Flyod's goal is to become a household name?! I agree about wanting to get the attention...but he will NEVER have that wide appeal and popularity of Oscar. He half heartedly tries to be likable but always reverts to being brash. And the 24/7 series did nothing to help his "popularity"....at least not in the good sense. He comes across as an arrogant, abrasive personality who likes to carry large sums of cash in his pockets and gamble. I almost feel like he might have pinned himself in the "villain" role for the rest of his career. I also think he is full of bs about retiring...but he just doesn't have the persona or even style of fighting to make him a mega star. As great a fighter as he is...as technically sound...as fast....his style does not capture the hearts of a huge audience. Not hating on his fighting style...but that is just reality. That is why in some ways Floyd could be in a lose-lose situation on Saturday night. Does he put on a technical masterwork that will most likely bore/irritate the majority of the mainstream audience who normally wouldn't shell out $60 to see a fight...or will he try and go toe to toe with a bigger/stronger fighter and potentially get hurt. Oscar...whether you love or hate him....win or lose....will come out of all this still the superstar. Will he be the old veteran who shocked us all by beating the young p4p champ....or will he be the old veteran who valiantly fought the best fighter in the world but came up short.....either way...he will leave this fight richer and more popular than ever. But hey...maybe Floyd doesn't care about stuff like that...maybe he is being truthful about keeping it "real"...highly doubtful....but as it stands right now...if he wants to achieve that superstardom that Oscar has...he needs to go about it a completely different way.

good post mate, i agree pretty much with all of it. This, in my opinion has to be Floyd's biggest fight in his career, and with so much interest, I think it's almost inevitable that he will become a household name. He'll ride Oscar's coattails to it, what with Oscar being the big-name promoter and big-name attraction of this one. If Oscar wins it will be a shock, but with the way Floyd presents himself, not an entirely unpopular one.

Absolutely! I'm on my way out to purchase a handsfree recorder & an extra memory card for the ole' camera right now. I plan on doing the RBR (drunk as shit of course!) & posting it along with photo's (if I can get my camera in...not so sure about security just yet) on Sunday...recovery day.

Wacko's got plans to let it all hang out wif' his wang out in Vegas! Let's just hope I don't get robbed, divorced, raped, or kidnapped in the process!

[Rick_Rack]

Sounds like a good idea Wacko yea why not!

For the record I'm predicting Boom Boom gets Bam Bammed by Medina. Yes, I'm predicting an upset there.

Just came accross these pics. PBF is holding an award given to him by the WBC for being their fighter of the year.

I just came accross this picture and couldn't help myself but add my anti-PBF joke to it.

Question, are you going to start a new thread covering the actual fight only this is 16 pages now with a week to go!

Is there a limit on the number of pages that a thread can grow to then? Let's be honest though, this thread is probably demonstrating the interest and excitement that this fight is producing, which is pretty darn big worldwide.

but it isn't a Round by Round thread is it? If someone came to the board looking to read about the fight would have no idea where that info is and is unlikely to plough through 20+ pages to find it. It's a good run up to the fight thread.
