So this means that in every fight on which Inoue is really that taking up some drugs? This is really some shit kind of assumptions or throwing up some accusations without proof.
These ideas would really just come up on the time that there would really be some questions in regarding power and toughness on which people would really be starting on having doubts on which it isnt something new.
To remove out those kind of doubts and issues in regarding power then it should really be that mandatory or something that should really be added on boxing rules.
Accusations like this should really be something needs up to be proven but would they really that be allowing to take up some test before the fight? It should really be that fair
so that there would be no questions asked.

No one is accusing Inoue that he is taking illegal substances but somehow, Team Tapales was requesting that there would be VADA testing to both fighters as to really know if Inoue did not take something. There this thing if the fight is being held in Japan that most of the Japanese teams will take advantage of some scenarios like what gloves to wear. This happens to Casimero and Fulton wherein they were persuaded to wear thick gloves but fortunately, their teams didn't heed to their request and still wore the thin gloves.

This is a unification fight, they'll do everything to make it a clean fight, and if that drug testing is requred, then I think both camp should comply with that.

That's a fair point. Anyone should be able to request drug testing to ensure that a boxer is not cheating. I believe it needs to be mandatory, especially for big fights like this one. Whoever wins this fight will become an undisputed champion, and it's detrimental to boxing if people start to doubt a champion's reputation due to non-compliance with drug testing rules.

Inoue's undeniable strength might lead opponents to question whether his power is natural or the result of performance-enhancing drugs.

This isn't an accusation but rather a request for drug testing, likely stemming from doubts within the Tapales camp prior to their significant fight. Given the high stakes in this match, it doesn't seem excessive. No boxer should be allowed to gain an unfair advantage, especially from Tapales' perspective. If he were to upset Inoue, it could propel his name to the forefront, opening doors for major fight opportunities and allowing him to have a say in revenue sharing arrangements.

Just the same, when Pacquiao is dominating the ring, I used to remember that Mayweather also thinks that way and he doesn't want to fight the prime
Pacquiao accusing him that there's something that the man is taking the reason why he really dominating.

But all are just accusation and not being proven till Mayweather beat Pacquiao in a match where many can say that it was a robbed with an unfair
judgements.

I watched that fight too, and I have to agree that Manny didn't appear to be robbed. Mayweather was clearly in control, dictating the pace of the fight. He made it incredibly tough for Pacquiao to land clean shots. While Pacquiao is known for his speed and strength, Mayweather's ring intelligence and speed were a crucial advantage, which is why he emerged victorious via unanimous decision.

However, it's true that some people have a negative perception of Mayweather's fighting style, finding it a bit on the boring side. Personal preferences in boxing styles certainly play a role in how fans perceive fights.

moving back to Tapales request, not sure if he and his camp can get that surprise test as the fight will take place inside Inoue's' homeland.

I've witnessed Inoue's impressive performances in the ring, and he appears to be virtually unstoppable, showcasing his dominance. However, when it comes to Tapales, there's still a significant question mark in my mind.

Speaking of Inoue's performance, yeah he is amazing but somehow there's a doubt on some people on the boxing community especially his opponents that he has taking something like PEDs. This may be the reason why the camp of Tapales is requesting that there should be a surprise VADA testing to see if Inoue is really a clean fighter but i doubt that request would be approved since the fight will be held in Tokyo, Japan.

That is a grave accusations though, but I wouldn't be surprise though, I mean during Manny's height, he was also accused of using PEDs but there's nothing concrete or finding in his urine and blood sample and he all goes to this voluntary testing.

I also read that Fulton camp alleges that Inoue and his camp did illegal wraps or at least they have concerned about how they are wrapping the hands of Inoue. But the fight is done and we see how he destroys Fulton.

They have this doubt in mind because Inoue is different to other boxers. I mean, he's impressive and a real monster when in the ring. His performance lead some people to think he might be taking PEDs or something that can help him destroy his opponent. Well, these are just accusations and not proven.

Anyway, is December 26 the official date of this fight?

Yes, we haven't seen this kind of boxers, who really punch very hard and just knocking out people. So everyone is really mesmerized to the point that they have to question whether he is using performance enhancing drugs as they can't believed what they are seeing. And now he will have another fight and this time he is aiming for a second unified title in another division. Although it has been done before, but not in this magnitude that Inoue is doing.

It has been confirmed already and so everything is set. Only way that this fight is going to be postpone is that if either boxer got injured themselves (just like when Inoue got injured against Fulton and it was pushed several months later, but it didn't stop Inoue from winning a belt at 122 lbs).

How about the PPV? I believe there's a PPV of this fight, and those who aren't able to watch in the venue, they could watch through PPV sponsored by ESPN I think.

There's no PPV on this fight as it can only watch on ESPN+, but there's a subscrition which is.... "You can get an ESPN+ subscription for $10.99 per month,"... So you just have to subscribe ahead of the fight so you'll not miss this upcoming big fight.

Not bad if that's per monthly basis, though if you are not willing to pay that much, I guess streaming will be there. Just navigate and look
for free streams, but expect ads that will keep bothering you from time to time.

For sure, there are streamers who will share it just going to ask for small donation or for viewers to create hypes with their streaming links.

Free streams are readily available and quite common in the Philippines. Many streamers on platforms like Facebook offer free streams and may ask for online donations, but they don't impose any obligation to donate. This makes services like ESPN+ less necessary, unless you're a fan of other sports that are also covered by ESPN+ besides boxing.

Is it true that there is no PPV on this fight?
Because usually ESPN will also sponsor PPV like other boxing fights.
But if really want to be able to watch every fight more easily then subscribing to ESPN is the right choice especially since ESPN also covers quite a lot of matches not just boxing.

The Inoue vs Tapales fight is getting closer, there are only around 26 days left and the news about this fight is already quite busy on several social media, especially on several Twitter account channels.
Seeing both of their preparations will make the fight quite brutal but I don't think that either of them can win by TKO because they both have pretty good endurance.

Yeah, and since the fight is in Japan, it won't be a PPV. And that's why we always thought that Inoue should really be fighting in Japan, so that he will be a PPV star as well instead of fighting in his native country. He needs to get out of his comfort zone and be state side and obviously to create more hype and money for him and cemented his legacy.

As per the odds though, Tapales is still 8:1 underdog. Maybe for those who love to bet on the underdog, then maybe Tapales is your guy. We've witnessed Ngannou knocking down Fury in their fight when no one thought that he can even last 5 rounds of the best HW champion of our generation. So who knows, upset can really happen in boxing.

Also similar to Tapales, Conor was also humble before he became very rich. When he was not yet a champion, Conor's trashtalking was also not from his personality. He only taught himself to trashtalk to sell more tickets and more UFC subscriptions. Marlon can also use this tactic to sell more payperviews. It will also make this very exciting for the fans hehe.

That's what I think about his attitude too, and I think that McGregor being an asshole and cocky fighter during interviews contributed to the increase in sales in his fights which I think is the best strategy right now because you can pair this kind of fighter with a calm demeanor fighter or an equally trashtalking fighter and the results are going to be the same: more people wanting to see the matches.

Boxing and UFC are undoubtedly two distinct markets, and it's clear that boxing holds the bigger share. In fact, according to reports, Conor McGregor made a total of $85 million from all his UFC fights combined. However, in just one boxing match against Mayweather, he earned over $100 million. This demonstrates that the real money is in boxing, which is why we see many UFC fighters exploring exhibition fights, where they can potentially earn a significant amount, win or lose.

It's true that many fighters who earn substantial money are often skilled in the art of trash-talking. Marlon, despite not being a natural trash-talker, is making an effort to adopt the style that has proven successful in boxing. We can't deny that it's not just about winning fights; having an effective marketing strategy is crucial.

Most likely, but I doubt that Marlon style is to trash talk, on the contrary, leading up to the fight with Akhmadaliev, you will not hear anything from him. On the contrary it was Murodjon who says that he is going to knock out Marlon and then looking for a unification fight with Inoue.

It's understandable that he's taking a different approach now that he's a champion and involved in a high-stakes unification fight. Building hype and marketing is an integral part of professional boxing, and it can lead to more significant financial rewards. Even though he's engaging in trash talk, his goal is to capitalize on the moment and make the most out of this opportunity. If he wins, it would undoubtedly solidify his position and increase his marketability. However, if he loses, he may have to work his way back up, but the rewards from this high-profile fight are worth the effort.

To engage fans and make them eager to watch the fight, creating interest is essential. Fans can be quite passionate, especially when they hear fighters trading verbal jabs, and that alone is a sign that trash talk has been a successful strategy.

The fight is going to be held in Japan, if this is in the US, yeah maybe they need marketing to reach out to casual fans. But it's not, the fans of Inoue and the Japanese people in general already knows this fight and for sure they are going to watch it and see how their champion will get the belt from Marlon and to unify the super bantamweight division.

I'm starting to have mixed feelings about what Tapales has been doing lately. It seems like he's moving away from being a humble boxer and trying to imitate what Casimero has been doing. I understand that he's training hard, but maybe he should keep his words to himself and just focus all his energy into training.

Calling himself a "nightmare" for Inoue sounds a bit funny because no amount of trash talk is likely to disrupt Inoue's focus.

That's just how it is, man. Boxers who engage in trash talk tend to get more attention. While Tapales might not naturally be that boastful, he's probably following the orders of his promoter. Marketing the fight is crucial, and this kind of promotion is designed to make the fight more interesting, attract a crowd, and boost potential PPV sales if there is one.

Also, if there is an agreement in their contract that the fighters will receive a big bonus if the sales of their payperview reaches a certain quota then Marlon Tapales should certainly trashtalk and market himself as Inoue's nightmare hehehe.

I reckon Marlon should also watch the replays of Conor McGregor's interviews and start walking the billionaire walk like Conor hehehe.

Nah, I don't think that Tapales has the swag like that, this Filipino boxers came in poor like Manny Pacquaio, so they are really very humble in boxing even if they become a world champion because they still think were they come from. Exception to the rule is John Riel Casimero, however, it seems that his arrogant lifestyle has caught up with him. He doesn't have a good fight at 122 lbs so far and we don't know if Inoue will give him a chance after he got all the belts from Tapales.

And remember that this two doesn't speak English very well and obviously it's not their first language. So it's very hard to talk trash against your opponent as it will go on a translator and the translator might missed or intentionally omit words.

However, Conor McGregor also was poor in Ireland before he began his career in MMA. He was a plumber and a construction worker. Also similar to Tapales, Conor was also humble before he became very rich. When he was not yet a champion, Conor's trashtalking was also not from his personality. He only taught himself to trashtalk to sell more tickets and more UFC subscriptions. Marlon can also use this tactic to sell more payperviews. It will also make this very exciting for the fans hehe.

But doesnt really necessary to be like that on making some trashtalks yet we've seen legendary boxers who are just simply humble but do still be able to get that kind of fame and popularity.Well, we've seen those boxers or fighters who are really that loving on trashtalking or really being that too tactful. We dont know if those are really that changed in behaviors or simply some way on marketing themselves to sell more tickets or getting that popularity, no one really knows but we cant deny that it does work but pretty sure that there are people whom do really hate but well their performance or stats would really do the talking. They might not be liked by some people but still they are really that good which they dont care about those issues or talks.

As for Tapales then i do see this man isnt really that too tactful but you could really see that this one isnt really that something you could be easily to be taken down. Im bit that excited
if his toughness and power would really be more than with Donaire? If he is, then he had the chance yet we've seen on how Donaire did make some damage to Inoue.
Speed is significant on here and lets see if they do make out adjustments.

That's what I think about his attitude too, and I think that McGregor being an asshole and cocky fighter during interviews contributed to the increase in sales in his fights which I think is the best strategy right now because you can pair this kind of fighter with a calm demeanor fighter or an equally trashtalking fighter and the results are going to be the same: more people wanting to see the matches.

Boxing and UFC are undoubtedly two distinct markets, and it's clear that boxing holds the bigger share. In fact, according to reports, Conor McGregor made a total of $85 million from all his UFC fights combined. However, in just one boxing match against Mayweather, he earned over $100 million. This demonstrates that the real money is in boxing, which is why we see many UFC fighters exploring exhibition fights, where they can potentially earn a significant amount, win or lose.
