Fucking Mosley

[Mr.T]

I really believed he could pull out a win.......:mad:

[T-MADDY]

why people hate floyd? the dude is gifted, NATURALLY.

[Dragonspit Jones]

why people hate floyd? the dude is gifted, NATURALLY.

Moseley should've taken him out in the first few rounds if he really planned to win.
Once Floyd realized that he could take Moseley's hardest punches, it was ball game.

People like talent, but when you're too good.....they begin to hate. Look at Kobe.............Lebron............Jay............ ....50. Same niggaz used to worship them talk about them like trash now.

[Mr.T]

I don't hate him....and I don't know why OTHERS do....I just thought Shane could get this one.

[Qwasian]

I think people hate on shit, because it's too obviously fixed...... if your in the entertainment biz then you begin to understand all this shit is bullshit......

floyd made 20mil throw mosely 2 mil to fight and keep it movin.......

[Nerd_Ferguson]

boxing has lost alot of it's allure do to behind the scenes politics and bullshit, i dunno what's fixed or not but I know we're being screwed out of that mannie/floyd fight if it doesn't go down. i'd pay the $55 for that.

[Qwasian]

basketball all that shit is obviously fixed........ they giving muthafuckaz fouls in the playoffs that wasn't even touched. got the wrong people shooting from the line that wasn't even fouled etc..........they can fuck with the fouls on basketball & pretty much make anyone win

If Mannie take the blood tests then they can fight. Shane had no problem abiding by those rules.

[SoulstarShawn]

Mayne aint nobody fucking with Floyd...the hell was yall thinking...thats including Manny. He aint gonna do shit either.

[T-MADDY]

Mayne aint nobody fucking with Floyd...the hell was yall thinking...thats including Manny. He aint gonna do shit either.

iono about that. after seeing shane hurt floyd it confirmed it for me hes gonna have big problems with the super offensive Packie.

and with packie he never dies down or seem to get tired. so floyd gonna have to deal with that for 12 rounds he's not that good.

but I feel packies on something...naturally nobodies touching floyd, yea.

the fight was fixed?...how? and all dude wants is a fair fight with packie. he has alot to lose to not have it done legitimately. thats like a loosing a battle to a bitten verse.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure in large part all pro sports are "fixed". at least at playoff time. There's too much money to be made in ticket sales and memorbilia for them to leave it to chance.

As to why I don't like Floyd: I don't really like anyone who makes a point of showing out. It's Tacky. I think the only real athelete right now I can really say I respect is GSP. He comes to the ring, fights, wins, nods, interviews and heads out.

That's the difference between old money and new money. Old money doesn't feel the need to show out, they grew up around money and it's nothing to them. New money shows out all crazy because they're trying to prove something to themselves and everyone around me. That's not alpha, that's a beta move when they're in the spotlight.

Old money lasts, new money goes broke quick. I know who I'm modelling my life after....

[Mercury]

him being an asshole is part of whats drawing the money. We all know he doesn't really act like that, its the same thing Muhammed Ali used to do.

By him being over the top, you either pay to watch the fight because you got lured into his personality, or you hate him and wanna see him lose.

If he was humble (which he was for his first 30 fights) nobody outside of boxing enthusiasts would pay him any attention. As soon as he started yapping he became one of the biggest names in boxing.

The squeeky wheel gets the oil, thats just how the world works, especially in sports/entertainment. I see alot of products endorsed by Ocho Cinco. I don't see anything endorsed by Marvin Harrison (pre gun charge). People don't never mention Nas in the King Of NY discussions although they mention younger, less selling, but more bragadocious rappers despite his tenure.

Unfortunately the world responds to arrogance. Not even lying, I sit at home and think about going that route, because humbleness gets you no respect in the eyes of those who don't read between the lines

Muhammad Ali did it with a bit more style. There's ways to be loud and known without just being annoying.

I guess what I meant to say it's also about knowing when to make impact, and in what way. Like I mentioned, GSP isn't poor and has a massive fanbase. When you come to the ring and take out the loud, bolsterous dudes one after another, you don't have to say much. Your skills will speak for themselves.

but I digress. You're right to an extent, but wealth maintenance is all about having the right people around you. You could take the easy way to the top, but that will almost certainly mean that when you get there, the support system you have will crumble when the next, louder person comes along. Or, you can have a strong foundation of people to build from and enjoy sustained growth.

[Mercury]

What makes you think he doesn't have that background and support base behind him? Just b/c of how he wants on 24/7 show? And let's keep in mind that he not has not lost yet but he's beaten most opponents in convincing fashion. Cats don't even wanna watch Zab Judah no more after that embarrassment

I wasn't speaking about him specifically, that remains to be seen.

But wasn't there an article up here about how most NFL and NBA'ers are broke soon after their career. Ditto for a lot of NHL'ers (except the ones who already came from well to do families), and athletes from everywhere. Hell, even look at musicians and other entertainers. How many times did Hammer go broke?

Not all, but a lot do.

[Mojo]

So true. He basically ruined Judah's career. You never hear of him anymore.

Also, co-sign Merc's previous post.

One of my favorite fights from the last few years was when Calzaghe played Roy Jone's whole showboat role and proceeded to beat the tar out of him.

Boxing is crazy...like in other team sports, after you retire, even though your last few seasons are usually your weakest...for the most part you are remember for your prime. When Shaq retires, we will reminisce about him on Orlando, LA, Miami. Same thing with Jordan. Its almost like the Wizards years didn't happen.

Boxing though, you kinda gotta stay on point and retire on top. Roy Jones legacy is now that he got knocked out often LOL.

[smooth]

for the record, somebody tell GSP to keep the Vaseline out of his corner..pause..

lmao

that is all....

[Nah]

I'm really starting to believe that being humble gets you no where...I can't stop though...I'm too far ahead to change up...but if an arrogant ass nicca gets outta pocket, I will knock 'em out just to balance the universe. :D

[Mercury]

Even if yÓu don't believe in the bible, and look at it from a purely story standpoint...when Jesus stepped to cats on the hunble, they never listened or they taunted him. When he started walking on water, ressurecting people, or throwing tantrums at the temple, people started being like "oh snap"

Again though, that was all about tact and he did it when appropriate.

During the 40 days and nights, Satan tempted him and he refused each time. He could have shown out, lost faith and turned the stones into bread, but he did not. Nor did he pull himself from the cross when one crucified prisoner said (and I'm paraphrasing) "if youre the son of god, why don't you take youself down?"

not to mention he was born in a manger and had gifts from three kings....

[The Dre Era]

Muthafuck you Shane!!!!!!!!!

[Mercury]

why would yall put money AGAINST someone who never lost and bet FOR the person who lost a few times recently?

[Broadway Joe]

the odds are worth the risk to bet on Shane. Betting $100 bucks on Shane won you $350. While betting $100 on Mayweather only got you $25...I didn't think he'd win, but if he did you got paid.

makes alot of sense, just lose ya money on purpose.........:rolleyes:

[Broadway Joe]

It's called gambling. If you play any game of chance you don't play because you expect to win, you play for the chance and the excitement. If you don't want to lose don't gamble. You think millions of people go to casinos because they have a sure thing?

[Mercury]

I guess thats why I don't gamble much. I can't fathom placing money on someone who has gotten beaten repeatedly versus someone who never lost. Yeah the reward is bigger but ain't no damn reward betting Shane over Mayweather no way in HELL

[Broadway Joe]

I didn't bet on the fight, but some people truly believed Shane could pull it off. It's not like upsets never happen.

[Smoka]

co sign Broadway.. I bet it was muhfucka that dropped a c note on Butler winning it all and he damn near hit the big payday.. I cant imagine what those odds were

[The Dre Era]

have a friend thats an Ohio University Alumni
he won $5,000 on the Ohio Univ upsetting Georgetown in the NCAA Tourney

[Broadway Joe]

I won about 12k dropping 200 on a parlay NFL bet. I had to pick 10 games correctly. I had tried about 30 times before and never got more than 8 right. I cashed out half and ended up losing the rest betting the rest of the season. :( I haven't bet online since.

[Mr.T]

support the underdog

thats what I does

[AGINO]

I just hope Mayweather gets his props now after this win. He fought a very good fighter, overcame adversity (2nd round), and styled on the boxing world.

I guess now they'll say Shane was too old...and when he beats Pac I guess they'll say he was too small. lol.

[Mercury]

I support the underdog ONLY when the underdog is somebody who is NOT supposed to be the underdog, they just aren't getting their props.

I don't support the underdog when the underdog is labeled as one JUSTIFIABLY. You kinda punish people for doing a good job, which I don't understand.
