Paul Malignaggi "Boxing is a joke of a sport"

Say all the bad things you want about Paulie...but he makes good points. No surprise many are too "simple" to even see it right before them.

 

Go to hype fight.com and read what he has to say.

Its clear the judges selected for the fight arent the most unbiased judges they could have gotten. He references several fights to prove it.

 

I take these statements from Malignaggi as possible excuses as to why he will lose to Juan Diaz.

 

.

As long as there is 2 man fighting inside the ring it will never be a joke. Politics and greed is always there since the sport of boxing started.

 

BUT...everyone know boxing is crooked. You dont have to be behind the scenes to know that. It has been for ever and it will still be in the future. Dont box if you dont like it. You werent complaining when you were winning, so why the complaints now? He's making excuses for a loss thats he knows is coming his way before it happens.

 

Well I would be pissed off too...he did give-up a lot to make the fight happen.....he agreed to the catchweight, venue, and the purse split.....and then he gets 3 judges that arent really that great....

and the one judge camp malignaggi had no problem with gets replaced at the last minute, by some guy from oklahoma nobody has ever heard of.....if i was paulie i would be livid too.....and paulie by most accounts is a pretty calm, candid guy....I was shocked by how pissed he sounded in the interview...

 

At his very best Malignaggi is very good boxer.

 

he speaks the truth, its up to us to accept or reject it

funny

this is coming from a guy who got a haircut in the middle of a fight

 

LMAO@ people saying corruption is what's ruining boxing now, it was a sport that was practically ran by the mob back in the "Glory days". Paulie just likes to ***** about anything, guy made a 1 million dollar purse against Hatton, where else was he going to make that kind of money being such a small athlete? The MMA champion at 135 pounds Miguel Torres made 26k for his last fight, the champion at 140 pounds Mike Brown made 25k for his last fight. Boxing might not be perfect but bitching about the sport that has made him a very nice living on limited skills and limited draw is stupid for dear old Paulie.

 

Damn right, he'll prove it this weekend aswell. Mark my words

 

It's turned into this? It's always been corrupt

 

I agree that some parts of boxing is corrupt, The Danny Williams fight for instance and the Holyfield - Valuev, but to call the sport of boxing a joke!!!!!

Hope Paulie gets KTFO and fast

 

I hate to say this, but Malignaggi is probably right.

99% of boxers are exploited by managers, promoters, trainers and other people connected with them, and yet 100% of the boxers are the most important component of the sport itself.
