On today’s episode of Thaboxingvoice’s live radio show, our hosts discuss every and all facet from last night’s plethora of fights, including the highly anticipated junior featherweight unification bout between Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg, which took place in front of 20,000 fans at the sold-out Manchester Arena. There is plenty to discuss about this fight, namely how a fighter can hope to capitalize off a relatively bad outing.

Fans and media have responded to last night’s Frampton-Quigg matchup in the toughest way, with “The Beeb” and Mario making claims regarding this fight’s massive potential, how will they retort those claims from last show. Nes, on the other hand, made it a point to question the very essence of this fight and how it would end up, listen in while he surely decides to reflect on the fights.

We will undoubtedly discuss the ShowTime card featuring Leo Santa Cruz and Kiko Martinez as well as the HBO card which featured Terence Crawford-Hank Lundy, plus both undercards.

Frampton told BBC Radio 5 Live afterwards: 'I did what I had to do to make it easy for myself. I couldn't believe what was going on when I heard the split decision - I felt I was a comfortable winner - but it's onwards and upwards for me now.

'I knew it was going to be a tactical fight all along and a bit timid but you have to do what it takes to win. I'm not going to rush into silly punches. You have to be smart. I was and I got the win.'

On today’s episode of Thaboxingvoice Radio Show, the panel discusses the big showdown between two of the best little guys in the sport as Carl Frampton puts his IBF junior featherweight title on the line in a unification bout against Scott Quigg and his WBA junior featherweight title. While there is a considerable difference between star recognition in the UK and the US, this fight breaks through the barrier because of its significance in the sport. As it stands, Frampton-Quigg is a top 10 fight in the sport of boxing, regardless of weight class.

 

While it has been a relatively slow month for boxing, the action picks up this weekend and we will breakdown the remaining matchups of significance. Terence Crawford and Hank Lundy are fighting on HBO with rising Puerto Rican star Felix Verdejo in the co-feature.

 

ShowTime will show Frampton-Quigg in the afternoon, but later that evening we will see Leo Santa Cruz and Kiko Martinez square off and our panel will breakdown this noteworthy matchup as well.

 

Today’s guests will be junior middleweight, Julian Williams, as he discusses his upcoming IBF title eliminator against Marcello Matano and featherweight Abner Mares, who will give us an update on his next outing now that the proposed date for his matchup with Fernando Montiel has been scrapped.

Also, on Saturday Felix Sturm beat WBA Super World Super Middleweight Champion  Fedor Chudinov in a controversial majority decision in a rematch of their fight last year on May 9th.  

 

“Perhaps that was my last bout today. There was huge pressure. I'll give it a bit of time. We want to come down from this first,” Sturm said after the fight hinting at possible retirement

 

“Felix fought very well, very hard,” Chudinov said. “There were a few clashes of heads, sometimes Felix's fault, sometimes mine. 

“But I'm not in agreement with the decision.”

Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Danny Garcia; Saul Canelo Alvarez and Amir Khan… One fight will happen, one fight has been threatened.

 

Today on Thaboxingvoice’s radio show, the panel will give their take on Mayweather Jr’s recent comments regarding the upcoming super fight between Canelo and Khan. In a recent interview published on FightHype.com, Mayweather Jr. suggested that he could “easily put a halt on that fight” by making his 50th fight against welterweight titlist Danny Garcia.

 

Floyd was quick to point out that he beat Canelo and that Danny beat Khan, demanding the question: Which fight would you want to see?.

On today’s edition of Thaboxingvoice Radio Show, the panel discusses the recently announced HBO headliner between Andre Ward and Sullivan Barrera taking place March 26th at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. After a month or so of speculation, the fight was formally announced this week with yesterday’s media call to officially kickoff the promotion, although reports of the fight being finalized surfaced last week.

 

Despite having competed at a catch-weight above 168lbs in his return fight against Paul Smith last June, this will be Ward’s first official fight at light heavyweight since announcing his certain decision to move up from super middleweight – a weight class he dominated and reigned over for years. The undefeated Barrera will to take advantage of the size factor that comes with years of experience campaigning at the light heavyweight division.

 

Joining us today will be bantamweight Alexis Santiago as he prepares for his Fox Sports 1 headliner against Erik Ruiz in Las Vegas on a Mayweather Promotions card. Jamel Herring will also appear as a guest on today’s show, fresh off his own Fox Sports 1 headliner this past Tuesday in which he defeated Luis Eduardo Flores by unanimous decision through 10 rounds.

After months of calling out  fellow UK welterweight, Amir Khan, for a super showdown that Khan seemed to have no interest in, IBF Welterweight Champion, Kell Brook sets his sights on the baddest man in the middleweight division, Gennady Golovkin. “Get me Golovkin at 155 pounds,” Brook said via the Metro from IFL TV.

 

“I started laughing,” Hearn (Brook's promoter) said to IFL TV about Brook’s interest in fighting Golovkin. “And he said ‘I’m serious.’ I actually spoke with [Golovkin’s promoter] Tom Loeffler. I believe Kell is the best welterweight in the world, but he has to build his resume to prove it. He will jump into a super fight in the summer. He has to and he will.”

 

Is this all just hype? Is Brook trying to upstage Amir Khan in the wake of his recent signing to fight WBC Middleweight Champion Saul Alvarez? Can this fight really happen and should it really happen? We will discuss this and much more on this special edition show.

On This Super Bowl Sunday Edition, the gang will discuss the rumors of the financial losses of PBC and if they are in serious trouble or not?Waddell & Reed's Investment in Haymon: $82 mil. Remaining (of $521 mil.) as of December 31, 2015, self.Boxing

submitted 9 days ago * by jimwilson128

Building off of my last post of the Q3 results from the mutual funds managed by Waddell & Reed that invested in Haymon:

Acquisition cost (initial value) of combined investment: $528,481,000

Value of combined investment as of September 30, 2015: $214,288,000

Value of combined investment as of December 31, 2015: $82,354,000

To date, the investment made into Media Group Holdings, Series H (which invested in Haymon Boxing) by the three Waddell & Reed funds (Ivy Asset Strategy, Ivy VIP Asset Strategy, Waddell & Reed Advisors Asset Strategy) has lost 84% of its value. At this rate, the investment will be worth zero dollars by the end of February, which implies that Haymon will run out of funding at that time.

Edit: Headline contains a typo. Should say $528 mil.
