Just think, if Mayweather was subjected to the same conduct policies as the NFL, he would have been out of the fight game years ago...

 

Hasn't he beaten up more women than had fights in the last few years?

Pulling for Mayweather.

Anyone else rooting for the woman beater?

I think he's been convicted of assaulting a female more times than he's knocked out an opponent.

[CamMoon]

I hope Mayweather gets knocked out honestly. Can't stand the guy.

Man, I kept wondering where we were going to have a thread for this at? lol...  Then i found there already was one.

 

People can say what they want...  Honestly, boxing might be my 3rd favorite sport behind football and basketball.  I don't know all of the rankings and such, nor do I expect anyone except commentators who are paid to cover it, know it.  That's one of the problems with boxing, the utter confusion and disorganization of it all.

 

That being said, it is a beautiful and yet, violent sport.  I love it.  I watch as much as I can, anywhere I can.  ESPN2's FNF, HBO, Showtime, Foxsports' Goldenboy promotions, etc.  If I wasn't already 30, I would want to find a ring somewhere and get into it myself, lol.

 

Anyway, there are so many good fighters out there, the problem is the promotion of the sport and all he hands in the cookie jar, so to speak...  So many of them aren't known like they should be, like say, if it was the 80s, these guys would be superstars.  That's why I'm happy they started those Premier Boxing Nights on NBC, CBS, and other network channels with legit boxers in primetime.  The sport needs exposure like it used to get, and it would easily surpass MMA again.

 

All that being said, I have no idea who I want to win...  I like each guy for different reasons...  I like Floyd for his brashness, cockiness, being an asshole, and his unorthodox defensive-fighting style.  I like Manny for his humility, his faith, his heart, and his workrate in he ring...  He loves to put pressure on guys and just keeps coming.  So, it's a tough call...  I think it's one of those things where I won't really know until they get in the ring.  Part of me is hoping for Money to break that longest-undefeated streak, but then another part of me is hoping he gets beat and doesn't reach it and it makes him hungrier.  He's good for the sport...  As you can see from all of this surrounding hype.

 

I'll be watching at my cousin's house, as he is a diehard Money fan and has bought all of his PPVs for as long as I can remember. 

[Proudiddy]

Also, was wondering if anyone watched the Jennings/Klitschko fight?  Jennings is amazing!  Only 6 years fighting and he won rounds against Klitschko...  I was hoping for a rematch, as I think Wilder already ruined his chances against him after agreeing to spar with him.  Also hyped for the upcoming Golovkin fight...  That dude is a beast, that we haven't seen the likes of since tyson in his prime, he is also hilarious -

 

"What did you see in there from your opponent Triple G?"

 

"Uhh, he was a good boy, but I like to bring major drama show.  I fight like Mexican.  But, he's a good boy."

 

"Thank you, Triple G."
