haha medvedev or whatever your name is you seem to think i have an iinterest in you or your girls, let me make a couple things clear. 1. I do not have any interest in you or your family 2. I do not care about you criticizing my English, it is fine and dandy and people get the point 3. I will buy a domain name if a feel like it and if anyone has a problem with me using the name then i will change it, but i wont do it because of you. HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW MANY MAIN EVENT BOXING'S THERE ARE GENIOUS 4. Do not feel the need to comment 5. You need to stop pretending anyone you kknow or are related to has ever gone to school because clearly you are a trailer park moonshine swigging idiot 6. Do not make the mistake of thinking because i have not posted on here much that i am a) new to boxing or forums and b) will be bullied or upset by someone on the internet who is probably annoyes as he ahs a dose from sleeping with his own mother. hahaha, this is fun You are a RETARD. Any IDIOT, can signup at wordpress/blogspot and pretend to be a "Journalist". You have no Boxing knowledge and your writing sucks, a 4th grade student in China can type a better essay. Good luck pretending to be a "boxing" site, when you cant even afford a $5 domain name, I guess your mom wont let you use her credit card? Dont worry, you will probably have a "radio" show soon as soon as she buys you a microphone and lets you sign up at blogtalkradio.com ps: nobody cares about your BLOG. If people wanted to read retarded essays that make no sense they wouldve became teachers. You are a PATHETIC spammer who spams on every single Boxing board out there, go die in a fire spammer.

new ones will always come. It will be a passing of the torch. And when Manny and Floyd leaves, the networks will finally start to promote the younger guys heavily, something they should already be doing.

Then you barley know me as a poster,i have always stayed civil until someone attacks me i am no hater,truth is i might have become more angry in the past months only because of the decline in good posts,the lounge and nsb suck now,i still post because this sites like crack but it has lost steam. You're right. Alot of threads suck nowadays. Including this one, but its crack meng. When I left in 07 it wasn't as bad as it is today.

The superstar will always be around. Todays society & culture demands it and so do the TV stations and press / newspapers - it helps business all round Canelo is waiting to take the mantle from Pacquiao - so the next superstar is already born and just waiting patiently until the rest of the media back him once Pacquiao is gone.

yeah, pacquiao trash talked his way to the ppv rankings, so did oscar. what happens when this "character" doesn't deliver in the ring? Pacquiao is a character. He's "David" the little guy who beats up all the big men. That's what made him the star he is today. De La Hoya was the good looking soft spoken model who drew all the female fans. These guys were characters. They are the good guys. De La Hoya and Pacquiao both had boring fights before yet they never lost fans. Care to explain why? Like Mark said, Brock Lesnar is that big strong viking and even know after a brutal loss he would still do 1million PPV buys. Why? Because Brock isn't Shane Mosley. De la hoya isn't Shane Mosley. Pacquiao isn't Shane Mosley.

Ryan has good intentions. I can see that he is a fan of the sport, but sometimes his posts lack common sense. Mark, you're the last person who I expected to keep this "civil". Are you on meds or something? yeah, pacquiao trash talked his way to the ppv rankings, so did oscar. what happens when this "character" doesn't deliver in the ring?

Against Lewis i thought he had no chance going in,most casuals thought the same,it was i am going to eat your children then praising his god,adding onto him biting Evanders ear off. i was talking about pre-douglas

Ryanns a good poster no need to call him son lets keep this civil. Ryan has good intentions. I can see that he is a fan of the sport, but sometimes his posts lack common sense. Mark, you're the last person who I expected to keep this "civil". Are you on meds or something?

LOL. That's all I needed to know Ryann. Have a great day sir. so, you think all being the same except mike being sane would affect his popularity? he'd still have his killer knockouts, his aura of invincibility etc.

What made those people order the PPV in the first place son? Floyd wasn't fighting the best. He was fighting an old man. you fail to see my point. that fight was promoted well, managed to draw the casual fans cause of floyd's "trash talking". yeah, it drew the casual fans but then what? people were actually turned off because floyd says he'll do this, he'll do that and then it turned out to be a multi million sparring match. my point is, boxing needs more people who are exciting when they fight, not people who talk well outside of it. characters aren't necessary.

mike tyson was exciting. he had that aura of invincibility and some people were thinking he's on his way to be the best heavyweight ever at that time. him being unstable mentally didn't draw the fans. its the way he is seen as being invincible and his killer ko' LOL. That's all I needed to know Ryann. Have a great day sir.

Khan, Ortiz, Alvarez are the future superstars

being a "character" is pretty good drawing the casual fans. but when they see that dude fight, and it sucked then what? Nothing. Casual fans are casual fans. They'll always tune in to the big fights. It's always a risk, if it sucks. Oh well move on to the next one. If it's good, then you make alot of new fans. That's how it works.

I cant stand fake wrestling,but you got to admit they promote and sell there product well,look at what Chael Sonnen has done in a few years,he got into Anderson Silvas head bad. You were not amped for every Tyson press conference 95 percent of the time they were better then his fights but fans will always tune in,the sportsmanship in boxing has gone to far i want fighters to hate each other not touch gloves every rd and suck each others cocks at press conferences. mike tyson was exciting. he had that aura of invincibility and some people were thinking he's on his way to be the best heavyweight ever at that time. him being unstable mentally didn't draw the fans. its the way he is seen as being invincible and his killer ko's

we don't need another floyd-oscar. the highest selling ppv of all time, and it sucked ass. a lot of my friends who were casual fans were turned off. What made those people order the PPV in the first place son? Floyd wasn't fighting the best. He was fighting an old man.
