    We have two boxing gyms here, and I think three MMA style gyms. One of the gyms here will allow you to come in once for free to check it out, other wise it's a monthly membership. I had never been so tired in all my life! Went once for free, never went back. :oops:

    Would be wise to come in the summer. If you are any type of an outdoors man, or just like to camp or fish, it's heaven. :thumbsup

    I think there should be a good system for defining levels and types of followers.

    Fans- normal. Not a derogatory term for someone who follows a fighter and does so without being overly fanatical.

    Fanboy- Slightly more biased but more often than not tend to let their bias and colors(not racially speaking) show.

    Fanatical Fanboys AKA: *******s, *****s, Calzaggots,(insert name) Huggers- Can't be reasoned with, incessantly troll people with completely indefensible and blind opinions on one fighter or hatred of another. Absolutely should not be used as a grouping for all fans of that fighter as that's unfair to the ones that are level headed and can name fighters outside of their favorite.

    I think most of the people on here float somewhere between fan and fanboy but Fanatics make the most threads on a per day basis.

    Either way. He has a legit claim that Floyd Fanboys can't accept certain truths about Floyd just as Pac Fanboys won't shut the **** up about how bad some of the things Floyd does are. Like that vacation ****. Getting annoying guys. Srsly.

    Jesus ...please just STFU. All my posts are to defame him? How did I defame him in this thread? What you just don't seem to understand, arguing with Floyd fanatics does NOT mean I am discrediting him. And most of my negative comments have been towards Floyd FANBOYS.

    Honestly, if you can read, that should be known by now.

    :lol: Grow up...that's just stupid to suggest. I never claimed to be the fair and honorable police. Besides, why don't YOU do it....:roll:

    All that and I dont believe he's happy. I recall after his fight with Hatton Floyd stating that he would give anything to have the type of fans that Hatton has. He cant go anywhere without getting boo'd. He has tons of legal trouble and stays in debt with the IRS. This isnt me bashing him. This is the truth.

    There's a contradiction if you say people only pay because they want to see him lose. Those same people who hate enough to pay for his fights with bad intentions are also the chumps claiming all he does is cherry pick. If everyone wanted to see him lose, why would they pay for fights against "cherry picked" opponents, guys who literally have no chance of beating him?

    He's not portraying (marketing) himself as a villain, he is one! A petty one. And he has the lawsuits to show for it. Yes you're right! Nobody cared to see him get beat when he was with Arum... because he fought the fights fans wanted to see. Now everyone knows him.... because of the petty crimes he is committing. The Lindsay Lohan of boxing. Lohan is **** in Hollywood, with no blockbuster films and no awards to lay claim on. But she is always IN THE NEWS! It's when he broke with Arum that's when all the controversy started. He starts to cherrypick, making outrageous demands, vacations etc. He knows if he stayed with Arum he would be matched with prime fighters in Margarito, Cotto and who ever there was fans WANTED HIM TO FIGHT! He is no celebrity, he tried Dancing with the Stars and lost against has been celebrities. He has no product endorsements, he is what he is, a NEVER WAS celebrity. He should just stay in boxing and fight the fights DIEHARD boxing fans want to see. He has no chance at going mainstream.

    Answer me this, why would Floyd try to negotiate a purse for 2 future fights when he already had one in front of him? Since when has he done that before? :huh

    You really think Arum shoulds guarantee Floyd 10 mill when there's a chance he may lose that very next fight?

    He's doing that with Pac now. He is setting up Pac's next fight (for a whole lot more than 10 million) when there is a chance (small though it may be) that he might lose to Mosley.

    He is also setting up a 4th fight with JMM should Pac lose or Draw with JMM in November.

    Also, Arum did not think Floyd was or would be a big enough star to command a 10 million dollar purse. This is why he thought no one would buy DLH-PBF, and said himself "he wanted no part of it".

    Floyd leaves him and then becomes a boxing superstar, commanding in excess of 22.5 million in his last fight.

    Arum made a mistake with Floyd, and he knows it.

    How the **** is he doing that now when Pac vs. JMM III is nothing more THAN A RUMOR. It's not even close to being set in stone. JMM is still a GBP fighter until further notice.

    I tire of posters using rumors as facts..

    And you think if Floyd kept winning, Arum would not change his mind? And that's not even it. You can't tell me what Arum thinks, only what YOU THINK. Got that? It's very possible Arum would reconsider depending on Floyd's progress.

    Yeah, guarntee tem mill per fight for 3 fights when Floyd wasn't even a proven draw at the time. You ****in guys..:patsch

    I highly doubt Arum gives a ****. He seems to be doing just fine. Much better off then Floyd is right now. :D
