    That is what I did and as above it doesnt make sense. What does lifestlyes in the ring actually mean????

    Remember in Europe we listen to what you say , not how you say it . Big difference.

    If one wants to blame promoters, that's a start, but also only a part of it.

    Obviously the sanctioning bodies are a huge part as well, if not the driving force. They strip worthy champs who may want to unify, they allow "money" fighters to ignore mandatories for the sake of their purse cut, or move fighters comepletley unworthy into a title shot. And I know I do not need to get into the multiple titles per ABC. Just ridiculous.

    Certain boxers or type of boxers are to blame as well. There seems to be several somewhat high profile fighters who seem to have a higher sense of self worth in what they demand to be paid. Or thinking you can call out the biggest names w/o hacing really done much for your career to be a realistic option. Being undefeated doesn't mean much if the resume is highly suspect. And if you want to be paid 2-3 mill, if you cannot do it based on your own 'draw', then you shouldn't be asking as much. Only a few boxers can dictate their own purses justifuably. And boxers need to go back to being paid based on their market value.

    The networks. Namely HBO. They've been in bed w/ GBP far too long. Exclusive rights w/ a promoter has proven to not work or the best of the sport. Not to mention HBO has severly overpaid for MANY fights because of who the promoter is (ahem GBP) or because of influence (Haymon). HBO needs to stop acting like a promoter. And some promoters need to start acting more like promoters and LESS like mere managers.

    Judges need to have some form of 'audit' performed by other judges each year. Take a handful of the worst decisions, have the judges of the fight go round by round explaining WHYthey gave the round to the boxer. Have the 'auditors' score the fight as well for a comparison.

    :lol: Did he really say that? Well, that pretty much settles the whole 'expert' title. Karceno's a wannabe more then anything else...

    Over 700,000 wanted to see Pac vs. Clottey on TV while another 50K saw it in person. Do you even do homework for all that you spew out? :huh

    As for Pac vs. SSM, we shall see.
