From inside The Coalition

'cause godslayer is the man!

why did boof change his name?

I changed my name to find out something lol. It has something to do with a poster on this forum and another forum lol.

I just wanted to make a point really.
I recently joined The Coalition after consulting with one of the members whose opinion I respect and who posts nothing but knowledgeable and informative posts.
Ive been on the forum since April and havent really seen anything that justifies the hate for the group.
You may or may not know that I am mixed race and have been a victim of racism more than once. I would not join or stay with a group if i saw racism of any kind. As far as i know The Coalition is made up of many races and ages and holds similar opinions on boxing matters and thats as far as it goes.
Myself, i speak my mind whenever i feel like it and so be it. If i disagree with a fellow Coalition member thats all it is, a disagreement, we are all adult enough to be able to agree to disagree.
The flaming, as i see it, only starts when the group or members thereof are disrespected. Quite frankly its an internet bloody forum, there is no need to be disrespecting anyone on here, BUT i defy any man not to fight his corner when attacked and thats what The Coalition do, defend their opinions,members,viewpoints etc when provoked.
Within the group there are some VERY knowledgeable members and some great posters. You may not approve of their fonts and writing style etc but you cannot deny the thought that goes into the posts and the fact that the information presented is usually correct.
Opinions however are subjective and, as long as they can be justified with the facts, cannot be derided just because they oppose your own.
To do so is childish and churlish and belies a fundamental lack of knowledge on the opposers behalf.
I have had some interesting debates within the group and know that my knowledge and input is respected even if at times disagreed with.
Thats the beauty of adulthood i suppose, one can hold a reasoned debate without resorting to internet flaming and at the end of it both parties still have the respect of the other.
I have not been an "active" member of The Coalition, in that I dont go in for flaming etc BUT the hatred on this board is amazing.
Please try to remember its an internet BOXING forum and The Coalition are just a group of knowledgeable individuals who like to get together and discuss boxing.
Oh and for the record im NOT a Floyd nuthugger. I happen to think he is an excellent boxer but he is far from my favourite and they still let me in the group!
Lets just get back to talking about boxing people and remember ..... knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone.

The coalition is a coalition of dumb****s whose parents didn't teach them common sense.

Otherwise those dummies wouldn't fall for cowards who pisses on their pants.

Even kids in my country know a lot better.

Retirement seems to be working well for Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather Jr. who amassed fame and fortune in the boxing ring, certainly doesn't need boxing these days. Recently Mayweather Jr. went on record with the Grand Rapids Press discussing some of his recent spending.

Mayweather Jr. made about $100 million in gross purses, but admits he has made much more outside of the ring. In fact Mayweather Jr. is doing so well that he recently acquired some high end purchases. Purchases such as a brand spanking new Jet aircraft worth an astounding $26 million. If ruling the Skies in a brand new jet isn't enough, Mayweather Jr. can also be king of the waves with a brand new Yacht worth $20 million. Mayweather Jr. also recently scored himself a new home in Vegas worth $18.5 million, plus another home in Miami costing $11 million.

Mayweather Jr. doesn't credit his latest bout of spending from his earning he made in the ring, but rather the money he has invested. Mayweather Jr. plans on being a Billionaire by the end of this year, telling the Grand Rapids Press: "I was truly, truly blessed to have good people around me and I was smart during my career. I made great investments. By the end of this year, I should be a billionaire."

Mayweather Jr. added: "I went from the ring to Wall Street, that's all I can tell people."

I for one am happy to see Mayweather Jr. doing so well in retirement. I wish all boxers would be fortunate enough and smart with their winnings from boxing. I hope Mayweather Jr. enjoys all that money has to offer him...but I also hope he remembers he made every penny he has, including what he is making on Wall Street, from the money he got from the pockets of hard working fans who paid a small fortune for his Pay-Per-Views. People who work 40 hours a week and more just to survive. Real ****in People. Mayweather Jr. may have all the God given talents that made him an awesome boxer... but all his money came from the fans. The kind of fans who support Boxing and make it impossible for Congress to pass laws banning Boxing. Without those fans, their support, their money....then Mayweather Jr. more than likely would have ended up a penniless Bum on the streets of Detroit. Sure, these days he'd like you to think he is a smart Wall Street Bloke... but come on! Who is Mayweather Jr. kidding?

In the end, Boxing doesn't need Mayweather Jr. Boxing never needed Mayweather Jr. It was Mayweather Jr. who needed Boxing.

Thanks for the article El Dominicano.

Damn...I hope he made some investments because he went on a Spree! Buying stuff left and right!

I can seriously tell you, he doesn't know how to save his money. I'm 100% sure he'll be back to fight.

Maybe some time away will also re-kindle the fire.

I know right...All of this stuff he bought really wasnt called (just my opinion) I understand you want to have a flashy life-style but come on...Dont go broke trying to live the "baller " life-style....Like I said earlier...I hope he was smart enough to make investment while spending all of this money...At least he would have another source of income to come in while he spending like this...

His debt is going rekindle his fire.

[deanrw]

His debt is going rekindle his fire.

Hey whatever gets him motivated, I am game for it.

With him retiring, Boxing lost it's last mass appeal star. Boxing has some guys on the fringes right now of being there, but no real names that are known outside of Boxing.

Many do not realize how much Floyd is needed right now. The sport needs him as he can still make real headlines and reach out to the casual fan.

E-****ing 5 on 1 and still can't take someone down.. pathetic.

Probably because thats not what the thread is about

Its a groups conataining...Floyd fans...Klitchshko fans ( I know spelled that name wrong) Cotto fans, Pavlik and many more...Basically we're fans of the sport...We have decents conversations believe it or not! What's ever good to talk about we're going to have a decent Conversation about it...

I also will tell you this Dean...We dont PROMOTE RACISM....Not at all man!

Good post Ray
