the undercard is a load of bollocks. Though there are big names, they’re in fights […]

As we hit midweek, what are you buzzing about most: Floyd Mayweather-Marcos Maidana this coming Saturday, or Lucas Matthysse-John Molina (above, captured by Showtime’s Esther Lin) from last Saturday? I vote Matthysse-Molina, still. It’s the clubhouse leader for Fight of the Year, enhanced by the surprise of getting a brawl of a caliber we didn’t […]
