Floyds 40 million flat offer debunked

[ShoulderRoll]

Roadblock has taken up the mantle of defending Floyd's honour to the death.

I happened to watch Floyd - Manny again recently and was struck with how much "ooooh" and "aaaah" there was from the British commentary about Floyd's "movement". I am not denying he won, but the lack of meaningful scoring shots was striking. This was a consistent theme throughout his career, not to mention the persistent fouling, particularly use of his elbows, holding and pushing the opponent's head down so as to avoid close exchanges.

I think there was a media and judging bias towards Mayweather due to him being a high profile American and looking more like what an alleged "master boxer" was supposed to look like. Amazing athlete, but a fighter he was not.

Boxing is still suffering with this American "technical boxer" bias now in my opinion.

So the British commentators had an American “technical boxer” bias? Get a hold of yourself.

Or go watch an Anthony Joshua “boxing master class” if that is what you think good boxing is.

Yes. The UK is propagandised by the US in various ways.

Irrelevant comment. I already explained to you nationalism doesn't play a role in my enjoyment of boxing. Only a simpleton would interpret my post as "he's attacking muh country".

Nationalism doesn’t play a role in your enjoyment of boxing…yet I have seen you recently attacking boxers from only one particular nation.

You sound like one of those Euros that gets offended at the idea of American exceptionalism.

Because I think a small group of inactive American boxers hold up the sport. You surely can't think these annual fights are a good idea.

I laugh at it. That ideology was conceived by foreign policy hawks to justify bombing/invading third world countries in the interests of "freedom and democracy". Every four years Americans get to choose between two sociopathic weirdos with mildly diverging political programs and this is called "democracy".

Did Bob Arum build that new stadium yet or no?

Floyd disarmed Pacquiao when they fought, made him look ordinary, and rightfully won a non-controversial decision. Deal with it.

That 2 million seat super arena that can be seen from Pluto

Less we forget how superstitious Pac was....taking blood out of his body sooner than 14 days prior to a fight would kill him dead

The time has also passed for you to stop becoming so exercised about Floyd Mayweather, a guy you recently denied being in awe of and that you dispassionately view as a race horse. And yet whenever the subject arises, here you are racking up your post count.

Not everyone feels the same about Mayweather as you do. It's a teenage mentality not to accept this.

Your a closet hater lol, your recent Manny polishing posts show your true colours, I always show mine which is I hate feeble weak ass haters and Floyd happens to have a few that are the biggest cowards in the forum, if you want to come out of the closet fully go for it and see where it gets you, or if you want to cry about me attacking the fools every time I see them talking sht again, then best you say something to them.

Dont play neutral when we know your agenda.

Joshua held up the Wilder fight until it was no longer meaningful. How long did it take Josh Taylor to rematch Catterall? Has Fury vs Usyk happened yet?

Your bias here is transparent.

Wrong again I don't give a fck about Floyds honor, I just don't like BS haters talking BS and my history will show I defend lots of fighters that get hated on, we know what hate is right.

If that's what you seen in that fight good for you, it doesn't mean a thing to anybody else it only reflects what you know and what you feel you cannot see more than you know, then you claim a fighter he is not based on that, now this isn't bias shining through is it, or this a genuine impartial take lol, are you stepping out of the closet?

Lmfao.

When Nevada delayed Floyd’s jail start date in order to make the fight before he went in, Manny went from ready to fight to going to Bob’s son in law to get elective stitches for a wound that had been healed for over 6 months.

daggum always avoids this part of the story when defending Manny for refusing offers to fight.

I really triggered daggum in the other thread such that he felt a need to make a thread in 2024 about this.

Absolutely pathetic.

Manny fans will never be able to come to grips with the fact he turned down $40 mil, the most he would ever made up to that point, to instead make significantly less for cherrypicking JMM figuring he’d get an easy win.

Instead he got embarrassingly KTFO.

That is Karma for making a fight with an opponent he was quoted as saying, he has nothing more to prove’ when JMM asked for a 4th fight.

Manny and Bob tried to use JMM to prove to Floyd he was just as big a name when he wasn’t. They paid for it.

Only thing i wonder is why would Floyd turn down 200+ million for a rematch vs pac because he's a poor sport? It was claimed by many he would easily win again.
