    Nah. Shane didn't get a purse doubling bonus after a horrible performance. Shane also...

    -- Didn't have his primary sparring partner bought by the opposition
    -- Didn't have his trainer unable to get a visa and the promoter didn't help
    -- Looked totally strange

    I don't know what boxing is coming to, but I know where Arum is trying to take it. :blood

    The only Ghanaian athlete who had a diarrhea on the big stage was Asamoah Gyan.

    Tell me this......if Josh threw the fight why are you bringing up the sparring and trainer issues? It doesn't take much to "throw" a fight.:lol: The bonus was probably due to the fact that if Josh lasted 12 rounds with Manny he'd get his perk.....and Josh found a way to survive.

    Shane had a terrible performance but he's a part owner in Golden boy so his purse was what they agreed to but he also go perks and bonuses as a partner who promotes Floyd. I don't trust Bob myself....but Schafer, King and the rest of them aren't any better.

    Because it is all connected. More than one way to ensure that a guy ain't 100% in that ring. We will never know though so it is not really an issue. You know me man I am just throwing some Pac-salt.

    Pac got the win. Clottey got 1.5 million and a bonus of the same. Everybody won. Just like JMM won when he got that $600K bonus for Mayweather being over the weight limit.

    They didn't get the pride, but pride don't buy a sandwich.

    That's real talk.....I get that. Boxing nowadays is more business centric than anything else which is good and bad. I only complain when the business side prevents fights from happening but at the end of the day I'm not the one putting my life on the line in the ring either. But I pay a grip for PPVs....I think I can have my own opinion.:lol:

    Nah man. Pac is 1 dimensional. He just throws a lot of punches.

    That is why he won't drug test.

    Ducked Clottey? Do you even know what day it is? Take your medicine. :roll:
