Hey Mods! Can we have a forum subsection for "bizznezzmen boxers?

They should have picked a different occupation then. Not my problem they chose their profession.

Who won Forrest vs Mayorga?

Vernon Forest was not a smart bizznezzman and there went his career didn't it? but you enjoyed your little KO and moved on with your life.

Real boxing fans understand that this is prize fighting after all...and courage will not keep the machine that's pumping oxygen through your lungs whilst you lay in a coma indefinitely....you know what a sad state it is that your family has to pull the plug because they cant afford the medical bills.

And what, these boxers are forced to fight? Is this slavery? They knew of the consequences before they chose to lace em up. There's plenty of professions where hazards are involved, including coal mining and sewage work.

Well these coal minors and sewage workers are dimwits for what they get paid -- fortunately for professional prize fighters including other athletes they have businesses advisers; even if they wanted to please the sewage workers and the avarage boxingscene keyboard warrior their promoters would not allow such foolishness when millions of dollars are at stake...sorry bubba back to UFC you go.

Floyd offering $40 million was obviously a duck move at the time.You may repeat it all you want, but it's not resonating, especially when Pac made more than $150 million in the fight. Not a bad business decision after all.

Dumbest post. 2010 compared to 2015. 40 million guaranteed in his biggest payday. Floyd helps Pac pay his taxes and pleases the industry even though Pac got put to sleep by Marquez. Dumbest posts Insee around. Pac will forever be in debt to Floyd, and he's still debt too doe! But it was good business move by both fighters. One got labeled #48 fo lifez

The Lil G **** blowers have quite the selective imagination. You have to admire the persistence of the rabid LITTLE bunch though. That's for sure.

Every other sport does not have the mortality rate as boxing. MORON.

What you fail to understand is the fact that doing missmatches INCREASES the odds of injuries and fatalities , do you fear for Ward or Kovalev health when the fight is over ? i am not , i know it will be a tough fight with both of them knowing how to fight and defend and protect themselves , but when you put Kovalev with a "bum" as ppl like to call them , you really are asking for trouble.
So if you are in fact worried about the fighterts well being you need to ask for BALANCED MATCHMAKING , which you dont..... the best fighting the best actually will cause less severe injuries then the best figthing the missmatch.
So are you all for best fighting the best even its not for the maximum money that can be made if the let it marinade ? or if its a smart bussiness move to go down to 154 to grab the championship from the weakest WC in that division?

the only one who is in danger of being brain damaged now days are those poor guys going in there for 200k vs elite fighters that dont want to risk it themselves against other elites.
