I'm tempted to put in a bet now. But I think people's Mayweather hate can drop that number lower between now and fight night (which means more money for me).


kik, If I were a betting man I'd bet PacMan. I have a feeling he's going to hand MoneyMay his first loss. It won't count on his won loss professional record it will on his legacy. Pac ain't gonna be halfstepping. I believe this fight is happening when I hear the bell.


I have a friend who never fails to tell me, how much $ he's made in his life. Just by betting on Mayweather to win his fights. And he said he made the most $ on the first Pacman fight. Cause people were making the same argument you are now.

If something happened 50 times in a row. And I can get anywhere close to 50% profit. On betting on it happening a 51st time. I'm gonna take that bet.

Exibition boxing is just that, EXIBITION. It's entertainment. Do any really expect to see a KO using 16oz gloves? Mike and Jake are going to make millions with little risk.

I'm in a quandary. I think the fight is at 5:00 and the Lakers start at 5:30. I hope the fight is at 4:30 Eastern.

Ryan Garcia did a Muhammada Ali he SHOCKED DA WORLD! He almost knocked Haney out. Haney had never been down in his career. SCORECARD How DeLuca came up with a draw after 3 knockdowns shows why judges/judging is controversial. VIDEO

Ryan looked like he's in a different league. If Tank hits Haney with some of the shots Ryan did, Haney is going to get slept.

I think Ryan was something like a +600 underdog. Man some people made some nice coin last night.

First fight I was shocked by the result in years.

Everyone, including myself, thought Ryan Garcia had lost his GD marbles but it turns out that was a masterclass in selling the fight. My interest went up ten fold in the build up to the fight.

Ref saved Haney from being stopped several times. Dude 100% had money on Haney.

One major problem with boxing, which is why I gave up on the sport entirely, is the results rarely match what you see. If you watched a fight on mute and didn't know anything about the fighters or judges, your eyes would tell you one thing. Once you turn the sound on and then learn about the scorecards, you're wondering if it's all just a joke.

A few years ago, I was up late one night and a replay of the Mayweather / De La Hoya fight was on. Everyone was asleep so I had the sound on really low and I just watched the action. DLH won the match. You can't convince me otherwise. However, when you heard the results and where the judges came in on the scoring, it felt more like WWE than an honest-to-God boxing match. The sport is a clownshow.

People disregard Garcia because he says some wild stuff. He probably has some level of CTE already. He's got a screw loose. But he can fight/box with the best of them.
