Exactly you don't get it. That is exactly why you don't get what FMJ is doing.

Again, you don't get it. Your stupid statments about FMJ would be like me drawing conclusions about Australians from a couple I see in a bar. You see FMJ probably .01% of his life. You don't know the man so why start personal threads.

Yes it is to validate you BS world view. You post BS threads like these because of what you are. You speak in codes because of what you are. When you get called on making personal subtle attacks you feel "attacked".

When I see it? I see a guy from a place where there was not much opportunity. He dropped out of school to completely dedicate himself to the sport of boxing because he had a gift. He is also suffering from some of the effects of being punched repeatedly for 15 years and is beginning to stutter and search for words. Even with those shortcomings he tries his best to get on television with people with full on degrees in media that have never suffered the brain trauma that he has and never will. That is what I see.

Now I can take it for what it is or I can be a cheeky drongo like you and make a bunch of judgements not taking into consideration the facts of the situation.

Yes, first runner up indeed.

He is doin this **** to get in mosleys head. I mean not only does he have a fight to sell but he also has a fight to win. He tries to psychologically defeat his opponents before physically beating them. Shid, this is what we do in my neck of tho woods. If you get in a mu****as head just right, you are gonna throw him off of his game. I guarantee it.

Maybe some of these people never interacted in actual sports. Gaining the mental advantage is always key. No matter how good a person is, if you can gain the mental advantage you increase your chances of winning greatly because then they play into your strengths instead of exposing your weaknesses. While trash talk does sometime go over the limit, it's a very successful art of war.

"Pac needs to be his own boss like me"
"I'm fight under GBP"

or

"I have the final say in my fights!"
"You'll have to speak with Ellerbe/Haymon on my next opponent"

Floyd's a walking contradiction, too dumb to even know it.

1st 'contradiction' - He's a fighter under GBP but makes upward to 85% of the profit. Where as Pacquiao only makes maybe 60%.

2nd 'contradiction' - You honestly believe Floyd doesn't have the final say in who he fights?

In all honesty guys, you watch Floyd after that bell sounds. He's extremely respectful, and that leads me to believe he is doing it for promotional purposes as well as trying to gain a mental advantage. I have a hard time believing someone who's that big of an ******* could be that respectful and humble after the fight. Don't buy to much into it.

Bingo, exactly. But some people are to blinded by their hate they can't understand simple marketing, and separate the fight hype from the facts.

you only know what you watch on t.v so how can you really judge this man when he is obviously apart of the ENTERTAINMENT buisiness?
