I was MUCH less impressed than Lamps, Max and the ****

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

DIOS DOMINICANO, you're an ass. You know if that was mayweather 8-4 against hatton. You would be posting topics like Mayweathers number 1!!! And be all over his balls... This topics disgusting

Why so weepy, Sparky?

[Azteca]

Tek,

It was a very good fight. "Epic" is hyperbole. It wasn't the best fight this quarter.
What do fight economics have to do with fans wanting the best possible fights? Are you even serious with that question?

The best fights are made or not made for money. Do you think Arum would rather see a competitive fight or make a couple of million dollars?

Why did "If it makes dolars, it makes sense" enter the fight fan's lexicon?

Side note: you comment on my intelligence (or lack thereof) alot. If I'm smart, it isn't worth mentioning. If I'm an idiot, then it DEFINITELY isn't worth mentioning.

It was epic.

Both undefeated.
For the undisputed SMW championship
Both talented
Both nice guys and great sportsman


....but as usual you have to rain on everyone's parade.

You dont like boxing, do you?

Who CARES what Arum would rather see. Boxing exists because of the FANS that pay to watch it. And true FANS would rather see an exciting fight than one that was overhyped but made tons of money (see Mayweather/DLH.)

Dios,


To say otherwise is foolish and cowardly. Therefore even if anyone could before, no-one can take anything you say in the future with any seriousness or credibility.

Mick,

Will you be the standard-bearer and ignore my posts going forward?

It was epic.

Seriously?

It was a solid fight and a good showing by both of them, but let's not fall into the HBO hype machine. It was far from epic.

He's not a fan.

Zag just filled up a stadium with 50 K and he had to rain on that parade.
Hatton has 25,000 fans coming over to Vegas, 15,00 of which wont be able to see him fight live. He has to rain on that parade.
We have a new exciting MW champion. He had to rain on that parade.

This guy is demented.

Boxing is prosperous, and all this **** can talk about is that because the total revenue was only 7 million that it somehow diminishes all of his accomplishments.

He's a spin job. A hype job.

An overall loser.

Because fighters don't necessarily determine their own destinies. Do they?

Every time I ask why Hatton spent a decade fighting Freddie Pendleton, I'm told "well, Frank Warren..."

So, in order for us (you?) FANS to get the best fights, the fights must be deemed economicaly viable by 'the powers that be'.

Why wasn't Arum willing to put Cotto in with Floyd at 140? Because he would be risking "his" cash cows. Better to parallel-path them.

But now that he isn't on the FMJ revenue teat, he is dying to make that fight happen.

Why does Oscar get to cherry-pick his opponents? At the expense of more meaningful/competitive fights? Moolah.

And yet you post.

Dirt E:
For the undisputed SMW championship
Both great characters and great sportsman
Both talented
Both undefeated

....I mean I know you may not like either fighter. I have heard you say this a couple days ago. But dont rain on the parade man. 50,000 tuned in to see this fight. Boxing is prosperous....and we really have the boxing promoters to thank. they are putting together great fight cards and are finally competing against the UFC.
