Britkid & Hairdoo...that's the best way I've heard it put yet.Originally Posted by CutMeMicK
Mick...where Floyd's gonna send Zab...neither of you will need a coat...hell & back is all I'm sayin.
I think that Zab's gonna come in too determined & go for the knockout...that's when Floyd works the best.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
I think King is setting Zab up to squeeze every last cent he can make off of him and then king will yank the rug out from underneath him. Wether zab wins or loses, king still gets paid.
Just how it works i guess. A fighter is hot and a promotor tells anyone and everyone about his great fighter and starts the fireworks with anyone whos got a bigger name. He gains the fighters confidence and showers him with praise and gifts. Then the fighter racks up a few losses and the promoter knows hes useless as a star and puts him in against more popular guys, he knows the fighter is gonna lose to.. so he bleed out every last dollar from him. Finally, the promotor sets the fighter up for one big last fight promising him enough money to retire with and when he gets dismantled for the last time, and is laying there battered and bruised looking at the fall he has taken from glory to glue factory... the promoter rolls him and goes through his pockets... Then walks away like he never heard of you...
You'd think more fighters would learn how to protect themselves from this.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

CC yup and using the angle... "Hey, I know what its like to be a fighter.." then as soon as don or arum are put out to pasture and more of the pie becomes available... They'll sprout horns and a tail at the sight of all that money.Originally Posted by Hairdoo
