    Well go tell Manny to agree to full random testing and tell Arum to stop ****ing around. One statement proves that Arum is the main problem and that statement is " I would love for Floyd to sign with Don King. Don and I can have this fight made in one weekend." Bob Arum. Now Arum can make the fight with King in one weekend but he can't make it with GoldenBoy.

    Exactly.

    If you want to talk about integrity, a woman beating, racist, homophobic, obnoxious wannabe gangster isn't the best example to chose from. In the past year, his life has deteriorated dramatically.

    What are you on about? That post has nothing to do with what I'm saying.

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoy boxing, boxing first and foremost. However, I am happy some of the fighters embracing the sport I love have integrity and the intellect to make it their very own way. These guys are admirable, and they're doing it the way everyone should.

    I am sure Floyd has brought more people to watch boxing and even start up boxing, than any other boxer active in the sport today. One thing most top level athletes have in common regarding floyd is they all admire him, from Bradley, to Devon Alexander, to Andre Ward.. and the list goes on and on.

    I hope some of these guys will take a page out of his book and keep their profit. Too many of the past generations fighters end up dead broke after having sold their morals for a few bucks.

    Part of the reason - YES
    Only reason - NO

    He's just making it harder to make and taking advantage of the situation.

    I can put my right hand on the fight having been made in 2009 had Pacquiao not been under the Top Rank banner. :good

    It's not a contradiction. If I supported fighters not fighting because of small percentages, then, yeah, you could post that little smilie. I don't though.

    Of course I want guys like Katsidis to be rich because he deserves it. That's the same reason I spent a load of money going to Finland to watch Froch fight, because I feel they deserve the money. As I said though, I wouldn't support him not fighting because he personally wasn't making as much as he should. It's understandable but I wouldn't be "happy" as the thread starter put it.

    I agree that they should look after their own bank balances, sure. I just don't think, as fans, it helps to actually support these guys not fighting when small percentages and personal grudges get in the way.
