Comments Thread For: Hopkins Rips Mayweather: Shows a Lack of Respect For Boxing!

[Elroy The Great]

boxers and promoters are not wrong for shaming this scam, but it comes off as them being jealous~
''may is going to get 100 mil to fight 'that' guy ?!?!?!?!?!'' is what it comes down to.

mma/ufc fans and casuals will buy it. no amount of negativity will matter.

It's all about the money B-Hop. I doubt Hopkins and De La Hoya would be saying this type of stuff if Canelo was fighting McGregor and they can make a huge amount of money. They would have said it's the 'fight of the century'.

Good point, probably true.

Are you new here? It Is perfectly fine to agree or disagree with the same person on different topics. That doesn't work that way around here. There are certain members that will praise someone when they agree with what that person Is saying and than rip them to shreds and call them names when they disagree.

There Is a proper way to agree and disagree and that was the point of my post. Now do you have an understanding, ******?

Now do us a favor and squirm back Into your mother's c**t and free up some room on this board for a semi Intelligent post.

Oh wise one, please explain to me what

Have to do with each other. After all, according to you, "This is gonna be good." As if agreeing or disagreeing one way or the other implies some kind of bias.

This isn't like Mayweather calling Alex Ariza a cheater and then inviting him to his team. THEN you would have a point, because those subjects are in direct correlation to each other. Correlation between topics is where I'm getting at, and is where your agenda falls flat. However, I know you don't know what "correlation" means, seeing as your ******ed in all.

Your agenda of "HAHA I can't wait to see how Ward/Mayweather fans make themselves look ****** by trying to flip this," falls flat because one has NOTHING to do with the other. And you know how I know this is your agenda, because you specifically used...

As a comparison. Now, I don't know Hopkins personally, but I'm pretty sure in his 50 years of living that he's said something we would all agree and disagree with. So, why pull this "random" quote out of your ass???

Now go on, SQUIRM

Lol, like it wasn't bad for boxing when Canelo threw his belt in the bin to avoid fighting Golovkin.

Like it wasn't bad for boxing when Canelo fought a chinny welterweight who aint done nothing in the welterweight division and they tried to sell it as a legit fight.

Like it wasn't bad for boxing when Canelo was trying to create his own weight class in order to duck all the dangerous champs in both 154 and 160 division.

The list goes on and on.

I already explained my position In my last post and you were still to ******ed to comprehend. Are you really that ****** that you didn't see the two Hopkins headlines on the front page? So how are they "random"

Read ****** Read.

The agenda was to show how ****** a few members on this board are when It comes to agreeing with a fighter or promoter when It fits their agenda and than calling that very same person names and assassinating their character when they disagree.

I think the point he is trying to make is that the 'early' stoppage of the Kovalev v Ward fight was allegedly bad for boxing, but Hopkins disagreed and said it wasn't bad for boxing and that it was legit.

But now he is saying the Mayweather vs McGregor fight is bad for boxing and yet he vouched for the Ward vs Kovalev decision (which is allegedly also bad for boxing).

So the correlation here would be: "Bad for boxing" in both scenarios, in which Bhop took different stances on the matter (said the other was not bad for boxing but then said the other scenario is bad for boxing where's 'allegedly' both are bad for boxing).

I think that is where he is coming from, but of course he didn't articulate himself well at all, which usually happens when someone has an agenda of some kind and doesn't really care about the topic itself.

For the record I don't think Mayweather vs McGregor is bad for boxing. If anything it will bring a whole new crowd into the boxing scene. Boxing is already on the map but this fight will bring it closer to the centre or spread it out more across the map.

Maybe this is Mayweather's way of making up for May-Pac lack of action, especially if he Gatti's McGregor. Casuals will totally eat that shieet up. It also helps that Mayweather is not on the p4p list, doesn't hold any titles, and is 40 years old coming from retirement. If a guy like that can do what we assume he will do to McGregor, then boxing casuals and mma casuals, and casuals in general will come running to boxing.

Mayweather's situation (no belts, no p4p list, age, 2 year retirement) also means that no one actually has a 'legitimate' right/reason to criticize him for taking this fight, only explanation is hate.

Regarding the Ward - Kovalev fight. I think any objective person knows that Ward was well on his way to stopping or UD decisioning Kovalev.

However, any sane person should also agree the fight was stopped early given the magnitude and significance of the fight, and any sane person should also agree that Weeks is a terrible referee. His decision making is subpar to say the least. He should not go anywhere near a big fight like this, I don't even know how he got to that level in the first place.

Yet the Khan fight was a legit fight ha bernard ? GTFO , its 100% clear to anyone with functional brain cells that he says what he says because of his golden goose fighting 3 weeks later , business is all that matters to the promoters he can keep is integrity BS for the next time his guy fighting a glass chinned WW.

[JTfloyd]

This coming from the dude who had no issues rematching Roy on PPV after he had JUST been knocked out the previous fight. Bernard is just bitter that he's past the point of being able to actually fool the boxing public into buying something with his name attached to it.

[maracho]

Well I know that Oscar is very upset with Dana White and Mayweather promotions for making the fight so close in time to and thus drawing any bit of attention from GGG/Canelo.

I hate to say but they are all saying weird stuff because of Money, money money-- and I hope it doesnt end making them somewhat lackluster in the ring
