    As we all know, up until a few nights ago, Malik Scott was considered a shoe in for the academy award for "Best Bum in a Dive". However, a smaller budget show starring Mickey Rourke and Elliot Seymour.

    Mr. Seymour put on quite a performance... It may rival Scott's performance against Deontay Wilder. It was quite a dive. I think we may need to have a serious discussion at the boxing actors awards and decide which of these two men had the better dive.

    Scott was in a legit fight and was supposed to be a real contender. Rourkes fight was an exhibition

    Seymour was a 1-9 cabbie, who probably made 10X more in that single fight, than he had in his previous 10 combined.

    So at trashman's rate of $350/fight take home. X 10 pro fights = $3500 in his trash collecting career. If he didnt make 35K in that fight, I'll eat my hat. :yep:yep:yep

    The general public lapping up this BS. "Wasn't Rourke's opponent some sort of amateur champion?"

    As if this guy was an 'opponent'.

    Scott still deserves his award given the circumstances, importance of the match and all

    One match was just an exhibition from a 62yo actor that nobody was taking seriously

    the other fight was supposedly the first ¨step-up¨ match from Murica's last prospect for the HW title, remember, a lot of money has been invested in Windmiller and many gullible casuals even believe the hype is real

    very different situations

    Exhibition or not, it was Scott who took the more obvious dive.

    Both were obvious dives.... But Scott was far worse as it was a meaningful fight(Title eliminator) and Rourke's fight was a sideshow attraction to begin with....

    Scott was a bit more subtle in his ways, I found his acting more believable. I think he's the winner for this academy award.
