These comments came from Larry Merchant.
Like stop and realize that first.
Larry Merchant > You.
If anyone has some great insight into boxing, it's Larry.. Guy has seen more fights and fighters in his time than you and I probably ever will.
When someone reads your comment. Stop and realise that this is coming from Burner first.
Someone who has no tie to the boxing industry.
did Mayweather make his undercard test under Olympic Style Testing? nope.. he didn't.
he's going to allow possibly dirty fighters to fight on his card, and yet he is a drug crusader.
that's like running a campaign on pro-life and christianity but your staffers are atheists and having abortions.
what part of "cleaning up the sport of boxing" dont you understand?
If he said "i want to make sure my fights are clean" i would agree with your lame question.
exactly.. . .
if its in Vegas there is a 100% chance you wont get a ticket
exactly.. I'm from Vegas but I'd rather have this shit in Dallas.
Better chance of me seeing it live in Dallas than in Las Vegas.
i have posted this many times and nobody seems to listen to me or even awknowledge it so ill waste my time again.
petitioning the commissions is virtually pointless, unless floyd has alot of political backing and has the backpockets of either several promoters or politicians, its not going to happen. This would endanger a ton of fighters/fights for alot of fighters who are likely either using/cheating in some way shape or form. Alot of fighters would be subjected to it and alot of promoters likley would do everything they could to try to stop it.
Unless floyd has a heavy lobby or could potentially get power players like a harry reid to back him, its not going to happen. Things in boxing almost never change unless there is either a death, or heavy media coverage that forces them to do something. Floyd would need a ton of money and alot of political backing.
Boxings commissions have some of the worst and outdating drug testing methods as have been pointed out by alot of sources in recent months. Promoters like it this way, it doesnt endanger their titlists and the money keeps coming in.
alot of you dont know about vegas politics and the amount of corruption and underhanded garbage that goes on, this is especially true with the commissions. Floyd keeping this a thing for him and him only gives him not only the control, but its probably the only way it would actually get implemented. Boxing is never in a hurry to clean up anything.
so you are trying to tell me that by Mayweather doing OST for the Pacquiao fight.. it will make them think twice about changing the testing methods? lol c'mon now.. If you don't petition the commission, no matter how many times he uses it in his fights, it's not going to change the norm.
by Mayweather only using it in his fights.. it's not going to change the SOP of the Commission. So how exactly would he be "cleaning up" the sport?
& I find it funny that you think you know more about Vegas politics than I, a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada going on 13 years now.
If the Vegas commission is so corrupt and he doesn't want to deal with it.. why is he fighting here in the first place again?
you are an idiot. you do know that Oscar was looking for the fight at that time? Mosley had to say what he did cus even if he wanted that fight, his boss wanted it first. He had no choice but to say some bullshit.. sit back and let Oscar take first dibs on it. Oscar after all is the one making your checks.
Mayweather doesn't do much body punching, sorry.. and he is horrible at throwing combinations. He'll throw 2 punches at a time most the time.
Pacquiao has a bigger offensive arsenal, throws punches in bunches, great combinations, varied angles, can counter or can lead.
His offense is second to none.. not even Mayweather.
Look alt.......
I know you havent been watching the sport long but Merchant is a Floyd hater and never has anything good to say about him. So why would this interview be any different?
I've been watching the sport probably longer than you have.
& this is Sin City, don't give me that bullshit. My last account was banned.
he leads by example and since then normal people started a dialog about the effectiveness of the current testings and even NSAC will have a meeting about changing there current system. he did a lot in a short time you gotta give it up to the guy
Has Abraham changed his commissions regulations by "leading by example" nope.. no he hasn't. Because in a business like this.. that doesn't work. Sorry..
You got to petition the commission and put pressure on them to make it mandatory for all title fights. Something Mayweather, who is the OST drug crusader, is not doing.
I believe they said that they are leaning towards Vegas. If it does come here then I shall be a happy camper, because I can get tickets somewhat cheaper then asking price.
not for this event you wont..
He quit against Tim. Then bitched about it in the courts and got the decision reversed.
Tim should be the one pissed at him. Nate Campbell is done either way, anyway. If he gets passed Ortiz, Bradley is gonna put it to him again.
Did you just make that up???
Floyd doesnt do much body work? Hes one of the best body punchers in boxing.
No, but him being one of the best body punchers in the sport.. that's rediculous and made up.
The one punch he'll throw to the body most the time is the jab.
But other than that.. it's here and there, not much of it.
How much body punches did he throw against De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, and Mosley.. lol I'll wait.
so floyd has to speak for everyone now???lol
wasn't he who launched this drug crucade? he's building himself up to be a drug testing pioneer in American boxing. He did infact say he was trying to clean up the sport didn't he?
Wow I didn't even notice Floyd smiled after that big right hand...I knew he was alright after a few secs his legs were just affected...
lol you guys are full of shit if you think he wasn't hurt.
a lot of times when a fighter gets hit they'll smile and try to pretend they ain't hurt or that a punch didn't hurt them.
if you've been watching the sport long enough, you'd know this by now.
your legs don't buckle like that when a punch doesn't do some damage.
How about 2 gifs of Pacquiao kissing da mat?
those aren't as funny as your idol getting rocked by an old man.
as I recall Mayweather fans saying.. you can't hit what you cant catch or cant see.
Mosley proved that Mayweather is only human & the reason he had been looking untouchable was because he hadn't stepped up in competition in years.
Mayweathers auro of invincibility is gone after that right hand.
Because Pacquiao is stronger than Mosley?
because Pacquiao is faster and would've let his hands go when Mahyweather was vulnerable.
Mayweathers ass wouldve been on the canvas. & I think at this point, Mosley & Pacquiao's power are comparable.
and manny ducked that old man twice----manny would have been ko'ed if he was hit with those punches---floyd recovered fast as shit, and really didn't hang on like people put out there---he did tie up, like he was supposed to, but then mosley started grabbing him-----
and floyd's been hit and stunned before dumbass----any fighter can be---you're so desperate, that you can only talk about round 2? how about the rest of the fight? no wait---i bet you went and jerked off your little clit when you thought floyd was about to lose-----and missed the rest of the fight huh?
actually, I expected it to be a landslide victory for Mayweather. the 2nd round was completely unexpected, however, very enjoyable and hilarious.
Does anyone have a gif of Mayweather doing the chicken dance?
I got it
25 000 000 points and it's yours partner.
lol your funny.. I'll just wait for one of the pinoys to gladly post it for free & share the laughter at Mayweather's expense.
anyone who has got manny in a manny V floyd fight bet with me. i'll take your points off you,
I'll gladly take that bet.. on my original account though. I have no points on this one.
Look at another similar thread (Tortilla's) and the first answer he got is another question LOL.
What I'm also askin' in my thread is what is uneven in this playing field?
And your point validates another hypocrisy.
But we really aren't getting any legit answers coz in reality "the even playing field" which Floyd and his stans are saying is imaginary.
that's just Burner mostly. he thinks that if you avoid a question long enough and ask 30 of your own, you somehow win an argument. especially if he refuses to answer your original question and then bitches about you not answering his.
this is Sin City btw.. my old account was banned.
