      on one thread he says there were none.

      on another he says he had "inside sources" confirming there were.

      he can't seem to make up his fckin mind.

        is that a fact or an opinion?

Hauser is bright, but is one of those sports writers who only follows boxing when there is a big controversy or story taking place. Then they write columns like this that are based on limited facts, asinine opinions and the comments from the loudest talkers (in this case, Bob Arum).
          That is your opinion then. I do believe he is one of the more reputable writers here. Have you read his piece on the first nego with the main point of discussion being OST ... also the HBO piece... both were very impartial and well written in my opinion.

            Pacroid wanted to fight margaret all along. And they're going where there's no drug testing at all.

              Do you say that this one was factually inaccurate?

                  I have news for you. This is common practice in boxing. How do you think Oscar De La Hoya was able to convince HBO to give him 12 dates for his fighters over the course of a year when other promoters were begging for dates. Do you actually believe that HBO was clamoring to see stinkers like Victor Ortiz-Maidana fight or Khan-Malignaggi. He did it by telling them they had to give him the dates if they wanted to broadcast his fights when he was still active. This is not unusual. All promoters do it, including Bob Arum. Haymon just happens to be the only manager with that kind of power.

                    Its amazing how people can flip **** and use context clues to come to the conclusion Floyd is scared of Manny and is sole the reason the fight didnt happen.




                    But ignore every shred of evidence of Pac and his su****ion of PED usage, painting a picture of certainty that hes clean.

                    Snr says "Pacs on PEDs" = crack head"
                    Snr says "He aint fighting unless Pac Take them test" = Hes now a reliable source of information reagarding negoations between Pac and Floyd.

                    Amazing.

                      Dear Vito Corleone,

                      The article is one based on recent events. I believe the date and corresponding quotes are factually correct. If said writer failed to write the replies to those quotes, it is yours to provide considering you are the one dis*****g the quotes in the article. He injected his opinion of the whole ordeal which is shocking to me considering I consider the writer as reputable.

                      Hope you understand.

                      Kind regards,
