I did have a phone like that in hs. But why do you assume I'm white? Lol. And living vicariously through them? How soComment

That sounds like a totally reasonable rule.
EDIT: Not because of Bayless/Floyd, just seems like a generally preferable thing. Also worth rotating judges.

Lol yeah, you hit the nail on the head buddy. That's exactly how he comes across. Appreciating black athletes and their talent is one thing, having them as your avatar/signature and constantly defending them on an internet forum is an entirely different thing altogether.Comment

Bayless, 64, of Las Vegas, is used to being under an intense spotlight. He has refereed many major fights, including the two biggest-selling pay-per-view bouts in history, both of which were Mayweather fights -- against Oscar De La Hoya in 2007 and Canelo Alvarez in 2013. Mayweather-Pacquiao is expected to break the record once again.
Bayless, who will be paid $25,000 for the night's work, has officiated five Mayweather bouts (added by me-floyd/manny makes 6 fights), the other ones being his rematch against Marcos Maidana last September, Shane Mosley in 2010 and his 1996 professional debut against Roberto Apodaca.
Bayless has also refereed seven Pacquiao fights (added by me 8 with floyd/Manny): Timothy Bradley II (2014), Juan Manuel Marquez IV (2012) and II (2008), Mosley (2011), Miguel Cotto (2009), Ricky Hatton (2009) and Erik Morales II (2006).Comment

So more Pac fights then Floyd fights but that doesnt matter because Bayless, regardless of fight, is one of the best.http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id...pacquiao-fight

I do like the idea of what someone else posted about using different refs in next fights though.Comment

True, I just posted that for the daggum's of NSB.
I do think refs and judges should not judge back to back fights. Selection of refs and judges should be random, with a smaller pool to select for "big" fights.Comment
