    You gotta love that man, he is a family man, a philanthropist and carries with him a great story.

    Few years ago, Haiti was in tatters and he gave up his biggest payday/fight to help the unfortunate in his home town.

    Note: This fight is really bad!!!

    But I'm still paying. Berto deserves my money, and I want to watch Floyd tie that Marciano record, Floyd's last fight

    The money from the Mosley fight would have helped 10X more than what Berto was able to contribute by canceling the fight. It was a duck move by Berto back then.

    Thats not why he should get a major fight though.

    That being said, I dont dislike Berto. While he is far from the best pugilist to have ever graced the ring, I cant recall him ever being in a boring fight.

    Never in a boring fight, not deserving true and if you don't watch to watch it, don't pay for it.

    That's for everyone.

    Berto is a really really good guy

    :clap: Berto's a good guy, I like him and I'm rooting for him here, he also happens to be a Floridian, which helps...but I can't stand Winter Haven....very boring there.:tired

    Wasnt planning on it, unless I happen to be really really bored.

    But I actually dont care much at all, at this point its just funny to watch the battle lines being drawn on the intrawebs and the supporters/detractors heating up their ctrl+c/v macroes to create 100 page threads over it.

    Pretty much everyone thought Berto would get KO'd. He didn't want that to happen so he ducked Shane.

    I believe Floyd is the only one who gets anything from the PPV buys. Berto is likely guaranteed $2-3M whether it generates 1 buy or 1 million buys.

    Being a good person gets you fight with Mayweather? I assume floyds 50th fight will be Mother Teresa and 51 will be Ghandi.



    But seriously this fight is **** that was eaten then **** out again then done again 5 more times.

    Hopefully Berto brings it so it will atleast be entertaining.
