    Its called the "Scared Clause Contract" not the "Rehydration contract".

    Old as hell, I know all about honor and codes. All that's cool when you dealing with your partners and family. People that hold you close to thier heart. Ain't no love in this fight. You looking at a man across from you that wants to do damage to you. You don't get no trophy if you if you win. You get milliions and the chance to make many more millions. This is a career defining fight for both fighters. Garcia needs to try and get all the advantages he can and so does Tank. Stakes are too high not to.

    why do you think some men in tanks position have chosen not play it like that? do they live in the past too? perhaps theyre not as smart as tank, who talks like he never finished middle school.
    the reason i asked your age, is because i cant see a mature man thinking that money defines character. as if you would expect me to defend who trump is, just because he could buy tank and park him in his front lawn in a jockey outfit. and tank would do it too, according to your code, because its a dog eat dog world and tank would be making that cheddar. who cares about antiquated ideals like honor and dignity.

    The fight is at 135. Rehydration clauses don't bother me in the slightest.

    See it's easy to talk about honor and codes and all that good stuff when you ain't got no skin in the game or you ain't never dealt on that level. Let me put it this way. You and a man facing each other, it's either you are him and the stakes are life changing. What kind of breaks you gon give him? Now answer my question, how many multi million dollar moves have you made.

    You missing the point, if you had a man's life in the palm of your hands, then you were in control. That's not this situation. This is a me or you situation. Now when you have to answer that question, How many breaks you giving out? I don't do baller deals.

    so youve never seen a million dollar deal, but youre explaining to me how making them makes you do things a certain way. any particular reason why you would know about it more than i would? seeing as ive been to both war and prison, so i got a little experience in this modern dog eat dog world. maybe not as much as you, as youve yet to mention where your personal knowledge on the subjects weve been discussing comes from.

    First off, this is a forum and I don't discuss my personal life on a public forum. This ain't about me and you personally. We are discussing a boxing situation. I stated that Davis should give no breaks and let Ryan come in at whatever weight he comes in at. It makes sense to me and codes be dammed because they ain't friends or family. In fact, they are enemies. What enemy you gone give a break to when it's either you are him.

    they arent enemies, lol. believe me, ive actually dealt with real enemies, them boys will be hugging up on each other after the fight. this is sports entertainment. make believe. the most dangerous killer i ever met, was also the most honorable soldier as well. so maybe in your world honor dont count, but in my world, its damn near everything.

    You still missing the point. When that bell rings, they ain't friends. I am not talking about being honorable, or being a dangerous killer. I am talking about being smart. You don't give a man an advantage that could cost you millions. That's not being honorable, that's being stupid.

    i never said tank needed to give advantages. as a matter of fact, i said the catchweight was fair. what i find shady, is trying to prevent ryan from recuperating fully, by limiting his ability to fully hydrate before climbing into the ring. beat the guy inside the ring, not outside of it.
