What's new

The Pacquiao Marquez Fight

yeah because commentary is far more important than real, tangible achievements...

CRUM, do you dislike boxing as a sport or just find it irrelevant as it is in the status quo?
Yeah it effects people who don't watch it frequently, and don't know what's going on. If you ask a casual who is the GOAT basketball player who do you think they will name?

Anyway, the WBO is just as fucking corrupt as the WBC. None of those organizations are even 60% credible.
 
I like the sport. I just don't like when fans of Boxing try to tell me I don't know crap about the sport or that it's better than MMA.
I never said it was better or worse than boxing. I called it trash, and said it's under one umbrella lol
 
Yeah Mayweather and De La Hoya carried the sport too. Boxing never has a consistent amount of boxers who are able to sell PPVs like Mayweather has. Guys like Pacquiao, Tyson Mayweather and De La Hoya come along every few years. These guys are the reason that boxing still has coverage these days. Who else is relevant? No one, Boxing would be no where without the big names.
So where exactly is the UFC/MMA whatever it's called? The only coverage I see of it is on YouTube to be honest.

It's not under one umbrella. Saying it's under one umbrella makes you sound ignorant, which you clearly are about MMA. So why even try to pose an argument about MMA to someone who has watched it for nearly 10 years? It's not trash, you're just so closed minded on Boxing that you will not let yourself succumb to a sport that is threatening your precious Boxing.

the UFC has been blowing up in the past couple years dude. they still have huge numbers with PPV and have expanded a lot to network tv like Fox (as they did tonight)

As I just posted, don't even try to pose an argument about MMA. You're clearly ignorant about the sport. I'm not going to even try to drop knowledge about the MMA world on you because quite frankly it's not worth my time. Anything I do say won't change your opinion about MMA so I'll leave it at that.

Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, or Bill Russel. all of these are correct answers for one reason or another. what's your point?

what's your point? if you're trying to say their panel is corrupted then you have to prove that each individual judge was and that it was an interested endeavor. the WBO can be as corrupted as you want, but that doesnt make the review corrupted. and also you have no authority as a 5 year amateur boxer over the WBO to determine anything (regardless of how long you've been a fan). that qualification is possibly the most meaningless qualification i have ever heard. it's like saying that the umpired in the world series dont matter because you played peewee. you're literally just making yourself sound like a spoiled idiot.

lol so where did I ever say I knew anything about it?

I didn't so save it!

The best part about that trash was that movie "Never back down"

I thought it was pretty cool.

That's fine. Be ignorant. But expect for me to be the first person who laughs in your face when Mayweather calls it quits and your sport become irrelevant. You better jump on the MMA bandwagon while you can because boxing has a few good years left.

The media has a big influence on public opinion. I know people who have never seen Jordan play a game of basketball, yet they'll argue to their grave that he's the GOAT. Now apply that to the Pacquiao/Bradley decision. The fight was being commentated with extreme bias on a telecast that a majority of the public watched. This was NOT a bad decision, yet it's called one of the worst decisions in recent SPORTS history.

I'm what people would call a "student of the game". Even though amateur boxing didn't require me to learn as much as I know about the sport as a whole, I still know all of that information.

If your woman cheated on you, but you guys got back together would you turn a blind eye to the fact that she cheated?

I really like both sports but to say boxing will be dead soon is really dumb.. Promoters wont let it die as theyll just get the next undefeated boxer and hype the shit out of him... Fortunately it works since i love boxing. I mean look at saul canelo alvarez. The hype around his is enormous and believe me he will sell out mexican crowds. The thing is that boxing has very strong ties to nationalities making it very interesting to watch..

Then the next superstar will rise! It's like the never ending cycle of day and night. You have no faith :(.

Don't forget that boxing made Mayweather.....Mayweather didn't make boxing!

sure, those people are idiots and should be desregarded in the same way that i disregard every idiotic thing that you have said about MMA (even were you to be right, which you're not).
Fact is it was a bad decision. it has nothing to do with commentary. might have something to do with who greased pockets better, might have something to do with nationalism or racism. point is the fight wasnt judged right and when reviewed it was unanimously overturned in the WBO record. Bradley still has the belt only because the only one that can revoke his win is the nevada gaming commission or something like that (havent looked into it since the event).

call yourself whatever you want, but boxing occurs within the organizations that sponsor it. your "analysis" (if you can call it that, really you just said how you scored the fight and which rounds you think people won while claiming that commentary is more important than the actual boxing)doesnt matter because you reject the regulation of the WBO. they have rules on scoring (that i'm going o assume you're not taking into account).

1) you're assuming i'm strait and 2) i dont "get back" with cheaters. what's your point? (why do i have to ask this so much with you)

115-113 was not a bad decision because the fight reflected those scores for either of the fighter depending on what you saw. It was a bad decision in terms of revenue because Manny is the obvious cash cow. I wouldn't have a problem with Manny winning 115-113, but they said Bradley won 1 round! 117-111? GTFOH

I never said it was more important than the actual boxing because the actual boxing shows that Bradley won 115-133 if you scored it correctly.

Sorry for assuming you were straight, but just apply it your personal preferences or look at it from a general perspective. The point is that if you do questionable things people have a right to question any of your future actions.

lol straight or gay....a relationship is a relationship.

They were corrupt in the past, so I'll question everything they do in the future.
ok, but assmuming that a specific act is corrupted is dumb. if you cant prove that it is you have no right to accuse. you should instead be weary.

If Manny loses stock they lose money, and that's all the reason I need.
