Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Reading Won’t Define My Place in History

[Hands of Stone]

your 1st post suggested using the ear test, I didn't make that up. You only advocate that because manny refused twice. Refusing the fight twice weighs more than saying you want it for a few years. why? because actions speak louder than words.

If this was any other fight we are discussing or if Floyd had refused twice you wouldn't suggest using some ear test and you know it.

I agree it has to be give and take, that what the 1st negotiation was. In your line of work there is also a point where if your offers have been rejected, you look elsewhere, right?

Nope. Offers and Acceptance is what I know if my line of work. They have to occur in unison. In this case, they never both happened so we are where we are today. I have no interest in your article 'cos in my line of work, we call that speculation, hearsay or just a matter of opinion. My article specifically brought in a point I was trying to emphasizing which was that "the HBO brass confirmed negotiations rather than Arum confirming it while Floyd's team vehemently denied it". I am done with this topic. Peace out.

[Hands of Stone]

Yeah but that never happened. Why would HBO mediate anything?

And yes there was a mediator, who came out after and said Top Rank was lying. That actually happened.

It would be nice to be educated about the topic of discussion before interjecting with a blind rebuttal. You just need to stay up on the Floyd-Manny saga. Obviously you haven't else you will know this actually happened. Here is link for you. Good reading

My daughter is in 1st grade and had a reading assignment. She did really good. I kid u not I said to myself "man she reads better than floyd"

I hope yo mean, 'she did really well', not "good". teach her the difference.

I love reading posts like that!! It shows you Floyd isn't the only one who has some literacy issues.

[SUBZER0ED]

So this idiot pretty much admitted he's illiterate. What a dumbass.

He can't read, he's a racist, he beats on women, he's a felon, he makes ridiculous diva demands and is secretly having man on man sex with Ellerbie those steroid freaks that walk around with him, and he hangs our with Justin Beeber and that other little alien looking weirdo with the gold teeth.

How anyone can be a fan of Mayweather is beyond me.

Guess it's not a secret anymore. The question is, how do you know??

[SUBZER0ED]

They actually are

Apes are considered to be intelligent. Do you think they are educated?

Link not found.

And no HBO never acted as a mediator. There was a mediator who, after doing his job, told the public that Top Rank was lying. Don't blame me.

No Floyd, only fighting the best fighters out there and your main rivals/threats can do that and on that score you have failed abysmally and embarrassingly.

Not being able to read will not make your accomplishments more amazing because reading has nothing to do with boxing. Making fun of anyone else not being able to read is not funny, but it is funny when the person is arrogant. It wasn't funny when Floyd called manny chinese either, but he still did it. He said he had on off day. You can have an off day doing many things, such as cooking, drawing, or playing sports, but never reading. That is a basic skill. Even if you could have a bad day, the amount of times he stuttered and started over is ridiculous. He says he can't read like a news anchor, but it looks like he is having trouble reading like a fifth grader
