Which is more pathetic?

Thumper! I like your style..

The more I've been thinking about it though, a Mayweather/McGregor PPV could be big for BOXING. I posted in another thread about it a few days ago.

Most young mma fans (kids) don't really know boxing superstars I'm assuming. They LOVE Conor McGregor. If half of those kids parents buy the PPV and see a BOXER knock their hero out... it may lead to intrigue. Could help BOXING gain some of those mma fans possibly.

Too many posts it seems to me are "too short". Persons trying only to be *short/cute on words. Much of what I will read on boxing forums and other wise too. But, you try to be comprehensive!

Floyd vs Mcgregor is an epic joke and if you buy it you're a moron.
Manny at the olympics is fine with me, he loves his country.. actually I'd rather see Floyd fight for his country and get that Gold medal he should have. If pros are allowed in hockey, basketball and whatever else Olympic sport then why not boxing..I know it would get me to watch if that's what they're aiming for.

very well said....

i can not understand why people single out pac joining the olympics...

when the olympics boxing door opens, other pros can join, too...yes?

and even amateurs are not just plucked from their homes....

they have to go through tough qualifying rounds....

additionally, the age and amateur rules factors may set in...who knows?...

i don't see or hear such protests when young amateur fighters join the pro league....

The PAC fan logic is astounding. Most guys won't even win a world title but an atg should get a chance to steal a medal from them? Lol

Hey bud you do understand you've had guys like Rigo and Lomachenko who've been in multiple Olympic games right? They could have beaten 99% of any pros that entered the competition and I'm sure there are amateurs that could beat many pro fighters right now...

steal? really?

now, will that be the case, say, if pros fight each other for an olympics medal?

if countries send their pros or their best fighters. will it not raise the games standards?

Well, NBA All Stars aren't being sent to the Olympics to punch a bunch of 19 year olds in the face, lol.

I agree with the second part, though.

How many 19 yo am boxers actually go to the Olympics?

Most of them are in their 20's or even 30's.

And if they allow pros, most his comp will be other countries pros too.

Ok but what does that to do with what I said lol.

That's different. If all pros did it and it was accepted by all then ok. But until then manny and wlad or whoever shouldn't be trying to medal vs amateurs. This is boxing not basketball

[HanzGruber]

Besides pros fighting in the olympics is kind of redundant. We already know who the best pros are by rankings and championships. The point of Olympic boxing is who can be the best amateur.

Point is how is it stealing when it's possible you could face guys like those 2 not to mention other countries sending thier own pro fighters to compete as well. It's obvious they want exposure, they did away with head gear and now they want pros to get involved..

"But until then manny and wlad or whoever shouldn't be trying to medal vs amateurs."

until then? i believe there is a set age limit......so no.....

when the olympics door open, pros who wish to join should walk in and join.....

will it be fair to those who wish to join to be held up just because others don't want to join?
