[Nash out]

Nash is sick of these type of bets anyway. Just let the boxers take care of business, and even when boxers do these bets, like all or nothing for the winner crap, B.S. If Nash thought they could beat anyone, and bear in mind, Nash is an undefeated warrior with a proud 0-0 record, Nash would still not do those kind of bets out of principle. Not even if Nash was going head to head vs a talking dummy, no disrespect to the dummy, it would still have a punchers chance, but, it just comes across as a lack of class. Nash out.

In other words, Paul likes to do these macho press conference, gimmick bets, but when it comes down to real business, he can't do it. He's a publicity bully. One day a fighter will just not care, just smile during press conferences, be too nice on the mic, then be an animal in the ring and destroy Paul. I actually credit what he's been doing and learning, but his road will hit that first loss bump soon. Then we'll see how much he loves Boxing to continue.

In other words, you should start reading more than headlines!

He backed out of the bet yesterday and he said that legally he couldn't do it for some reason. Now I think we are going to try and figure that out behind the scenes to help charity, but obviously I lost the bet.

Oh right…..

A manager or an investor in the fighter should have no ethical problem betting on a fighter they already back.

A promoter, who is supposed to promote the fight and not an individual fighter, obviously has an ethical (and legal) problem if they are backing one fighter to win and the other to lose.

Both these clowns should have automatically known this all along, but boxing is so screwed up that they see it as some kind of legal fine point that they shouldn't want one of the fighters to lose before a punch has been thrown.

As much as I want to say "I didn't exactly say that Paul pulled out, just that he couldn't do it because it wasn't official"....I admittedly rushed to the comments section.

Eddie Hearn making it all about himself, I’m shocked, that’s so not like Eddie at all

I do it all the time in fairness. The comprehension part was un called for so for that I’m sorry.
