Why ****** Garcia wont KO Lucas Matthysse

[Mr. Philadel]

there is no side to boxing other than "the business side."


do you really think these guys care about proving anythign to you or me? they fight for money. you can stay ignorant if you'd like.


garcia just took on the toughest fighter in his division and won. he did it on an undercard, and took less money. it looks like they're positioning him to fight floyd mayweather, and make several million dollars in one night.



if you want to watch fights that don't involve money, and fighters that are not financially motivated, watch amateur boxing, or a fight at your local bar.

watching pro boxing, and ceaselessly complaining about fighters who box for money, is naive.

thanks for the green, dog. i appreciate it.

i really like bushbaby, too. he know it. he's a good guy.

there are definitely times to complain about boxing being ordered by money. i'm gonna complain all day about broner being on PPV, for example.

danny definitely isn't one of those fighters to complain about. he was an underdog against khan, an underdog against lucas. he took B side money against khan, and took undercard money against lucas. i mean really, how many fighters are going to fight lucas matthysse [coming off of the peterson destruction,] for undercard money?

danny's the real deal. he's willing to fight the best guys. he's proven that. he should get paid handsomely now that he's the best 140 lber on the planet. the guy is probably going to go to the UK to fight khan, and then after that it's on to the best fighter in the world, floyd mayweather.

And now we see people complaining and crying. Thread like this is one shows why people just can't be taking seriously anymore when you see them crying now.

LMFAO did not need a KO just box circles around him! And if they fight again the results will be the same!

That is how you beat Matthysse...YOU BOX HIM!

There's nothing naive about it. I don't give a $h!t about the business side cause they aren't paying (me). Khan/Garcia is a cherrypick, worthless fight and the 'business" side of boxing cannot and will not change that. You can defend it if you want. I'll call it what it is.

Cherry pick ... Is a little much. How many people picked Garcia to beat Khan going into the first fight as an 8-1 underdog ? How many people til this day believe the punch Garcia landed was a fluke and that Khan was dominating Garcia before the punch landed ? How often does a champ (khan) get ko'd like that and not get a shot at redemption ? If Khans team hadn't overlooked Garcia they would've had a rematch clause in place and we wouldn't even be talking about this... I wouldn't fault Garcia for taking a rematch with Khan and I wouldn't fault him if he didnt. He's fought and beat everybody that's been placed in front of him even the guys he was supposed to lose to.

Who wouldn't be a cherrypick?

Honestly, I want them to continue crying. I love it.

They deserve the pain the way they were crucifying homeboy.

you're really doing yourself a disservice separating yourself from "business" in boxing.


you work, right?

do you do it for money?

if you ahd hte opportunity to do it for more money, would you?

now what it you got punched for a living, and risked your life and career every time you fought? what if your career was only a few years long?
would you fight for more money, or just "some money?"


would you fight to please somebody you don't even know (you,) or your own family?



you can chose to be naive if you want. taking it personally when boxers fight for money is absurd. they all fight for money. every single one of them.

This is the best post I have ever seen on here for a long while, people alway want to play to play the "I don't care for the money side" etc of things like it makes less of a fan. I don't think anyone cares for the business side of boxing but we all understand that side of things. It is what makes or break a fight and I for one would have no problem if Garcia choose to go for a money fight after giving the fans what they asked for in the Matthyse fight.
