Another Gold Medal
Nah it was the Shane fight breh. That main event still pisses me off to this day. These nikkas kept touching gloves like a pair of hoes and the undercard was entertaining as hell too with the Arce and Pavlik fights setting the stage for a good main event and these fukks shyt the bed. :snoop:

He was fine for the Bradley bout from what I remember.

Shane tasted that power and was like "lets be friends, friend" and Manny obliged :francis:

I was at first....but then after the odds came out, and thinking about it a little more:
Why don't you leave yourself a lil' somethin' so you can recover if things go sour. There's no coming back from the $15 mark.

I have 100% confidence Jhonny Gonzalez is winning though:smugbiden:

I fully expect to be 18-1 after tonight, and continuing my streak as the longest reigning "The Ring Predictions Record Champion" of all-time:win:

Ain't nothing wrong with that nikka's calves man :shaq2:

Calves blah blah blah same ole propaganda ...Manny needs to worry about that work he's catching in sparring, there is a reason for Roach cutting his sparring and the excuses http://i2.Mediafakeout.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Pacquaio_Blackeyes1.jpg

Mayweather-Pacquiao: Tussle Breaks Out Over Fees




The most lucrative fight in boxing history continues to have sidebar drama from every angle. Welterweight champions Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will finally collide on May 2nd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

HBO (representing Pacquiao) and Showtime (representing Mayweather) are coming together to stage the highly anticipated pay-per-view event.

To date, neither network has revealed the pay-per-view price tag. There appears to be a good reason for the delay.

According to the Dow Jones Business News, HBO/Showtime requested a 70-30 split from the pay-television distributors. The paper says typically the split for a pay-per-view event between distributors and programmers is around 50-50. The pay-per-view is expected to have, according to DJBN, a suggested price of $90 dollars - a record high.

The HBO/Showtime offer of 70-30 was quickly rejected by providers. DJBN says there has been little movement from either side since.

"Everybody at some point will hopefully be rational and we'll be able to put our heads together and come up with a good solution. We're not there yet," said Michael Berman, executive vice president and general counsel of iN Demand, which negotiates on behalf of big cable operators including Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable Inc.

Because of the high demand for this fight, HBO and Showtime are balking at a 50-50 split. The representatives of both fighters will have to sign off on any split agreement.

"I wouldn't agree to [a 50-50 split]," said Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao. "I really believe everybody agrees that there has to be a more generous split and they are in the process of working out what it will be."

Who would we like to be the ref for this fight? Kenny Bayless? Tony Weeks? Joe Cortez? Robert Byrd.

I like Kenny Bayless the least. He's way too busy and always has that look of he's about to shyt himself which symbolizes his overly cautious approach to infighting and clenching as with both the Mosley and second Maidana fight.

Joe Cortez usually starts out tight but loosens up as the fight goes along as he did in the Ricky Hatton fight and he was liberal in the Ortiz fight as well. I would be ok with this but I worry that he'd slow down the beginning of the fight too much.

Weeks is great in my opinion because anything goes for the most part and I'd rather the ref be on the liberal side instead of being conservative. The first Maidana fight and the Cotto fight were great examples.

Robert Byrd was good in the Guerrero fight and I liked his work in the first Pac Bradley fight.

What say you? Or has the ref already been chosen and I just don't know?
