    It took the two of them together to bring that little girl into the world. Caleb seems to have left Carman alone to deal with everything. I feel heart sorry for Carman as Caleb acted so callous & uncaring & I hope she can rebuild her life after the heartbreak. I think she'll be better off without him

    That's fine, and could have been how he started out, but cutting all mention of the mother out of the story when she was the primary care giver. Using her quotes, thoughts & feelings and passing them off as his own, guilt tripping her for informing him of the bad news before his fight blaiming her for his loss after she just went through 23 hours of labor to find out that terrible news. Going suit shopping with a friend while leaving the mother all alone at the funeral home to deal with their child's death. But mainly just making it all about him while completely cutting all mention of her out of all media coverage when she was actually the one that quit her 2 jobs to give 24/7 care is beyond scummy. He plagiarized her thoughts about her grief in missing her child from her Facebook posts for crying out loud, and this women let all of it go because all she cared about was being with their daughter and caring for her while she was still alive.

    A couple of exerts from the article to show what I'm talking about, this guy is coldblooded as hell.

    Golden gloves novice in what state?
    It must suck to care so much about a sport yet know nothing about it.
    Mike Lee is a nobody with zero talent that had noted dame money behind him.
    The guy is a bum. Yes, amateurs could beat him.

    How do we know she's telling the truth and not a angry scorned ex girlfriend. Why is she more credible than him? I'm not saying she's lying but it's certainly a possibility. Maybe she's mentally unstable and...maybe she's telling the complete truth. If you don't know what happened personally, it's pretty unfair to judge someone based on a article from one sides perspective.

    I grew up in a bad neighborhood...this wouldn't be the first time someone threw shade because they got "left behind".

    Put yourself in her shoes. Even if she's exaggerated or lied about some things, what we know for sure is this woman lost her daughter and Caleb right before he hit it big. Now he's got world title fights, a hot new fiancee, and is loaded financially (Jordan Hardy comes from money, too, along with his purses). That's got to be extraordinarily painful for her.

    We'll never know what's entirely true or not. Neither side of the story would surprise me, as Plant is also extremely focused on boxing to the point of obsession.

    Its not the 1930s no one can enforce a fix, boxing is mental first...boxers who need $ take fights they can't win...

    In 2028 Mayweather just turned 50 a bit down on his luck (Pacman is now the President of Philippines & has a lot of work to do...so no more rematches)...Bob Arum comes to help his boy re-invent himself as a KO artist got him to win his 3 comeback fights by KO (

    )....Mayweather fails the medical tests & has long-list of legal problems, so Arum don't see anything left in his aging boxer....he hands Floyd a $500 Million fight (Floyd ends up with $9 Million after all the deductions)

    Mayweather has to take Bob Arum hottest prospect 2028 Light Heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist (

    No one forces a boxer to take a match they know they will lose (injured, under-trained, over-matched, not ready...etc)
