Jim Lampley of all people,rips Floyd a new one over abuse!

[brocktonblockbust]

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.

The fact is, the safest thing for
Lampley would have been to say nothing about his disapproval of Floyd.

Why is that safe though? What does he have to lose?

To me it's like a Coke employee talking shit about Pepsi...

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?

What planet are you from, do you really believe Floyd is that unpopular?

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)

[ykdadamaja]

Wow. Some of that actually reads as though you could have posted it damaja, how dramatic!

Lampleys not going to say anything that isn't negative about Floyd since he left HBO, and also obviously wouldn't be saying this if he hadn't. He has also had a case or two of domestic violence against if, if I'm not mistaken. The guy is a phony cheerleader, he's creepy as fuck and doesn't actually know anything in my opinion.

Fighters who go all out to please the fans are the likes of Juanma Lopez and Brandon Rios. Some people are content to just watch elite guys go out and box, win to the best of their ability without inviting concussions their way. I hoped for a better fight in the Maidana rematch as well, and I don't like Floyd, but he is still a supreme boxer so I'm watching until that isn't the case or he chooses to retire. Anyone who thinks boxing is better served with him gone; works for a rival network to showtime, or is an idiot.

Everyone says everyone else knows nothing about boxing. It's becoming an overused statement of false fact.

Of course Jim is slamming the competition. Has little to do with Mayweather, but has a lot to do with Shwotime's use of Mayweather.

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...

Let me explain this to you because so many seem uneducated about how television works. And what you say has absolutely nothing to do with how television works. So first you should ignore whoever is giving you the gibberish you spout.

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.

I said nothing about subscriptions. Neither did I mention that Showtime needs NFL/CBS money to compete with HBO. I'm SAYING, and it is quite evident, that the lucrative contract they gave to Floyd was as a result of the NFL/CBS money.

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.

Ron, Nielsen ratings matter not to Showtime but they do analyze them for comparison. Of course subscriptions are the main drive on a pay network. 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.

.... and Showtime's subscription sales was not enough to sign Floyd to the deal he got, right off of the rip. We all know it. They needed the SuperBowl money. It was a gamble, and it worked...

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.

Dude! I know, I know, I know! Floyd opened his mouth when he would have been better off saying nothing, now Lampley has done the same thing while showing courage (probably knowing he would take some heat for his past mistake).
Floyd was trying to give advice to the NFL about being too hard on Rice, and Lampley was talking about Floyd and his problems outside the ring.
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.

[mikeeod]

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.
