Pacquiao vs. Mayweather on the verge of being announced

Cool.

 

Good post. I don't see why people overlook that whole fiasco..

 

Unsportsmanlike as I said but not cheating.

I agree.

I agree, but the contract was re done.

 

the contract was redone because like what others stated before, why would jmm turn down his biggest payday. Besides, if JMM had other intentions besides getting his biggest payday and probably a third fight against pac, Im pretty sure jmm would turn down that fight and no contracts will ever be redone.

 

It's technically not cheating because he paid to change the rules. But in my eyes he did (personal opinion). The "rule" was 144 pounds, he gained an unfair advantage by ignoring this rule. (I'm not saying those 2 pounds changed anything because Floyd wins either way but the fact that Floyd didn't want to cut them tells you something).

Could you imagine any other sport where people can pay to change the rules? Floyd knew JMM wasn't going to turn down his biggest payday and could get away with it.

And it's a joke that this is what it has come to.

 

The problem is that no one can predict the future.

I doubt any boxer ever agrees to a weight they "know" they cant or wont make.

 

Exactly.


Everyone wants the quick fix. Everyone wants the "superfight" that will save boxing, as if it really needs saving. The best thing for boxing is to make more really good fights rather than putting all the hopes of the entire sport into a fight that could very well end up a real dud.

 

Boxing is doing just fine. We don't need the casual fans. If the fights need to be juiced with fake results, knockout bonuses, and added violence just for the sake of violence, its not worth it anymore. If they stack the under card deep with the best fighters available in real competitive matches the rest will work out.

 

Maybe "some". I seriously doubt Pacroid would risk tainting his name on purpose to sell a fight that is already going to be huge. Of course at this point(at this age) I think its a serious possibility that Arum is out of his mind. He is increasingly unpredictable and in my opinion, rapidly losing his edge.

 

Doesn't all of this apply to Pac as well, for initially agreeing to OSDT, only to change his mind later?

 

Technically no. PBF requested more testing, but didn't specify until later the extent. If you really wanted to you could blame him for agreeing to something without really knowing what he was agreeing to.

Btw, what's your banned main account name anyways?

 

ya pac wont win a chess match...if this fight is at a "chess match" mayweather tempo than floyd should get the late knockout..pac might go the distance but floyd should win more rounds as he is by far the boxer with the more superior footwork and he'll be able to win the ring generalship....

 

Well, no news for now = good news..

 

I agree but highly doubt there will be any knockout by Floyd, Pac has a good chin.
