Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Will Not Beat Mosley, Says Ariza

[fcastro1]

I understand that this is your opinion but this is a dumbass statement. The reason I say this because it doesn't matter if his fights sell because of a persona the only thing that matters is the fight selling. That **** you just said was pure hate. Yes Pac is good for boxing and so is PBF. Nobody wants to see the samething all the time. I am fine with you not liking or even hating the persona that PBF has created but you can't knock it because look at what it has gotten him. It has gotten him to a place even Arum thought he could never reach so you can't say he was wrong for doing it.

no. people buy his fights and feel they get robbed for their money, how the hell is that good for the sport. Thats like waiting for a world cup final and seeing a 0-0 draw or a stinker of a superbowl. Yes you generate the interest for that moment but how many fans does he realy bring to the sport? If a guy that has never watched boxing and hears of a mega event that floyd was in, and he buys the ppv but it turns out to be a stinker, will he come back to watch other fights or increase his interest? no. pac is doing the right thing in attracting attention to the sport floyd is not.

This is what I've been saying all along... I still think Fraudy will come up with another fake injury and pull out of this fight...

If said person knew what boxing was all about they would realize they are watching the best boxer in the world do what he does best which is BOX. Pac has attracted a untapped market in boxing which is Philipino people he has not attracted that many more people to the sport other people of his same nationality. Prime example is this board right here. Before Pac's rise to fame there was not this many Philipino people on this board. If you truly look at things all they talk about is Pac not everyone else in boxing. So if 90% of the so called people Pac is attracting are only watching him and saying **** everyone else what is Pac really doing for the sport? Don't take only part of my statement I admit Pac has attracted more than just Philipino people but the overwhemingly majority is Philipino and there is nothing wrong with that. But don't make Pac out to be something he is not.

what are you talking about? i said pac is doing the right thing in attracting fans which is through his fights which is true. attracting fans throught trashtalking then throwing 10 punches a round is not good for the sport.

If Pac is 90+% of the people Manny is supposed to be attracting to boxing are Philipinos and they only watch and care about Manny. What is he really doing for the sport? Meaning once Manny is gone they will be gone. So again what is that REALLY DOING FOR THE SPORT?

You can't be 40-0 by throwing 10 punches a round. Ali is considered the greatest and he trash talked. B-Hop trash talks, James Toney trash talks, Hamed used to trash talk and a lot of others. Come on man the way Pac conducts himself is not the only way. You have to admit that. Its perfectly fine that YOU feel its the best way for a fighter to be. You can't sit here act like thats the only way.

I think Ariza posts under the usernames 'Talisayen' and 'peyk-peyk' on Boxing Scene.

[reynoldsaniana]

yeah but mayweather in every single interview will bring up manny also their both obsesed with each other and they will settle their differneces later this year.

just wondering, is the olympic style drug testing being in effect now for the ssm-pbf fight? i know that GBP and FM production said so but is it really being observed? they might agree on it in paper, but doing it actually is a different thing.
