You're getting too emotional in your defense of Floyd and bashing of Arum. I'm not bashing Floyd nor am I a Floyd hater. I just think there's too many shenanigans in boxing that prevent the best fights from happening. And when the fighters themselves begin getting into the politics of the sport, it just makes things worse. No one's saying Arum should win a Nobel Peace prize anytime soon. Him and Don King are cut out of the same mold. But they've also done a lot of good for boxing, like them or not. And again... it's up to Pac to stand up for Pac's best interests. Floyd's hate for Arum shouldn't be a part of the equation. You're wrongly belittling fan interest in all this. If we don't demand the best fights take place..... then what's the point in having these fights at all? Who pays all the big bucks the fighters make for their fights? That's right... the FANS.
My bad... You're right.
The fighters...those guys that are literally
killing themselves for our amusement--shouldn't get involved with the details or politics of the sport. They should just
shut up and fight! They're clearly ruining the sport for all us money spending fans.
Whats the point in risking your life if you're giving 73% of your purse away to a fat fucks who have a stranglehold on the sport and don't care how they use or abuse you?
I don't see how you can say you're fan of boxing if knowing that guys are making less than 27% of their purses seems okay to you.
And yes, it makes me emotional to see idiots like you complain about being deprived of fights when you're just siting on your asses complaining about how these guys aren't dying for you the way you want them to.
That's about 3 "idiots" and 2 "morons". I can see you're quite emotional about the subject. First... the fighters who are, (ahem)...
"killing themselves for our amusement". A word of advice:
Don't watch so many old Roman movies. These are not Christians being thrown to the lions in the Roman Colosseum. These are athletes who chose..... CHOSE.... to pursue what is inherently a dangerous career/ sport. No guns pointed at heads..... no threats if you don't go out there and put on some boxing gloves. No.
Free will.
Ok now about the 27% purses. Well.... I don't know about you.... but 27% of $10 million is still a hell of a lot of money. Is it a fair share?
Of course the hell not. But what am I going to solve by boycotting a fight because fighter "X" is not getting his fair share? Is that what we should be doing? I don't know. I'm not the emotional one here.
Oh... and about the part about me wanting the fighters to die the way I want them to. I mean.... I don't want to insult you or nothing, but....... Aren't you being a little bit of a drama queen? Seriously.
Anyway, and on a serious note..... weren't you ignoring my posts before? What the fuck made you go back on that? Miss me?
