    1. Congratulations you just won - Every time you click on a new page you hear the loud voice telling you "Congratulations you just won"
    Well **** you and nobody wins.

    2. You can Register as Floyd Mayweather's manager. Small fee like .10 cents but you can if you want. Click on manager and there is nobody so it asks you if you are his manager.

    3. Floyd #1 P4P - see how long that lasts. They had Hopkins for like a year too long and I am a big Hopkins fans. But go take a look and click on Floyd and look at his opponents carefully and you will be shocked when you see the opposition and the reputation gained for it.

    I ONLY go on boxrec to check fighters age, and opponents fought.
    In terms of future fights and p4p lists its all ****, but theres a simple solution, dont take it seriously

    It lost its credibility with the "you just won"
    How many times has that scared the **** out of you ?
    I wanted to see boxing records not visit an online haunted house.

    I use firefox with an adblocker so I don't see those stupid 'click here for 1 million dollars' ads.
    But boxrec is cool to see what someones record is, who they fought and when. The rankings are a joke, like the already mentioned Hopkins as the #1 LHW an P4P #4.

    It's computerized. And like any system that doesn't take into account "intangible" factors, its results are frequently distorted because of this.

    read an interview with the founder where he said he was planning on putting up a paywall but stopped after a journeyman thanked him because he was able to check his opponents record and see it was 10-0 not 0-0 like his a manager said.so the founder decided to keep it free and use ads to pay for it

    I've been using boxrec for like 5 years now, long enough to learn to mute my speakers before even thinking of going there.
