Comments Thread For: WBA Turns Back on Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor Fight

[GhostofDempsey]

So do all the Floyd fans. SO pointing the finger at us like we stopped watching HBO fights or stopped supporting GBP or ARum is complete and utter bullshit.

Yes, some of his fights were crap. The production ******. Just don't act like that is why posters didn't watch the shows.

I see your join date but I am sure you are someone who had a different name and was here before that so you know exactly what I am talking about.

I agree with you it happened in this era but it wasn't Floyd fans that did it. it was other posters that decided to be HBO/Arum lovers.

why do you call pointing out the obvious as ****ting on the WBA? The fight is garbage. The WBA saying they want no part of it is preemptive so they can look better.

Floyd and Conor are not going to pay out anymore sanctioning fees than the bare minimum required to stage the event. You know this. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows this.

I swear this is why this BS fight is going to happen because so many of you bring added attention to this farce because you are pissed off Floyd is going to make so much money for this.

I am not some alt or troll. I belong to other forums as well and this is a constant among Floyd fans across the board.

Floyd created this divide in boxing and his fans are all sheep in the herd, following their master. Haymon good--Arum bad. Roach sucks, HBO is garbage, anyone Manny fought was a bum--whover Floyd fought was an ATG. It never ends. Now Floyd fans want to give Floyd credit for all of Canelo's future wins. Now the WBA is suddenly garbage because they stood for what is right. Stop with the deflecting and excuses. Own your fanboy shyt.

So we've got fans of fighters, promoters, managers, coaches, and networks as a result of the Mayweather era, now we can fans of sanctioning bodies to the list, LMFAO! Floyd fans are so pathetic.

This era began as the Del La Hoya era and morphed into the Pacquaio/Mayweather era. The 1980's era of Duran, Hearns, Leonard and Hagler was an era of true Greats.

where this fight is at it will be a sanction boxing match the wbc, wba, ifb, wbo, has nothing to with if this fight is a exhibition or not so im sure Floyd and Connor could careless what the wba says

[GhostofDempsey]

For all the criticism of the WBA, at least they are taking action to suspend two of the judges from the Murata/N'Dam decision and ordering a rematch of the Barthelemy fight.

You buy hype all the time, so do I, everybody does, its just we don't all buy the same hype.

Casuals will buy lots of this because they will buy into the hype that is generated by the media and 80% of buys will be just purely for entertainment value. We have celebrity events of all kinds this is one of those, and people will buy it, blame the world and the way it ticks over because that's the way it is, hype always sells to somebody.

and that's what I said,,the ones that don't know much just heard of their names will buy,thinking it's going to be a great,competitive,even fight,,when in reality it's just an amateur vs an accomplished boxer,,this is a business fight,not a competitive one...I already know how this fight will be,,,Floyd moving around,jab,move,jab,move,hold,and the samething over again,while the amateur looks totally lost...I pay for fights that are even,that I can say I really don't know who will win,,but here I already know who will win,easily,and Floyd will

Is the WBC going to require Mr. Money IV to use VADA testing - I doubt the WBC will be involved.

Floyd only uses his buddies at the corrupt USADA. He has never subjected himself to VADA. In fact, he wouldn't fight Pacquiao unless Pacquiao dropped his VADA demand. So much for cleaning up the sport.
