    :patsch

    Harold "Gives the round to the aggressor, ineffective or not" Lederman.

    Are you telling me you agree with the 119-109 score for Pacquiao-Bradley, or 116-112 for Pac-JMM 3??? Plus many other bull**** cards he has had??

    He was highly involved in creating the show. Don't know who owns the rights to it though. We should know shortly. I have a feeling Floyd/Haymon/GB does.

    Never no consistency in the scores whether he likes clean effective boxing like he boasts, or does he rather likes people standing in the middle of the ring like caveman bashing their brains in. It became clear over time that he's simply a dickrider, mainly of TR fighters, he just masked it superbly

    Anyway as someone else pointed out earlier it is UP TO 6 fights for the next 30 months. So im guessing 3 or 4 at the most.

    When Pac does something weird, he's ducking Mayweather.

    When Mayweather does something weird, he's the man.

    Got it? :!:

    Good to finally have the fight announced i think a better question though is with Guerrero/Canelo pretty much set for this year what fights could you see mayweather taking IF he fight six more times???

    He is stationary at one angle so sometimes it may seems that he always gives the round to the aggressor, but it could be that he doesn't see all the punches connected, so in a close round where one may have connected more but the other throws more he may be forced to go with the more aggressive fighter because from his point of view the fighter that connected more often may have been missing although we can see it clearly with replays and copious angles.

    HBO has been slipping for a while now. Realistically, they have had 2 good non-PPV fights in the past year plus: Rios-Alvarado and Guerrero-Berto.

    Kissing up to Haymon and putting his stable of fighters in easy matches has proven to be a poor decision. The quality of their fights has been slipping and it didn't even help them keep Floyd.


    They need to try and make the best fights they can and not put up with easy matchups for guys they "think" will be stars. Hershman did that at Showtime. Why can't he do that at HBO? Good matchups create buzz for the winners and sometimes even the losers. Let a fighter show us he is good. Don't just tell me he is.

    Hopefully this is a wakeup call to HBO.
