    Who made it mainstream? I say Ward and his people. He wss saying that about Froch, Golovkin, Kessler, etc.
    I always thought it started in the stone age when the village gronks started lining up with gifts wanting to shag the King's hot daughter, the bigger gifts were the A-side, that is until Conan comes along as says, I got the biggest club she is mine.

    How dumb was I, it was Ray Leonard and Ward all along.

      Net result is Manny KOs Oscar to retire him for good in a record setting ppv that made him Fighter of the Decade. Manny with better results vs common opponents.

      U setting new squallin' and bawlin' records...
      What delusional world are you living in?

        Record setting?

        Floyd vs Oscar 2.4 million ppv
        Pac vs Oscar 1.4 million ppv

        Floyd vs Mosley 1.4 million ppv
        Pac vs Mosley 1.3 million ppv

        Floyd vs cotto 1.5 million ppv
        Pac vs cotto 1.2 million ppv


        Pacquiao has 1 fight that did over 2 million ppv. And that was against mayweather. Floyd has 4 fights that did over 2 million ppv. And 3 of them were without Pacquiao

        Just some facts, so you don't be out here looking ******

Now add in who gets the bigger slice of a pie, and you have A and B side making their claim.

          Fans all too often look through the eyes of fans, it's better if they try to look from the fighter's perspective that's where reality is.
          I didn't say first... and it's not better to look at things from the fighters' perspective when you're just a fan. Unless I'm getting a cut of the money who's the A side and B side is none of my business and irrelevant to me. I just want tonsee the best fight the best.

            How often does that happen and do you get upset or vent in the proper threads ?

            Seems as if May can do no right.

            May fights DLH and May is picking on a shot promoter
            Years later, Pac fights the absolutely WORST VERSION and Pac is all of a sudden crowned FOTY.
            ''No one beat up DLH* like Pac did..''
            Yeah becaause no one ever fought THAT VERSION of DLH*.
            May ''drags'' JMM up from wherever, beats him easily, gets no credit.
            JMM nearly KILLS Pac and JMM is on roids.
            May fights Conor because the money is insane.
            May is ruining boxing
            Years later, Pac wants to test the Conor waters
            No one GAF or criticizes him for following in May's footsteps
            May does an exhibition match, boxing is ONCE AGAIN ruined.
            Pac does an exhibition match and it's for a good cause.

            And people have the nerve to tell others how to spend their money (''Don't spend it on May, spend it on Pac '') ?!?!?

            On the hypocritical buffoon scale, where would you place people who behave in such a manner (1-10, 10 being the ultimate fool) ?

                      This is the correct answer I knew when opening this thread people will blame Floyd but Sugar Ray before fighting Hagler went to ridiculous lengths in stating himself as the A side
