Comments Thread For: Sugar Ray Leonard Breaks Down Mayweather-Pacquiao

[brickcityboxing]

I agree with you regarding Ray Leonard.....

But I have no idea why he stated that this is a 50/50 fight, when it clearly is not.

There is talking..... for whatever reason, opinions, headlines, popularity, whatever..... and, there is taking action..... such as putting your money where your mouth is.

Yesterday, 50-cent proved that almost all of the comments that he made toward Mayweather in the last 1-2 years..... were fueled by the taste of salt in his mouth, and the feeling of sand in his vagina..... coz when push comes to shove he dropped 1.6 mil on Mayweather.

No idea why Ray said that..... but I would bet my life that were someone to put a gun to his head, it would take him 1 second to pick a name, and it would most likely be the same name that 50 picked .

Really? He's trying to be diplomatic/polite. He may have a good relationship with either of the fighters or their handlers and doesn't want to say so something to offend anyone. If you read between the lines he kinda hinted at what his pick is... I'm sure he has a much more blunt opinion of who will win that he may even share off camera behind closed doors but him making the statement publicly is of no benefit to him.

Or I could be wrong and he really doesn't know.
I find that unlikely though when a fight is this big there isn't much of a gray area people usually stand pretty firm on one side or the other regardless of how close the fight appears to be on paper especially when you have 6 years to make your pick.

so when SRL did not say Floyd is going to win or Pac is going to lose the next option is read between the lines? SRL said it's 50/50 and it is what it is if he says so

you said you could be wrong and then contradict it with you find it unlikely that he did not know.

i guess you have a better shot at bookie topics.

Stop the 50-cent nonsense, please

Floyd's extremely biased worshipers should just stop referencing this ludicrous "50-cent bet 1.6 million dollars" deal, to try and brainwash people into thinking Floyd is the unquestionable favorite and superior boxer.

Do you know what's 50-cent net worth?

About 270 million dollars, last I heard.

Do you know how much is 1.6 million in percentage, from his net worth?

It is less than one percent. 0.6 percent, to be exact.

That is merely crumbs for the rapper, let's see him fork out at least 10 percent of his net worth (27 million dollars or more) and then, we can take him seriously.

Let's say your net worth is half a million dollars and you are a "die-hard" fan of Mayweather, "willing to put your money where your mouth is". If you were to bet a similar amount in percentage, as 50-cent has, you would be "risking" a bit less than 3K from your $500,000-dollar net worth. It doesn't sound like you would be so sure your guy will be winning, does t?

I rest my case.

Yep, I agree with the bold, good point.

Hey dumbass, I do not need to reference anything in order to come to the conclusion that Mayweather is the superior fighter..... but your assumption that 50-cent is happy to "throw away" 1.6 mil, just because it happens to be a small percentage of his net-worth is just plain silly.

No wealthy person would throw away 1.6 mil, for any reason.

He knows he will win.

BTW.....

1) I like Manny, I think that he is a terrific fighter..... so dont drag me into your silly little fan-war

2) you dont know my net worth, so cannot make a comparison

3) regardless as to my net worth, I would not bet 3k on somebody that I thought would lose

[KRITKL]

I really don't understand what he's trying to say in that article.
Lol at Floyd fans saying he's hinting or knows but not saying that Floyd will win.

[brickcityboxing]

He started it off by flat out saying part of him thinks Floyd is going to win and never said the same for pacquiao then he explained that Floyd is undefeated and praising his skills etc.. and then basically said "but I don't know I can't call it" he didn't start it off by saying why it's going to be hard for Floyd to beat Manny... In my opinion he was kind of leaning in Mayweathers direction without actually saying it.

But I doubt there's going to be anything I can say to get you to see where I'm coming from and I really can't prove my point so it is what it is.

You sound like an idiot ... And. Yes 3k would be a lot for someone with a net worth of 500k. His house 350k = of his 500k... Another 100k invested his business maybe 20k or so in savings and another 30k in readily available liquid.
3k is a pretty hefty bet when you factor in the guys monthly nut...

But you can keep thinking 50 cent has a Scrooge Mcduck vault with 270M in his mansion that he dives into every morning.... And he's afraid to put up 10% of his net worth in a single fight because he doesn't have enough faith in his decision... So he's just throwing out a tiny 1.6M feeler bet lol

Ok I am spending a bit more time on this, just because yo had the nerve to call me "dumbass", which shows how poorly-educated you are. But I will not stay silent after that.

A lot of wealthy people throw away way more than less than one percent of their net worth when they feel "sure" of winning. Just go to Vegas' betting places, any other casinos elsewhere, the horse races, online ********, even the stock and commodity market. Been there, done that.

That is just a very little risk there, for someone who feels so "sure" his guy is the better guy. Not even worth mentioning in the news. I'm pretty sure there are many people out there betting way more than that, both in millions of dollars and in percentage, on either fighter, but of course they are not Floyd's friends and will not get in the news for it.

I don't care about you or your net worth whatsoever. It is ridiculous that you even mentioned that, the half a million net worth was just a simple example of someone more average, as opposed to a rich and famous artist, making a similar bet in percentage, to illustrate my point. Speaking of dumb, only dumb people take general assertions as personal ones.

And I couldn't care less whether or not you will bet anything on anybody, again you made this personal. So personal, that it sounds like you are personally offended by anyone questioning Floyd's chances to win, even though you claim to "like Pacquiao".

I DON'T LIKE FLOYD, I admit it, I will not try to be "politically correct" and try to pretend to be impartial in this fight. I dislike extremely-defensive fighters, such as Floyd, Rigondeaux and the whole Cuban boxing school. In fact, I'd go the extra mile and call them cowardly, rather than being nice and calling them "defensive". I love watching fighters FIGHT, that's why I enjoy, and I root for guys like Manny, or Tyson, or Roberto Duran, or Marvin Haggler in his time.

You may waste your time and respond back, very likely in poor taste again, using offensive adjectives instead of reasoning to try and impose your point of view, but you will be talking to a wall because I am done wasting my time with someone like you.

Another Floyd worshiper, using offensive adjectives and bold letters to try to impose his/her point of view.

I already explained the reasoning behind what I wrote, in a somewhat lengthy text to the person I responded to originally. Calling someone worshiper is not the same as calling someone dumbass or idiot, and sounding offended and angry, taking it personally. Go ahead and keep worshiping your idol, I couldn't care less. But if 50-cent wasn't a famous rapper and friends of Floyd, he wouldn't even be in the news about that silly bet, to try and help Floyd's biased fans impose their viewpoint on others with a different opinion.
