Simple, and Floyd is pumping this in the post fight PR, it was entertainment, it draw huge interest (in Japan and likely ratings), it goes on neither's record, and Tenshin is not a boxer, who lost to the (for the sake of argument) the best boxer out there. Plus they can then pump him up on a redemption thing (even though he's undefeated). It's not like Tenshin had real international appeal that was damaged by this. The James Harden flops were kind of weird though.

http://twitter.com/jarkin770/status/1091736331426897920?s=21 If anyone is desperate for hobo boxing tonight. I'll cop to getting the first event with fite credit and eh I didn't realize it was just boxing vs MMA. I'm pretty sure there is boxing on ESPN and probably a better choice, but I had no clue where else to stick this tweet.

MMM Whatchya Say posted:Yeah Alvarez-Kovalev II is tonight, which also features a decent fight for Richard Commey as well as showcase fights for Oscar Valdez and Teofimo Lopez, AKA the dude who does Fortnite dances over his opponents after knocking them out. Cool I might check that out too depending on how UFC Fight Night goes (or catch a replay), but yeah that sounds significantly better then Bare Knuckle fighting.

kimbo305 posted:Is this the one that Bas was associated with that had cashflow issues? It's the one that first ran last year in Wyoming, but I don't recall hearing Bas mentioned. I'm not sure though. Jack B Nimble posted:It's funny that, when I saw "bareknuckle" my first thought was "savage stunt for people who just want to see blood" and it took a moment for the followup thought of "well now, isn't there an argument that the lack of padding actually makes it safer by reducing repeat concussions?" It's funny I've heard that thought process too. I only refer to it as hobo boxing as a lot of the dudes are in terrible shape. I'm also surprised it's only boxing vs MMA.

kimbo305 posted:Apparently Bas' is WBKFF, and this is the BKFC. Okay that makes sense I remember seeing some other BK group pop up on Fite TV some time after the first once. Also made a GDT thread https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3881240&perpage=40
