How on earth is Lopez on PPV? That's the weirdest PPV headline I've ever seen. No way is he PPV worthy yet.

 

Maybe Latin Fury refers to the people getting pissed off for having to pay for these f'n cards.

At least it'll be on the internet a day or two afterwards.

 

There might be a free livestream of Abraham/Marquez on the website of the German TV station. I´ll let you, if some are interested.

 

Yeah, that would be cool. I'm a fan of Abraham and detest Marquez, so I need to see this.

 

artie:

 

not likely. Top Rank is extremely cunty about their content, and rarely does their stuff stay posted on youtube or any other 3rd party site for very long.

I agree with you and others in the thread, though... it's absurd that Lopez is headlining a PPV card (at $35, no less). Arum talked all this shit after the PDL fight that it was insulting of reporters to ask if Lopez could possibly fill in the co-feature slot for Judah-Clottey, that Lopez is now an official headliner.

So now the plan will be to string JuanMa along on the Latin Fury circuit against no-hopers while forcing HBO's hand. Something tells me it won't be long before Lopez becomes a chapter in Hauser's next series of exposès.

 

But back to this weekend's schedule - regardless of where it airs (Telefutura, Showtime, HBO, PPV), I like that much of it focuses on the future of the sport. The only exception is Abraham-Marquez, though it does further aid AA's cause for American fight fans become more familiar with him, thus demanding a Pavlik fight.

 

I think Gamboa gets "upset".

 

:: Gamboa is fighting a shitty opponent.

 

That's what the handlers of Amir Khan and John Duddy thought.

 

Care to bet then?

 

What odds are you giving me?

 

gamboa has fought elite fighters from all over the globe. much like jokozuna, his opponent has been FED a steady diet of creampuffs.

 

The closest you'll get to elite is having three of the same letters in your name.

 

I'll give you 5-1 if you want it.

 

$20 US.

 

So I gotta cover $100?

 

When did Duddy lose? As for Ramirez-Gamboa, Gamboa is going to whoop him.

 

::::

 

I haven't seen the line for this fight, so I dunno if Im cutting or shading here.

 

20x5=100::

fuck it, how's about a buck. That's my final offer.::

 

I was just asking a question, man. Im good to cover the $100.

 

Duddy got beat up pretty good and was hanging on but the KO victim I was thinking of was Bernard Dunne.

 

your cowardice is exceeded only by your corpulence, you wolf ticket selling butterball

 

Shouldn't you be celebrating some jewish holiday or cutting off some baby's foreskin and rubbing it on your lips?

You haven't even done a sig bet at this place and I'm the coward? You are a lowlife scumbag and even on the internet you are pathetic.

 

I thought Neil was a skinny black guy?

 

He wishes.

 

Okay. We're on.
