    The only thing spoon fed to anyone is what the media and co put out. The rest you must research and think for yourself. What "kids" think it's cool? It's some of the most depressing and horrifying **** ever.

    Obama, yes. McCain, no. McCain is rogue and ultimately uncontrollable. He's more the real thing, although there are certain aspects and elements where he is under power, of course.

    On an unrelated note, dude have you seen some Obama "fans"? Some people literally think he's GOD.. it's so sad.

    Anyway it doesn't matter. McCain and Obama are bought and paid for by the same people.

    btw all this "change" BS Obama is spewing is exactly what Clinton said and how he got elected after Bush. It worries and saddens me that some people actually are stupid enough to buy into the bull****.

    I used to like McCain, I rooted for him against Bush way back when in the primaries. Unfortunately, McCain hasn't been "The Maverick" since those very same primaries. He toes the line just like every other republican candidate.

    If you were talking about Obama and Clinton and this was still primary season you're comment would make sense, there was very little real difference between the two compaigns. McCain and Obama however couldn't be more different.

    You are DEAD ASS WRONG and heres why.

    1. Senator McCain, regardless of his erectile dysfunction, and incontinence problems, recognizes PPV for what it is. PPV is simply a way to make fans pay for fights, because Boxing isnt mainstream like MLB, the NFL or the NBA. Can anyone here IMAGINE the massive outcry that happens when the Networks decide to turn greedy like the Promoters? SUPERBOWL XXXII....79.95, call your local Cable Operators? Or the NBA Finals, or the World Series? They (The Fans) would be ****ing outraged.

    2. Nobody has to take the Sanctioning Bodies Seriously. If fighters want to pay a sanctioning fee, so they can wear a shiny belt, thats up to them. Look what Hoke did when he beat Tarver for the Lt. Hvy Title. He took the FREE RING belt, and didnt pay the sanctioning fee for Tarver's IBO title. Therefore Tarver kept the Title. Hopkins took the World Championship.

    Lets pretend I hire Mabel from the WWF to be a boxer. I teach him how to jab, and hook off the jab, how to dodge and slip and bob and weave, and how to throw a straight right, and how to counter off the ropes. Now, we want to fight Wlad, so we need to fight our way up the ranks to top 10 of the IBF HW Division. We start off by winning a North American Version of the IBF Title, and then fight 2 top 10 guys and KO them in the first round, impressive enough to catch HBO's eye, and they put us against the number 2 guy on an undercard of the Wlad Fight. We beat his ass too, and call out Wlad during the post fight press conference. He accepts and the IBF Approves after we cut them a 25,000.00 check. The fight is set, and Mabel KO's Wlad in the 1st.

    Now he has the IBF, WBO and IBO belts. He tells the IBF that he is done with sanctioning fees, and wants to fight Valuev next, to unify the belts. The IBF states that Jameel McCline is mandatory or we are stripped, so I have Mabel, on an HBO telecast, dump the IBF title in the trashcan. And along with it the WBO as well. But the IBO, states that Nicolai is considered a normal Title Defense. Now we beat Valuev, and refuse to bow to the WBA's demands to face Chagaev. We dump that belt as well on International PPV. Then we demand the WBC Champ, Fat Sam (IBO approves), and kick his ass in the 1st as well, and tell Jose Suliaman, during the interview with Larry, that we fight who we please, or the green belt goes into the trash as well, and he starts babbling about WBC by-laws, and his belt gets dumped in the trash with the cameras running, and spit on as well.

    Now we have the IBO by the balls. We tell them, if you want Mabel to wear your title, (As we already have the RING belt) during our fights,and Ringwalks (By now the EARTH trembles when Mabel speaks, and he has his own video games, dolls, ect) YOU pay US a sanctioning fee, and you had better smile, when we tell you who we want to fight next.

    The IBO knows that nobody cares about who won the newly vacated other belts, that Mabel is THEE MAN, so they agree. NOW the IBO is recognized as having the man wearing their belt.

    Yeah, but sometimes a fighter uses mandatories and sanctioning fees as a way to avoid dangerous opposition.

    When there's an election between Bozo and Cookie, the winner is still going to be a ****ing clown.

    Neither guy is going to "fix" anything for the little guy. Neither of them has the balls or the power to put the Fed in line, and as long as they're doing their ****** ****, we're doomed to having our dollars worth less and less due to the inflation we're still experiencing from $500 billion dollars of easy money created by the fed for the Savings and Loan crisis (which the government caused anyways), let alone the hundreds of billions of dollars of new payouts to save struggling brokers and insurance companies now. That's not money taken from the actual tax pool, that's "money" created out of thin air that does nothing but dilute the dollar's value.

    Get ready to have your dollar go less and less far than ever regardless of which one gets elected.

    Actually McCain has the potential to make a change. He does not need washington or its approval after one term. Which is all he plans to stay in office. He is at the stage of his career where he could actually make a difference and say **** washington. Unlike Obama who has another 25 years left in his career to answer for his mistakes and bad decisions. Let alone work. McCain has plenty of money and wont need washington after his presidency.


    You never appoint someone who's fame exceeds his accomplishments.

    You never put someone in office who's flamboyance overshadow his capabilities.


    Obama travels with a teleprompter to use at his own RALLYS ! After the first debate the polls will show Americas choice loud and clear.

    Larry Sinclair knows more about Barack then America ever will.

    You know McCain brings up a good point. The need for a 'union' in the sport, representing fighters. If De La Hoya had been truly trying to help boxing by giving footing and power back to the fighters like he claimed, he would have started this instead of GBP, which just competes and pushes further greed and cutthroat business policy in the sport.

    McCain would have war on PPV if he could.
