Floyd calculated that millions of lost fans and tarnishing of his legacy was less important than big dollars-- a true disgarce to the sport of boxing, or any sport for that matter. Floyd Mayweather is a true disgrace all around.

Jim Lampley....the same piece of shit who himself was arrested in 2007 for domestic violence...yet some of you haters are applauding him for being outspoken about Floyd :rolleyes:
What planet are you from, do you really believe Floyd is that unpopular?Quote:

There's no financial or professional backlash for him because Floyd isn't with HBO and never will be again.
There's no public backlash because Floyd is so unpopular most people will agree with you if you bash Floyd.
Where's the bravery?
Look in the mirror, sir, you've turned what Lampley said into a cowardly act. You are telling us Lampley is a weasel who should have been bad mouthing Floyd for years. You are the one of the reasons it would have safer for Lampley to keep his mouth shut.
We've gotten to the point where I'm not sure if you're being serious or if you're trolling so I'm going to punch out (punches out)Quote:

Mayweather was a dirty little prick before he left for Showtime. This we know. HBO tried to line up harder fights for him, but Showtime came to the rescue with that SuperBowl money they got from CBS and the rest is history...
Showtime neither makes large sums from PPV or loses large sums from PPV because their percentage of a PPV is so small. PPVs are nearly irrelevant. The next thing that is nearly irrelevant is ratings. Because it 's a subscription channel. What matters is subscriptions. Showtime doesn't need NFL CBS money. Look at the subscriptions!!! Showtime makes huge gains on HBO year after year. People don't get that the Mayweather deal has been a boon for Showtime because they don 't understand the f'n business model. People should not speak of what they don't know but this is the internet so you get morons speaking of ratings on a subscription channel(laughably stupid) or huge losses on a PPV(also laughably stupid). This is the way, everyone has an opinion and 99% of them don 't know what they are talking about.
Floyd may have gotten a contract from Showtime, but not near as lucrative if it wasn't as a result of the SuperBowl boost that it gave Showtime and their ability to offer such a lucrative contract.
Truth is truth, even if it comes from a piece of shit- as you say.Quote:

The one error you made was minimizing the importance of the ppv numbers to Showtime. It was a tremendous contract they gave Floyd and they rely on those ppv revenue. If it was strictly subscription issue they wouldn't need to put the fight on ppv which I actually think would be a good way to go. CBS has been in the financial crapper for a time, I haven't checked out their stock recently.Quote:

My man p4p brought that up. So it is true. I did not know that. I've actually always liked Lampley. I don't know the merits of his case but if he is another women beater he should keep his mouth shut on the subject. I make it a point never to shine the light on the errors of others when I am doing the same thing. I choose just to be an ass, not a hypocritical ass whenever I can restrain myself enough to do so.Quote:

Floyd wound up giving an apology for his remarks. I don't think you'll get a apology from Lampley, no matter what his past mistakes are.
Everyone thinks Floyd is getting picked on (he makes it so damn easy, with a potential court date facing him, he runs his mouth about being too hard on Rice), poor guy.
Lampley decides to take it to Floyd, seeing as how Floyd has been getting a pass from boxing for the past few years about domestic violence, and becomes the cowardly, opportunistic, SOB that shot poor Floyd in the back.
Wow. Let's just simplify things and get everyone back on topic. Floyd is a moron and it was disgraceful for him to basically condone what Ray Rice did to that woman. Floyd is scum as a human being and the only thing worth admiring of Floyd is his ability and work ethic/discipline. Next, lampley was spot in with his comments and if there is video of him (Lampley) treating a woman like Rice did, then he (Lampley) should be banned also. The thread is highlighting Lampleys comments, however, and they were spot on concerning Floyd's moronic statements. Things will end badly for Floyd. He is uneducated and as ignorant and despicable outside the ring as he is genius and beautiful to watch (his technique/ability) inside the ring.
Could not have encapsulated this issue any better.Quote:
