Augustus calls for a hit to be placed on himself

[Bozo_no no]

Im still waiting-why cant we talk boxing over the phone...Im not gonna bite you...your gonna find out Im a high quality son of a *****!

The only reason why you dont call me is if your an 11 year old girl...if that is the case the I understand why you wont call me...do you have big **** bozo?

CALL ME!

Keep dreaming Scappy. Just sit there and watch the phone. Someone's bound to call you eventually, even if it's just a wrong number.

Actually that was a line that I uased to corner the bitches with...the response I used to get is as follows

SCAP "What would be a reason for you not to call sweatheart?"

Sweatheart "Well, for instacne if you fill me full of you man meat and I tear I doubt I will call"

Usually that is how it went...

So like I say to all my bitches-your no exception Bozo :why arent you gonna call me?

There is a reason Augustus has only had two-odd weeks notice for a lot of his fights- he's never a first-choice fighter. Clearly someone who fills in for injured boxers etc, how is Hatton's stock going to rise by fighting someone like that? At least with Collazo he is fighting someone young with something to prove, and stepping up a weight to the (at the moment) superior division gives a clear signal of his intent: He's gonna be a two-weight champion, and although belts are a moot point in comparison to the prestige of a large fight, it says to me that he's more than prepared to challenge in that division as well, and not be left behind in light-welter.

Because Hatton's MO is to gain new fans in North America. The bottom line is that Collazo brings nothing to that agenda.

Not to mention his title is a joke.

i just personally dont think he has anything to gain in this fight as far as respect or accolades therefore the sole pupose of it should be to garner attention and if that is the sole purpose then obviously he needs to fight the most POPULAR opponent not one that necessarily deserves it.

its kinda like how toney got to fight rahman before maskaev, that what people want to see, why jerk around with this unknown collazo (maskaev)

We just look at it differently.

Ricky Hatton fighting insided the United States isgoing to garner all the attention in the world from real boxing fans period.

People who tune into HBO and Showtime for big league fights tune in for just that big league fights...the fact that Ricky Hatton is fighting Emanule Agustus is not going to bring any more fans over to watch then if he was fighting you.

Does Agustus get play on the radio? Does he get play in the newspapers? Is he a household name among casual fight fans?

Agan the simple fact that Ricky Hatton has crossed the pond is all the hype this fight needs (he doesnt need Burton-Burton is not Gatti)...plus he is fighting a guy in pretty much the other guys backyard...this is a nice little matchup for his first fight in yankville!

Holy **** I am sitting in a starbucks right now and guess what I just heard...there were these two guys talking and one said, "hey dude did you hear Ricky Hatton is fighting on Showtime in the states"...the other guy said "who is Ricky Hatton?"...."some white guy that supposed to be pretty tough thats all I really know"...."who's this white guy fighting?" ..."thats the best part of this deal dude, he's fighting Emanuel Augustus!"...."no ****ing way-looks like were havin a keg dude!"

No one outside of our little ****ing cult group gives a **** ass about Emanuel Burton!
