Hbo Crew:"you Get The Feeling That They Want To See Mayweather Lose"

I think The HBO Announcement team, Are Pretty Fair except for Manny Steward. Manny Steward is MAYWEATHER's most Bias commentator and Critic .... Period... Jim Lamely and Larry Merchant have called the fights for almost all of Floyd Career.. And They have had their moments, where you can say, they are being to overly critical, and they also had they moments were they give Floyd his respect.. The Problem they have is, They are not balance in their Announcement. The Hatton fight for example..: All of them said BEFORE THE FIGHT (On fight night), "My heart is for Hatton.." but my head says "Mayweather" What Fair Minded Announcers would say that, right before the fight.. and you could see they felt that way because during 2/3 of the fight they were making every excuse they could into why Mayweather Could Lose the fight... They even had Hatton winning 5 Rounds, Some rounds where Mayweather Landed twice as Many Punches then Hatton landed, but they gave the round to Hatton.. Not until the 8th Round when Mayweather show that the knock out was coming did they start saying that Hatton is bring the best out of Mayweather...That's the Problem.... THE HBO crew have no Balance... Thats the Problem Mayweather Has with them... IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT TO SEE HIM LOSE... AND IF YOU ARE A FAIR MINDED COMMENTATOR THAT PERCEPTION SHOULD NOT EXIST... BUT WITH THE HBO CREW IT DOES... YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MAYWEATHER LOSE... The Point Floyd is Trying to Make is that, The HBO crew Calls His fights recently as if they want him to Lose... And being the Premiere Boxing Network, They should at Least Have the Perception that they dont care who wins the fight...But they dont... YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MAYWEATHER LOSE... Thats why He feels it is Racism...Because They do not give off the Perception that they are netural...

Low reward is the ONLY reason he is not fighting them. There is no such thing as high risk with floyd. and if you bring up the baldo fight, he fought baldo to be lineal ww champ so that he could get a fight with dlh. If marg or cotto were the champs at the time, he would have fought them. I don't know that. Because Floyd makes excuse after excuse, I think he could beat both of them. But the fact that they are bigger than him and are a threat as full size welterweights, nearly junior middle weights, is a big factor. But to say there is no high risk is ridiculous.

What I meant was, he doesn't want to fight Cotto or Margarito because it's high risk, low reward. I know almost everybody is about the money at some point, but Mayweather is always about the money. That's what Kellerman realized and was the reason he said the things he has said. Floyd was offered quite a bit of money to fight Margarito and turned it down.

Well like many other boxers, They're all in it for the money and not for the challenges...Name me one boxer who is in it for the challenges and not the money!!!

the my heart says hatton and my head says mayweather comment is very fair, i think a lot of boxing fans can appreciate that hatton is a character and a like-able guy who has love-able personality. he fights with heart and doesn't back really back down. mayweather is a better boxer but loses to hatton on entertainment and like-ability. hatton has a good personality whilst mayweather has the personality of a dead decaying zebra.

They want drama. Which Floyd fights rarely have. Especially the Hatton/ Oscar overhyped matchups that promised real excitment but didnt deliver. Floyds cautious, defensive pot shotting style lacks the excitment and drama of aggressive fighters. I dont see how its anything to do with race. Where they just as critical of Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, Whitaker, Lewis, etc etc??

Kellerman was on Floyd's dick for quite a while, but like many others he realized Floyd is fighting for money, not for the challenge within the sport.

That is basically just plain spamming. Yes it is. You couldn't have a regular exchange with him if you tried. He will just repost some prewritten long ass post and feel victorious.

Even the Announcers want to see him lose because he is fucking boring, his fight against oscar was boring, his fight against hatton was boring until the knock out. He just has a boring ass style that most people do not enjoy including manny steward and so on. I bet you Lennox Lewis falls asleep to Mayweathers style too. But even if he is boring, They should still be fair. and call the fight neutrally. But HBO is going to do what they want to do, it is their shit..lol But I do get the feeling that want Mayweather to lose so they can talk shit. The only time I seen them call a fight for mayweather fairly is when he fought my boy Judah. They Praise Mayweather and Trash Judah. Other than That I dont know.

Notice how HOrus keeps reposting the same two posts over and over again. He can't post off the top of his head like the rest of us...it's all saved up and prewritten or copied from other websites and message boards. Took him a long time to put that shit together too, god knows where he copied all that shit from....ROFL. That is basically just plain spamming.

I am not going to lie, I do get the feeling that HBO wants Floyd to lose for some reason, racism...is a strong word. But I do think they want to see his demise. And that kind of perception should stay out of the commentating booth IMO.

Thing is who doesn't see right threw Floyd? they are right for that because they are questioning his choice as of recent years. he wasn't getting that treatment bfore he began talking all this money shit.. of course they gonna press you like that because you showing no respect to the sport, you fighting for money and abandoned the pride of a fighter, you an entertainer now because you only move up for a fight depending on the price. see I would've respected it more if Floyd just said I'm retiring because I can't take the training camps anymore, the fights and the pain, maybe his body CAN'T take it no more BUT when you say the reason you wont fight Cotto is due to his revenue then you are a joke because REGARDLESS of revenue Cotto is the ONLY other fight out there for Floyd especially if Cotto beats Tony, now because of money issues you wont grant Boxing the biggest Welterweight megafight since De La Hoya-Trinidad? Mayweather won't fight Cotto or Margarito because he doesn't do business with Arum who he is currently suing. The problem is when people like you make statements that aren't true in regards to why he wont fight Cotto.
