    Are you puzzled there is life beyond being a flowmoe?

    You guys get a boner when Mayweather stinks up the joint, with a clinch fest. And gets his tooth knocked out in the process.


    Yet when an exciting bad ass fighter like Herrera is fighting, it's "who is he."

    What a ****ing joke.

    Good post man. This place is littered with haymon, mayweather fan boys. Pathetic.

      Pac vs Garcia

      Many more

      The worm in the soup now is HAYMON
      Those fights are ok but honestly Bradley vs Garcia is the WW fight that excites me the most other than Pac vs Floyd. I think Bradley outboxes Garcia to a unanimous decision but man I could see some really good exchanges between them.

        Thank you. But don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people being a fan of Mayweather and his boxing skills. But to walk around like your **** don't stink them it's like bruh:

        1st you ain't Mayweather, you're just a fan.

        2nd Mayweather is boring as F1CK, all his fights suck. I do t give a f1ck why, or because he's dominant I whatever. He's been in like 4 good entertaining fights in his entire career. That's not a coincidence.

        So for someone to praise Mayweather just off his name and not his boring ass fights, and to say "who is he" to a fighter that's actually worth watching: is their opinion, but it's a ******, ignorant opinion. And makes them look like a flat out flowmoe.

        That concludes my rant for this morning.

          Them working together is out of necessity than for the good of boxing. Oscar doesn't have the majority of Haymon fighters under contract which is the bulk of who has been fighting under the his banner. After Manny at Top Rank the cupboard is bear until one there prospects is ready. Chavez Jr. and Mikey Garcia want to leave. Nonito is finished as a top fighter. Tim Bradley is fighting in front 2500k in the Cosmo vs somebody he has no interest in fighting. Other than Canelo vs Cotto (who is a promotional free agent) what fights can they make we really want to see.

            How is he "just as bad as Mayweather"? What did Mayweather do to deserve to be called just as bad as Arum?

              Time for a little history lesson:

              September 23, 2010:

              Golden Boy and Top Rank have been at odds for years over Pacquiao, who once signed with both companies virtually simultaneously in late 2006. Pacquiao eventually pledged his loyalty to Top Rank, but the damage was done.


              Golden Boy sued Top Rank, with which it was already embroiled in various lawsuits. The bad blood between Arum and Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer and De La Hoya, Arum's former fighter, led to a cold war between the companies. They refused to do business with each other, denying fight fans a number of marquee matches between their fighters.

              Golden Boy Promotions sued bitter rival promotional powerhouse Top Rank, its chairman, Bob Arum, and chief financial officer David Lopez in federal court Tuesday, accusing them of racketeering and millions of dollars in fraud.


              It wasn't Floyd who started the cold war, it was Arum and Oscar. The settlement reached said GBP would get a portion of the money made from Manny's fights while he was with TR. When Manny fought a GBP fighter, GBP was in on the accounting. When Manny fought TR fights, Oscar had to rely on Arum's accounting, and we all know how that went down! That's the "cold war" lesson for the day.

              Message to Oscar, "Those who forget history, are doomed to repeat it!'

                  You trash the best fighter in the sport and hype some nobody. That makes you a hater.

                    What stadium? You have to have both fighters that want to fight before you build a stadium. Not just one fighter. Before you sell tickets to the stadium, alley or schoolyard. This is the lamest pac don't want to fight floyd excuse. Pac is from the gutter he has nothing to loose.

                      Timothy Bradley is the most over rated fighter in the sport. He isnt that good and he didnt win the Alexander fight. He was given a gift technical decision that he didn't deserve.
