    Yea Super Six messed up with letting the promoters handle the judges.
    Showtime should have demanded the best and most impartial judges. That is the one thing that should be fixed for the next tournament like this. Other than that I agree its awesome for boxing.

    *****s will always defend Mayweather.

    If he marries Ellerbe if some states allow same sex marriage, the *****s will find a way to make you guilty for not accepting same-sex marriage.

    Here's Don King:

    2. Beat a man to death in Cleveland in 1966, and served 3 1/2 years in prison
    3. Promoted a heavyweight tournament in 1977 where fighters' records were falsified
    4. 1984: Acquitted of tax fraud and conspiracy
    5. 1990: Tried to overturn Mike Tyson's upset loss to James "Buster" Douglas in Tokyo
    6. Investigated in 1992 by the U.S. Senate regarding affiliations with mobster John Gotti
    7. Former heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon won a $900,000 judgment against King
    8. Sued by Muhammad Ali for $1.2 million in connection with the Larry Holmes fight; unfortunately Ali would settle for a paltry $50,000
    9. Mike Tyson's $100 million lawsuit against Don King, claiming theft of purse. It was settled out of court for $14 million
    10. 1998: Acquitted of insurance fraud
    11. 2000: An unindicted co-conspirator on 33 counts of bribery, conspiracy, racketeering, fraud and other charges in a federal investigation that uncovered payoffs for ranking fighters

    That's how it is. Most hometown fighters end up getting 'home cooked meals' when it comes down to a decision.
