    Yeah I know he's saying that and all of us keep mentioning that nothing like that has happened in half a century so why is that suddenly the standard?

    maybe it's not as bad and widespread as you think

    I don't even think it's all that bad and widespread... But it definitely exists ... It's a laughably regulated sport with power concentrated in the hands of precious few, the perfect recipe for corruption

    Agreed.

    Can anyone say with a straight face that Mares Vs Agbeko wasn't blatant corruption? Agbeko got told off for punching him, and didn't he get a point deducted for knocking him down by that cunt Mora? :lol: Was that incompetence? It was a fucking blatant and disgraceful display of corruption.

    How about Rios Vs Abril? Was that incompetence?

    mora allowed mares to land a few dozen blatant low blows

    Fucking hell yeah, I half forgot about that, I was just remembering him being on Agbeko's case constantly, it was like Agbeko had 2 opponents in the ring.

    But yeah, at the same time he let Mares get away with frequent, blatant low blows. It was sickening, and the fight that made me want to see Mares KTFO, which good old Johnny made a reality. It would still be nice to see Mora pistol whipped.

    For me, Rios vs Abril was corruption.

    Let me ask you this Mex. How did you feel about Sturm vs De La Hoya?? Close decision that could have gone either way or was that about the Hopkins fight that September?

    To be honest puerto, I didn't take enough notice of it at the time to have a clear opinion on whether it's a true robbery.

    If it is, then yeah, probably about the Hopkins fight.

    I like how I've gotten under this loser's skin. (Go Ronda, beat men!!) Everything to him is an absolute. A characteristic of dimwits, coincidentally or not.

    The sport will not take the necessary steps to figure out why disparate judging occurs. I suspect incompetence (meaning not knowing how to judge) and corruption are way down the list of reasons. Right near or at the top will be that many rounds are close enough to arguably go to either fighter.

    I don't think you've gotten under anyone's skin, ever, you're too pathetic. I just like highlighting how stupid you are mikE, you dumb cunt.

    If you gave DLH every single possible benefit of the doubt, you could maybe give him 4 rounds. Sturm schooled him. Same with Whitaker-De La Hoya. A judge scoring the Mayweather-DLH fight for Oscar was also pretty atrocious, as was HBO's commentating during that fight. Floyd Sr playing both sides of the fence afterward with Merchant was embarrassing to watch

    True.....but Uncle Sam Sham had big plans.

    White guy was not going to be allowed upset their mega-money rich fight with Hopkins.

    But Blacks and Hispanics can never get a break in boxing.

    Lets face it, Golota got title shots for fun. WhiteHeavyweightPrivilege#

    Except you don't highlight anything. You just act really, really mad. Like a baby. Highlighting stupidity is what I did with your Ronda comments. Keep crying and keep being so sure about your opinions. It's cute.

    It's amusing that mikE is too retarded to realise he's recognised as the dumbest cunt on Fightbeat now that qwerty has left, and is pretty much a joke.

    mikE, why don't you tell us again how Ward is greater than Hopkins, Bradley beat Pacquiao, Duran is not a top 100 ATG, Donaire - Narvaez is an even fight, and Dawson is better than Floyd :atu:

    $74 million gate before all the ticket brokering. gotta figure the real gate will be closer to 250 mill

    Yup. Someone is getting a shit load of money from this fight and it's not May or pac.

    how many of those tickets did floyd and manny get, respectively? i suspect they both took a pretty good chunk.

    mayweather jr gets a lot of the prime time tickets and will scalp them. got him into big trouble with uncle sam for the hatton fight

    Do you mean free tickets to give to their family and Friends or Do you mean how much money they get from the gate?
     
  28. Anthony

    Anthony Admin Staff Member

    Yeah but it's not just tickets. I dont think when they mention live gate they are talking about Just tickets people bought anymore. I think it includes everything.
     
  29. Neil

    Neil tueur de grenouilles

    live gate refers to tickets sold at face value

    Yeah i know, but I have to imagine merch sales will be involved. I could be wrong i guess, i just cant imagine ticket sales alone brining that in.
