    'a guy walks into a store and steals 100 bill straight out of the register without the store owners knowledge. the guy then buys 70 worth of goods using the 100 bill and the owner gives him 30 in change. how much money did the owner lose?'

    the answer according to oscar : 8 rounds to 4, canelo wins.

    Saying math instead of maths, is failing to grasp basic English.

    No way Oscar had it that close.

    It's an unfair question, when's the last time Oscar went into a store? It should be reframed swapping kitchen utensils for the dollars and Oscar's ass for the cash register.

    :lol:

    Wonder what happens if you give Wilder the same question... or... offer him $100M for 3 fights, 1 with Breazeale next for $20M and 2 with Joshua for $40M each... then fighting the same Breazeale next on another network for say $2.5M. How much did you lose?!

    A man goes into a clothes store with $10,000. He buys a peacock feather tuxedo for $15,000, a Chameleon skin crop top for $5000 and a lime green sarong made from emu claws and leopard scrotums reduced to only $40,000. How much do his managers take off his next pay cheque to cover these 'expenses'

    Isn't that a trick question? You could say $100, because that's what he stole from the register. Oscar's answer of $130 makes some sense because he stole $100 then got $30 in change as a result of a transaction that was not legitimate. If you try and buy something with funny money you shouldn't get any change should you.

    As far as what the store truly lost, you'd have to take the $100 minus the profit that the store made on the illegimate purchase + the cost of the goods, which are unknowns.

    It would be funny if Oscar had handed it off to his financial advisors who responded with a four page analysis, with estimates for heating, lighting, clerks salary, depreciation on the assets such as wear on carpeting, charges for the financing of the store, business rates, opportunity cost of genuine customers who may have been dissuaded from making a purchase.

    Well maybe funny is overstating it.

    Next video from AJ's Sheffield training camp is entitled 'AJ's wardrobe'.

    'Yeah so here you have my bin bag in case it rains. It's the same bin bag I've used for 8 years now, it's nothing fancy but yeah, like it works, if it's raining it keeps the rain off'

    Here's my tramps rags in case its cold. Yeah the tramp didn't want them any more cause theyre all smelly and stuff but they do a job yeah? If it's cold then it's time for tramps rags'

    AJ turns and looks thoughtfully out of the window...

    'Ya know, if it's cold and it's raining it could be that I need bin bag AND tramps rags. That's one of the situations that me and Rob Mckcracken have planned for'
