HBO Still Screwed Up

[Omalsi11]

Y'all need to lighten up!

OMG, are you guys serious? Before I made this I said that I shouldnt even do it because I bet that alot of people will take it the wrong way since its hard to explain over the internet but I swear I did not mean it as a racist post and Im not even a guy who says "I swear". I was trying to say it as something that would be on Real Sports or something. I just thought it was weird how before the fight you heard the crowd seemingly be like 80-20 for Margarito if not more but if you just watch the normal fight and look at the rows thats in the picture, they were mostly all Mosley fans. It was just a weird thing

Christ, with some of the **** people say on here, this is the kind of thing getting reported for racism? Go look at KingChile, that dude is a serious racist. I don't think DLT is a racist he brought up a touchy subject that he probably should have just let rest. But seriously, there are guys that do much worse and don't get reported...

Easy there PC Plod. Report me and I'll fire you.

Hey easy man. I think there just messing about. I think they've formed a pact against you. They know you're not being racist.

I wrote this in another thread like a week ago but how can you not have a Countdown for Margarito-Mosley. What makes it even more crazy is that HBO obviously was in love with Margarito at the time so for them not to have a Countdown means that they think Mosley had totally fell off. It was a great day for Boxing obviously since the house was packed, the stars were out, and ESPN did a good job at covering the fight but I just think that it couldve even been bigger if they wouldve gave it a Countdown. Mosley deserves that with his HOF career and his recent big wins and Margarito deserved it with him being one of the top guys in boxing at the time. Not a 24/7 but just a Countdown, e****ally considering the fact that you know how these guys fight and will make it action packed.




PS- One thing that was strange/funny/sad about that fight was that Margarito obviously packed the house with the Mexicans and thats all you heard but when you just watch the fight and see the people cheering, all you can really see is the Mosley fans because it was like they were rich and had all the close seats while the Mexicans had the seats further away. Did anyone else catch that? Its like all the front 5-10 rows were Mosley fans and then the rest were Margarito fans

I disagree about the Mexicans in the back comment. Most Mexican hardcore fans like to sit next to each other. That is in the back cuz its hard to afford 100's of tickets next to each other in the front. On the floor it was probably 60 to 40 Margarito fans. In the crowd it was more like 75 to 25 Margarito fans. The reason you didn't see or hear most of them is because Margarito didn't give them anything to cheer for.

Was his comment outright racist? No it wasn't.


Could the thread of been just as successful without mentioning that? Yes!


Doesn't every major boxing match have rich white people in the front rows only?

YES!!!

Are you high? Intoxicated?

Nope, tired.

Waiting up or the Urango fight.


Just for the record, I was joking.

I didn't report ANYONE.
