DMX is out of money and out of flash in the pan fame and "talent" hes even used up his shitty DMX reality tv show card. Hes lowered himself to ragging on Jay-Z who is pretty washed up himself.
In Peter Toney I he came out to Bob Marley - Zimbabwe this time he came out to a diff Bob Marley tune i cant remember which one. If i heard it again i could tell ya.
Yeah this sucks. Peters people are slimey its possible he did agree to be in it and theyre just pulling because anyway. And yes id expect more names to drop at this point.
Damn thing sounded too good to be true and it was.
The general public likes heavyweights 7 heavyweight fights in one night that are all gonna be action packed 4 rounders? Sounds great to me.
The guys that signed on arent the biggest names in boxing but they arent the smallest either. Samuel Peter Chris Byrd Calvin Brock are all big names Even Oliver McCall.
Plus youve got Lennox promoting the fights as well.
Roy Jones Junior and Ken Shamrock are in the commercial which will help the event tremendously in terms of mainstream appeal.
boxing at one time was untill no man could go no more then it became 45 rounds then 20 rounds then 15 rounds now its 12 ... some are even 10 rounds
now we're talking 4 round pro bouts ... think this says something about our attention span and fitness level now adays ...when professional fighters and the fans only wanna watch for 4 rounds a fight
If yer fighting 3 men in one night dont you think there should be a few less rounds to the fights? I think the increased intensity of the fights(5 million dollars winners purse is a huge motivator)will be taxing of anyones stamina. Imagine having to go 4 hard rounds with a Samuel Peter that knows he only has to go 4 rounds. Then after that having to do the same against McCall?
It will just be that much more exciting.
The finalists will have to fight 3x4round fights. Totalling 12 rounds the same as a normal championship fight.
Boxing is changing. Its not a bad thing. 12 round snooze decisions are boring and turn fans away from the sport. Id rather see 4 round intense fights and a fighter beat 3 guys in one night instead of waiting 6 months for a fighter to fight and having it go to a draw.
I hope this is real and will happen but it probably wont.
If this did happen it would be the coolest thing to happen to boxing in a long time. Its one the best ideas ive ever heard in terms of rejuvinating boxing as a sport.
Giving the fighters a common prize to fight is huge motivation for them to try hard.
Harving a tourney format where fighters have to fight often (even on the same night)brings huge excitement. Im sick of fighters fighting once every 6 months at the most.
Heres the site with more info
Roy Jones Junior is in the advert.

Tua would be good.
Who are you guys picking to win? I got Gomez but id like McCall.
this is what K1 did with KickBoxing and look how successful that is!..
even though the other promoters in Boxing don't want events like this to happen, if it does, it will be great and could be a start to a new better era in Boxing!!!............forget the corruption, the dogdy decisions, the mandatory nobodies, sanctioning fees, etc, etc, etc............
this is 4 rounds, go and KO your opponent or you are out!
Damn right man,
The super fighter tourney is the coolest and best thing to happen to boxing in forever.
I dare you to prove me wrong.
Heres the official site.
Doesnt show the fighters but it has a cool commercial.
It also lists all the crazy rules of which there are many.

this is the most rigoddamndiculous thing i've ever heard of ! ...
more facts to back up my claim that boxing is becomeing a rigged state like the wwf
Why is it so rediculous? And why are you assuming its rigged?
Some of the biggest names have signed on to endorse this thing.
Angelo Dundee
Arturo Gatti
Kostya Tszyu
Lennox Lewis
George Foreman
etc etc etc.
Any exciting format and tourney style can only be good for boxing.
No more boring 12 round stinkfests.
you've got evidence to prove that? if you have none, then you're just talking out of your ass... don't talk things you can't back up.... ;)
Larry Merchant mentions it during his HBO fight with Lucero in 2003. It had been going on since before then.
I guess you mean either tye fields (the white guy) or chris byrd.
Tye fields is an undefeated prospect with a ton of kos against weak opposition
He might just win this thing.
