Dana White Angry At HBO's Telecast of PBF/JMM fight

[JazMerkin]

Check the record before you blanket coat this, I have always intended on buying this superfight, the only question was whether to go to the theater or buy it with some friends.............

I think despite the complaints at the start, I reckon most boxing fans (not those who are fans of a single fighter) will be buying this one. It has often remained throughout a mass of fans of a certain fighter from the Phillipines who have said this match-up is terrible & that we should all not buy it for 'the sake of boxing' (anyone thinks I'm chattin shit is either new or has forgotten the April-July period on this site)

Just for the record, most Filipinos will not be buying this fight because we get it for free in our national television.
I will not be buying but I'm definitely watching it.

I just hope the fight will be shown in movie theaters so I can watch it in a big, big screen.

There's plenty of Filipino Pacquiao fans in the States. I wonder why Pac-fans who live in the Phillipines made such an issue of encouraging others to not buy the fight for 'the sake of boxing' if they were getting it for free? Yeah like I don't know

Just to correct you regarding PACFANS who are encouraging people not to buy the fight.... as far as I can remember it was ONLY SADDOBOXER who was doing that. He got banned and after that no one has been promoting about not buying the fight here.

Generalizing Filipinos or pacfans on an issue is something that I detest and hope you refrain from doing that unless you're quite sure.

Hmm........ Good point, I don't remember any Fillipinos on this or other boxing message boards telling everyone don't buy the JMM/PFB fight because it's good for boxing. Even then it was 1 member and he was banned from this site already.

when is the UFC gonna realise its place alongside such sports as the WWF,WWE and understand though it is completely capable of packaging and selling off PPV shows to the masses it is never EVER going to compete with the legendary sport of boxing which has and always will be the number 1 combat sport on the planet!!

We both know it wasn't just him, he was just the ringleader. Quinito, levi#1boxingfan, fan johnny, cnote, as well as the scourge of 10 post posters who showed up all made arguments why we should not buy the fight. 'It was boring tactical fight', 'Pac-Mayweather is all that matters' blah blah blah.

You know very well Bruce that I have been fairly restrained in criticizing Pacfans, so please stop acting like you're an oppressed minority. I'll admit this was one of XaduBoxer's bullshit actions that you were smart enough not to get involved in. However, you know there was a reason a special board was created, to deal with dross like that & not from just XaduBoxer.
