    Shit, his stupid post about the chocolate unicorn simply shows that you state something, and instead of offering proof, you ask others to disprove it. That's fucking dumb. Any high-school freshman could've figured it out.

    This topic deserves to be stickied. It should be an example of how a shitty thread topic looks.

    In that case, 9/10 of the topics in this shithole should be stickied.

    I claimed the IBF was a nonprofit believing it was. He claimed it wasn't acting like he KNEW it wasn't.

    He's wrong. And if he tries to prove it, he'll find that out.

    The unicorn comment is about trying to prove a negative, not circular logic. I wasn't asking him to prove a negative so the unicorn comment was a non sequitur as any high school sophomore would know.

    Circular logic, however, works just fine when you quote Alabama_Man as proof that something isn't true because of his uncanny knack of being wrong.

    That's true, I thought the Corey Spinks was robbed thread had potential but then Xplosive and Double L posted in it, now it's considered shit.

    He's simply asking you for proof of the IBF. If you'd simply shown the IBF's status as a non-profit organization, you would have shut him up. Do so.

    That says it was the successor to a non-profit org like I originally stated.

    Also being an NPO doesn't necessarily mean that an organization cannot seek or make profit. They are still allowed to generate profit under certain guidelines. Many non-profits are exposed each year as being very profitable. You should do research once in a while.

    As it is, this topic gets shittier by the minute.

    That's stupid. Every museum in the nation sells books, but almost all of them are non-profit. PBS, National Geographic and lots of other organizations make money by selling tours, etc...

    You're full of shit.

    The IBF Book Sellers Org is truly non-profit. They don't trade at a profit or make any money except through donations and gov't subsidies.

    The IBF Boxing Org makes a healthy profit everytime they slap a plastic belt on someone's waist.

    But you're right this topic is full of shit.

    It also states that the current organization is as a non-profit.

    Quit being a douchebag and admit you're wrong or come up with some 'profit.'

    Let mE rephrase that last sentence...quit being a douchebag on this point and admit you're wrong or come up with some 'profit.'

    Actually, this topic's getting a little better. You're full of shit. ALL non-profit organizations make money through vehicles other than donations and government subsidies.

    Any high schooler would know this.

    Generalizing an NPO as something that cannot make profit is ridiculous. There is a lot of profit in many NPOs. The IBF is one of them.

    Really? I just posted this question on another messageboard and this 15 year old kid didn't know anything about NPOs.

    Exposed.

    I said "And, I'm pretty sure they are still a non-profit company which actually might have something to do with their stupid policies if you think about it."

    You replied "I don't know why you think the IBF is non-profit, maybe because it was initially formed as a non-profit org?"

    <!-- / message --><!-- controls -->I replied, " Perhaps I believe the IBF is a nonprofit because it is a nonprofit. Good luck proving it's not. "

    You're a worthless poster. Combined with the fact that you are a prolific poster, fightbeat.com suffers.

    I don't expect to reply to any more of your stupidity in this thread, but I suppose it's possible.

    because I knew you didn't know shit about NPOs. Now you've only confirmed it.

    Prove to me that the IBF doesn't have any internalized profit.

    The IBF pays wages. The IBF makes no profit. One could argue that the men working for the IBF make profit, but the IBF - as a whole - doesn't. LOTS of people abuse NPOs, but the NPOs themselves don't make money. In short:
    • Bob Lee takes all sorts of bribes, and makes all sorts of illegal profits.
    • The IBF doesn't make a profit as an organization.
    • Bob Lee (along with others) makes a profit.
    • The IBF doesn't.
    You are an idiot for continuing this "argument."

    The IBF stopped being under federal observation 3 years ago. There are many accusations towards Marian Muhammad about foul practices. To say that their decision making process for mandatories and title fights isn't profit motivated is purposely blinding yourself.

    But I don't expect anything "less" from the shitheads on this board.

    You guys can continue discussing how the IBF is broken and going in circles in the dark. I already know the answer as to why the IBF is shitty.

    Like I said, prove to me that the IBF doesn't make any internalized profit.

    Prove that the IBF hasn't been audited in the past three years.
