Fighters who live(d) in Las Vegas

Besides PBF, what other fighters have lived in Las Vegas?

What happens when there is no financial incentive (e.g. in Vegas) to make fights in which the outcome is in question?

 

?

 

Well, do you want to watch a sport? Or do you want to watch a play? If you ask Sly, he'd say a play. What happens when plays become more profitable than sport? Has it already happened?

 

I was 99% sure this was another agenda driven thread but just wanted that extra bit of proof.

 

Steve Dave...I think it's time to make good your promise....

Agenda is a word some idiot here decided should replace the more familiar term, "point." So, am I attempting to make a point? Yes. And I hope everyone who makes a thread is doing the same. How many threads out there don't make a point? "Agenda" is just a word used to label "points" the reader would rather not be confronted with.

 

Diego Corrales

 

Hundreds.

 

No. Agendas are just that...agendas. And you have plenty of them.

 

this is your retort? defining a word with the same word? wow. convincing. if you have an agenda (i.e. point) you've not made it here.

 

Agreed. What a stupid thread.

 

hi Joe. how are you? did you get a new skate-board recently?

 

:: LOL.

Oh, and Mike Tyson.

 

Sonny Liston

 

mike mcCallum lives in vegas.

 

I think alot of up and coming fighters come here because there is good sparring here. I think top rank even brings guys out here because this is where the company is based.

 

Coming from the guy who makes up his own definitions, AND has subjected the forum to more agenda driven posts than anyone else, ever...that means nothing.

 

I think we should maybe take up a collection. ::

 

What the fuck, Double L

get to the fucking point

you try to be cute with these stupid goddamn threads, but you lack the wit to pull any of it off

Also, it would help if your AGENDAS had any substance

 

Did Double L catch Floyd having sex with his lady?

 

Im either thick or not quite thick enough because I have no idea what this thread is about.

 

Double L - pointing out subtle ironies in an illuminating & polemic way takes quite allot of intelligence. You don't quite have it. Don't feel bad, most of us don't. But please stop trying & failing because these threads are just annoying.

 

A better question to pose is which fighters DON'T live in Vegas. The only profession more prevalent in Vegas is strippers.

 

It makes me sick how many guys out here masquerade around as UFC fighters.

 

polemic? gimme a fucking break.

 

I guess my point is that one of the major arguments against the claim that boxing is fixed is that it wouldn't make sense financially since so much revenue is made from bets. But I'm not sure that's the case anymore. And if it's not, what reason (financial) is there for boxing, at least at the highest level, not to be fixed?

 

Ok "in a way which makes a 'point'", then.::

 

It might be a good idea to get straight to the point with the premise of the thread.

The title is "Fighters who live(d) in Vegas". From there, it's either an info-gathering thread or perhaps a discussion about those fighters and their Vegas experiences.

However that is not what happened here:

It became a cross between fighters who live in Vegas and a strangely constructed question which would seem to have a really easy answer:

To paraphrase, "What happens when there is no financial incentive to make competitive fights?"

There's always a financial incentive to make competitive fights. If there wasn't, that would mean people weren't interested in seeing competitive fights.

Every fighter gets a gimme now and then unless they are really on the slide...at which point, no fight is a gimme. That's not the case here. Obviously Floyd has taken on a few softies, but now he's taking on Mosley.
