Comments Thread For: DeGale: Mayweather Talks Rubbish, Has Big Ego, All About Him

[bigdunny1]

Saying that he bet on the fight he was promoting,then saying it was fixed diminished what should have been a great night for Floyd.I'd never agree to fight a TMT fighter in Vegas again.

If Floyd wants to be taken serious as a promoter he better never mention betting on one of the fights he promotes again. That opens a huge can of worms I'm not even sure if that is legal. Like what's to stop him from betting against one of his fighters and then telling him to take a dive. Or if you the casino and he betting on some fighters of his to win but not others that's basically telling people you don't think they gonna win. What's the difference between this and what Pete Rose did and the trouble he got, betting on games he managed.

Either way just looks bad. Also can't be crying that a close fight was robbery let alone that other promoters paid them off. Especially when the other fighter is down with Haymon I'm sure he loved hearing that one.

That fight was no damn robbery> It was a close fight and the judges awarded the more flashy fighter.

They traded KD's and went toe to toe. How was that a robbery.

See bradley-pacman 1 and kovalev ward---THOSE Will each you what a robbery is

Froch, Callum Smith, and several prominent British commentators all said they felt Jack took the fight. DeGale was tough in the ring but he definitely got bested over the length of the 12 rounds.

It was "robbery" if you think about what Jack has been going through lately. The guy is a hell of a tough fighter, that keeps getting these bad decisions. At some point things have to break his way.

Mayweather is just doing what a promoter should do for his fighter. We've seen promoters say things like this for years.

I agree great fight both deserved it! The issue is mayweather jumped on the mic and started talking about him and tbh no 1 cares anymore. Jack has drawn pass 2 fights, what does that say about him? Either no judges like him or he isn't as convincing in winning rounds I'm going with the later of the 2

Jack was robbed of a rightful win , it was a great contest and exciting but make no mistake Jack won

no its the first. he won both fights clearly. clean punches are worth more than unclean punches that hit gloves.

In other news, dirt gets things dirty.

It was a fair draw move on. DeGale is a UK fighter and got a draw in the US props for achieving that.

[Travycat]

I didn't watch this...so the draw was fair?

Floyd made headlines all week but they were only about himself. That's why nobody knew or cared about this fight, drew only 454K viewers. He made tons of TV and radio with his promoter hat on but spent that time just hogging the spotlight and making it about him and not the fighters or event he's promoting. After the fight he did it again and embarrassed himself calling a close fight a robbery.

Eddie Hearn keeping it real.
