GBP haven't done ANY OSDT on any of their cards what a shame. These guys are suppose to be anti-doping promotion.

Hold up! Are you seriously discrediting Hatton and Oscar regarding Floyd? Now I know for sure that you are just a Manny fan. If you weren't, then you would know that Manny fought them after Floyd. Hatton was undefeated and held a title at 147 and Oscar was at his comfortable weight (154), with Freddie Roach in his corner and he sparred with Shane to prepare for Floyd. How can you say Pac's legacy is better than Floyd's when Floyd fought a better Hatton and Oscar?.... Pac didn't FACTS. Are you SERIOUSLY trying to discredit the Shane win? Roach and Pac ducked shane hard after Margarito when Shane was the top WW in the division. Pac is fighting Shane after Floyd beat him up and a bad Mora draw. You have got to be kidding. Baldomir beat the Undisputed Champion (Zab Judah) at the time and became the Lineal champion and Floyd beat Zab and Baldomir to become the #1 WW. Pac hasn't done that since his move to WW. Basically your argument is to discredit 3 guys Floyd beat prior to Pac that were clearly better physically and mentally. Get out of here with that BULL****.

you missed my point.

its about discrediting the wins, like what you have with pac. im not interested in doing this ****ing lame as arguments that has been done to death.

its not just me who thinks pacquiao had a better career than floyd and oscar.

put up a poll in the history section

Be easy, that dude is just excited for tomorrow night in hopes of a great competitive fight. He's clearly delusional when ranting on about Pac's Top Rank run at WW.

The sad thing is, I just watched how badly Mosley looked vs Mayweather and Mora and its sad that finally Pac agrees to fight Mosley now that he's almost 40 and on a 2 year non winning streak (much like Clottey and Margarito). Its sad Mosley couldn't get Pac from 140-147 a few years ago. I think "too good" Mosley begged.... It was quit pitiful to see a grown man beg another fighter to fight him. What was worse is, the response from Team Pac. Its almost as bad as Bob Arum saying Pac will never fight a GBP fighter.

Like I've been saying for years, Bob Arum has an agenda.... = BAD for boxing.

i actually think its a crap fight.... but whatever floats your boat.

pacquiao and mayweather's run at ww are not particularly impressive if you look at it, there is legit argument that pac's run at ww and above is just about as good as floyd.


which is pretty ****ing embarassing considering wow long floyd has been campaigning at it

DLH is in his position because of money that was invested in him. Just like any other athlete, they know nothing of the business side, which is why they are courted and signed in the first place.


Or did you really think Golden Boy Promotions has been operating since the 92 Olympics?

Popularity doesn't mean s hit when you don't know how to make money from it.

Thats what promoters do.

You are where you are because of your boss at work.

You see your house, your kids, your car? You did nothing to get that, it was all your boss for even hiring you. You wouldn't have been where you are without the people that have hired you to work. Your hardwork means nothing, your personality that got you hired, your resume before landing that good job, all of that means nothing.


Does that sound right to you? I mean it should, in your world.

Michael Jordan was gonna be Michael Jordan, no matter what agent/manager invested money in him, A-Rod, Kobe Bryant, Wayne Gretzky, all of the other sports figures, no matter what manager/adviser/agent they chose, they were gonna be great no matter what.

So the negotiations with Mayweather/GBP were all BS?

[deejd]

arum already has them lined up.I wont be suprised if arum signed collazo
offering him to manny for next year.Top rank also has prospect mike jones
to be in with manny.

Arum knows not to put Pacquiao in there with Collazo, no way he'd sacrifice Pacquiao for somebody as little known and talented as Collazo.

You got one or two years of Manny left Bob. Make all the money you can, because all the bridges you have burned will come back to haunt you once you dont have the cash cow anymore.

That's why they used Ross Greenburg as a mediator, and it was with Al Haymon.

What's crazy is GBP wouldn't consider Texas as a site for the fight, then it all went down hill from there; now they're considering it as a site for possible Mayweather fight.

OSDT, they haven't put it on any of their cards, they were this is for the sport. They haven't put their bark into practice.

Mayweather tells Pacquiao to take the tests, then turns around and says Mosley should dope up for the Pacquiao fight. What kind of ish is that?
