Sports / Re: England Vs Denmark: EURO 2020 Semi-Finals 2 - 1 (Live) by Dirkcoyt: 11:03pm On Jul 07, 2021
First of all congrat to England but Italy is winning that cup.

The Italians have the better midfield when they face the English side ! You could see Harry Kane dropping to the midfield to pick up the ball several time that’s to tell you the quality of the midfield!

And the English keeper is very terrible! He lacks composure, you can tell by the way he did several panic clearance and went to create unnecessary corner kicks by parrying balls that were clearly going goal kick!

The only grace they have is sterling tricks and Harry Kane instinct !

Apart from that? That Italian team will mail them in and out! Don’t be tricked by the Spain game. England can’t keep possession like Spain.

Sports / Re: Italy Vs Spain : EURO 2020 Semi-Finals (4 - 2) On Penalties On 6th July 2021 by Dirkcoyt: 10:53pm On Jul 06, 2021
Don’t kid yourself Italy will beat England or Denmark in final! You must understand the Italians are tacticians !

Why the Italians played so bad like that was because they knew they cannot stand a possession game with Spain so they didn’t try to play possession game with them so they stuck to their counter attacks against them!

Best believe against England or Denmark they will eat them like pasta la pizza!

It’s stupid to try play like Barcelona when we know Barca will always dominate the possession of any opposition!

Chellini and bonucci are enough to take care of that Harry Kane apart from Harry who is sharper to bypass that Italy defense ?

Definitely! Only Dana and his group of investors. If only boxing promoters are not blocking the best fights in boxing and killing the game, all UFC fighters would be training for boxing if you consider that they earn less than 1-10% of a boxer's payday.

Bro boxing politics is killing politics ! Just imagine the sudden arbitration decision that killed the Aj vs fury fight yet bob arum was yapping about arbitration under control.

And how many times we have to see Deontae and fury?! And now we are stuck wth uysk and AJ still not complete and the talk of Ruiz for trilogy!

For me fights I want to see .

Dillian vs wilder
Aj vs fury,
Joyce vs uysk (as heavyweight)
Ruiz vs dilian/Luis Ortiz
Hrgovic vs Efe ajagba
Enroll Spence vs Terrence bud Crawford (not some yapping about old pacquiao)
Teofimo lopez vs devin haney/tank davis

This are fighter that will bring back the sport of boxing!

I’m tired of wasting data’s watching boxing news on different YouTube channels and all we get is just we will, we should , have agreed but not signed , money problem, venue problem sh1t and all!

I wonder how these guys even survive? Maybe independent sponsorship deals? Cos they will have to pay coaches, pay for their gym, travel costs, etc. In the western world, that money will finish faster than I can blink, taking all these associated costs into consideration.. What about insurance, etc..

I am hoping they make up in sponsorship deals, what they lack in fight night pay.

Many will go broke faster after the career ends . Only DANA wins !

That's why all these MMA guys are calling out YouTubers, Jake and Logan for a payday... That is why a legend like Silva still went into boxing even at 46 with that Legend's son this past weekend.
That's why most boxers will not go to MMA when there is a cross sports fight... If Mayweather fought Conor in the Octagon, they wouldn't make as much money.

The world of boxing in terms of promotion is a bit more decentralised, much more historic and have still way more followers and sponsorship and the boxers still have a lot of power especially when you already have star power... If Izzy had this same amount of fame and talent in the world of boxing, he will be contending for the top tier of the highest sports earners in the world.

Look at Woodley, he would probably make more money fighting Jake Paul than all his last 4 fights in the UFC combined.

It’s very embarrassing! What’s the problem with the pay? Is it Dana white or lack of promotion or just nothing?

Cause truth be told UFC is very popular now. And considering the risk of taking a fist and a kick that’s an abysmal payout . They’re all calling out boxers. And honestly the youtubers have got the money to salvage these poor MMA boys. Connor was smart to taste the cookie very early before that scope was .....

Bro really I was surprised many on the thread are saying big money then I knew many don’t know a thing about combat sport . That’s a very poor money very poor compared to the risk involve ! That’s like saying cause a doctor earn 500,000naira in Nigeria he’s rich when his American counterpart put in as much effprt as he does and gets way over that !

This is cheap asś money! Those who follows boxing will tell you! Come on izzy is a ducking champion and star ! How the hell do you pay him 500,000$! Do you know how much a star of his magnitude is paid in boxing! I’ve just learnt a big difference today that being in the news doesn’t make you rich!

I’ve considered boxing a dying sport compared to other sport but still pull in the ratios . Boeing was more popular in the 80s-2000s ! Imagine UFC enjoying almost the same popularity boxing once had and all it could pay some of his biggest brand name is a meager 500,000$! Pathetic for all the noise about UFC.

If the biggest MMA sport is pay a paltry 500,000$ to its tops stars then one wonder what Glory kickboxing, one championship and bellator would be paying their fighters ! BOXING � is still the biggest paying combat fücking sport!
