Besides...putting Broner on the undercard in a less than ESPN type match..on PPV...is pretty sad. They just need to keep that kid in his car seat for the night and hand him a juice box.

Collazo vs Khan might just steal this show easily. Think it'll be heated and can see both coming off the deck before its over. Thinking Collazo by tko

There's a video where Floyd tries on Maidanas glose and you can immediately see there is no padding over the knuckles. The commission did reject that pair but approved others of the same type. Floyd is saying F them put him in the same gloves I'm wearing.

Almost certainly this is nothing in the long run but it's fun
Wow, didn't hear that. They goosed the gloves When your only shot is to land a bomb Floyds just attacking at his foundation. Winning on the jab before the bell even rings I think Maidana is the kinda guy who could care less
Do they really have to resort to this kind of publicity stuffs now just to sell the fight?
I just kinda felt a bit sad when I came here yesterday for the fight, no usual fireworks before Floyd fight. I remember in the 'old' days, Mayweather fights were the D-Days and things were all abuzz here at this site and there were lots of violence and bloods too. New folks will come in, throw some bombs and gets banned the same day. I'm sure spico remember some of those. And now what? just a day as usual? I thought this fight had a potential for being one of the great fights. The fight probably needs a KO this time, imo.
I get exactly where you're coming from ol friend. The bigger picture, the atmosphere...the "event" of it. I remember them well and the comradery of a huge fight night was-is THE reason I love it. Ya get tired of talking to people during a live fight and %80 of them are yelling "JUST HIT HIT, WHY DON'T HE HIT HIM...then they turn to you and ask you if you think Mike Tyson can still come back It happens.

People come, people go but the quality and depth of this place remains in stone. Many of the old school probally still float and always contribute. Life goes on and solid new members are always jumping into the mix. Hey bud lets be careful what we ask for, remember the Mayweather- Hatton crash You want drug withdrawal...try a Sunday with no Saddo after a huge event . Good to see you dude.
