Everybody had to reweigh except Broner. It's almost as if they set the scale to take off a few lbs for AB then tried resetting it but messed up.
    The f#ck part II. Is this legit? Anyone got a link to a story or video? This sounds potentially sketchy.

    And f#ck sides. Too many cats up in here are like ********s and **********s about things and will fight and argue for their side when a lot of this stuff has nothing to do with sides. Sometimes f#cked up sh-t is just f#cked up sh-t regardless if you like a boxer, trainer, promoter or network or not.

        if he was still on the payroll it would be a conflict of interest for sure, but he's not. IIRC he worked for HBO, too.
        After 4 pages someone finally gets it right haha

            Why would any former judge ever share their expertise if it disqualified them for life from returning to judging big fights?

            Your position is ridiculous, as has been pointed out by many in this thread. You weren't even aware that he'd worked for HBO as well (and more often).

            You're a conspiracy theory nut job. Plain and simple. Who lost his ass pretending to be in the business.

            Most of press row had Broner winning. There was nothing controversial about the scoring. Inventing controversies that don't exist. As always. Time for more tin foil.

              several guys weighed in overweight, so the scale was fixed and they re-weighed.

              broner didn't have to re-weigh because he made weight even with the messed up scale. which means broner probably really weighed under 146.

                      How could Steve Weisfeld's conflict of interest not have been OBVIOUS to the Ohio commission? And he unsurprisingly turns in a scorecard with the widest margin (7-3) for the Showtime fighter?

                      Boxing doesnt even try to hide its corruption / incompetence anymore. And people wonder why its a fringe sport......

Are you saying he is no longer allowed to judge the biggest fights in boxing (those that air on HBO and SHO) because he has at one time worked for HBO and SHO? It's interesting that you had nothing to say when he was judging fights for HBO PPVs last year. Maybe it is you who has an agenda?

                      Terry you make a valid point but it rings hollow when you look at Pigeons and New England's posts.

                      This is the same stuff you do when justifying negotiations for a fighter you like but criticizing it when its a fighter you don't.

                      You seem to only find conspiracy, cowardice and corruption when Haymon or a Haymon fighter is involved. The exact same thing will happen with another entity or a non Haymon employed/associated fighter and you either ignore it or don't see it so negatively.

                      When called on this you attack the poster and claim they are defending Haymon or trying to get on the payroll etc.

                      This more than just bias on your part. It feels personal.
