    :lol: ma bad good catch, feb was another vacation, i meant to type april, april is when i took the trip to philly, got my cheese steaks and picture with the rocky statue to prove it....but the game was on a fri against the fish and shane even had a nice lil web gem but they still lost 4-3 on a cold somewhat wet night, and no, not making things up, just a quick mess up in typing the months


    i'm saying its both, that because he fights once a year along with his opponent having a good fanbase, along with having it on a special weekend as icing

    i said hatton has a big fan base, never did i say it was in america


    yes boxing is a brutal sport, but lil floyd seems to b able to not put himself into too much trouble........why? um, how bout...for the money?....he does call himself money may right?

    40M times 3....i'd say that's a lot right there

    But surely you have to realize that just because you got a ticket doesn't mean the game wasn't sold out. Currently, The Phillies have a home sellout streak of over 180 games.

    http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/blog/john-george/2011/07/phillies-sellout-streak-recipe.html

    It's over 600 for the Red Sox.



    If Hatton's fanbase isn't in America, then what was driving all of those people in America to buy that fight?



    As you get more money, it takes more money to motivate you. For example, let's say you make $25,000 a year, and work 35 hrs per week with that job. Now let's say you get an opportunity to work a second job for $15,000 and it pushes your work week from 35 hrs per week to 50 hrs a week. Most people would jump all over that. Now let's say you make $600k per year and work 65 hrs a week. Now let's say you're offered another side gig for an extra $100K, but it pushes your work week to 80hrs a week. A person would be more hesitant to take on that extra work, even for that large sum of money.

    Mayweather has a family, and a grueling training schedule. Promoting a big fight is pretty exhausting as well. With all that being said, if he's pulling in around $40M a fight, it's going to take more than just money to motivate him to fight again. He already has a ton of money, and an extra $40M isn't going to change his life.

    So what's your point, that no one is interested in seeing Shane?

    off topic, but what'd u think about the flyin hawaiian tryin to walk up to ramirez

    i think whiteside should've stepped aside

    victorino tries to bark but i really wanted to see what he'd do to ramirez if no one was in front of him

    ramirez look like he would've put hands on shane

    usually if a batter acts like he's goin to go after a pitcher the pitcher stays on the mound and waits, but ramirez actually walked towards him lookin ready to knock his ass out :lol:
