Why does everyone thank god for their victories?

[Kris Silver]

It gets on my nerves a little sometimes, you don't see religion being brought into other sports to such a degree.

I'm watching sport not thank the lord nightly, thanks very much.

I don't think god condones beating the hell out of someone for money.

Who cares? No one is trying to force their opinion on you.

Let it be.

why do we ask for la bendicion???? to our mothers abuelas and all that... BECAUSE YOU HAVE 2

[El Jesus]

Does that mean that they blame god if they lose?

No, but you look to god to make yourself stronger in your next outing. People turn to god in times of joy and times of pain. We thank god because we dont forget god in the great times and dont forget god in the tough times, allah watches over all of us at all times, thus when the camera is on you in your most shining moment, most people put god first, thats why.

It's what I've always wondered because I don't think God takes time out his day to choose who's side he's one to win a boxing match. Unless he's a huge boxing fan or something. Even though I don't believe in that type of stuff if they thank god for not being hurt or the other guy for not being hurt I don't have a problem with that.

i don't know if you guys noticed but at the start of every round cotto and margarito would, se persinaban... don't really know how to say it in english.

[Ray Ray]

I've seen many vids on fighters thanking god after fights, i mean i would believe that they actually believe in god if it was a select few but it seems like every fighter does it it's crazy.

Mayweather


Roy Jones Jr.


James Toney


Evander Holyfield


I think i remember Margarito doing it after the Cotto fight aswel.

What is the point of this thread? Seriously...What point are you trying to prove?

[Fenom]

Because they're religious and believe in God.

right! and ****....i dont know if you box or not but as dangerous as boxing is and your ok after a fight you'd probably be thanking the man upstairs too

i Don't Think God Condones Beating The Hell Out Of Someone For Money.

because it is a human need to feel like there is someone looking out for them.
