[titanium]

crushed em again. thread kill ratio is ******ed

It's been dead long ago. It a fixed sport where the casinos mafia decides who wins many of the times. Clottey vs pac (for example). Have anyone hear about this negro peace of **** that sold the fight of his life. Well he had to because there wouldn't be no fight at all without that condition. Who set that up? the casino people. This fight where 3 to 1 on pacs favor. How can that be possible? logicaly because they knew the final result. I went to Vegas to prove my theory and they had a limit on paquiao but no limit on Clottey. How is that? Well, I just prove my case and make $10,000 betting on the street.
The point is boxing is dirtier than never before and is death and those that denies it are only the promoters. nitramzaid@hotmail.com

for starters, odds makers set the initial lines relatively low and by the time your seeing them joe public has altered said lines with who their betting with. pacyow was -800 which means when a bunch of people keep betting on the same guy, the line increases. capice?

the "casino people" dont fix **** because casino's are legal, hence ******** is legal. money will be laid regardless. promoters fix fights.

vegas usually does have a limit on all fights. you think your going to lay 250k at a fuccking vegas window your sorely mistaken.

and btw----if you made 10k on the street then you probably put up at least 80k. i call bull****.

"with gyms in every major city in the world"...and they are all in neighborhoods you would not go into without an armored car and assorted weaponry. There is an MMA gym in every city big or small - far more than boxing gyms. And you can feel safe taking your kids to the gym.

Boxing does need to make itself more accessible for young people who are interested in trying the sport.

I am in Panama, and in speaking to the building guard in the lobby, he told me that one can't go to the gyms in the poorer areas , that it was too dangerous. I had expressed a wish to find one where the guys needed equipment, and sponsor them.

Anyway a consolation prize, he and I will be going to the WBA bantamweight title fight in the middle of August, between Anselmo Moreno, the Champ, and Cermeno, the challenger. A return grudge match. In their first fight if the ref not penalized Cermeno a point, it would have been a draw. Until then, Cermeno was undefeated. Looking forward to it.

Look outside of USA and ask the poeple in Montreal if boxing is dead.
It's full all the time and it's the talk of the town.

I get what you mean about boxing's dirty past, and the current promoter-manipulated matchmaking. But what I don't get about your Clottey example, is that, when you are the mafia, and you're rigging the fight, you usually make the favorite sell the fight and lose, while associates of yours bet on the underdog, ensuring maximum profit. Since Clottey was the underdog, it would make better sense if they bribed Pacquiao into allowing an uspet.

Exactly, people don't realize that it makes no sense to rig a fight so that the big favourite wins.

uk! Help knock these pinoys out of boxing!

Why single out a a single nationality? If you desire a smaller participation on a global scale out of racism, then you are not a boxing fan.
