Are you serious dude? Come on now.

Again show me don't just tell me ***er. And I'm not asking you to post something from some likeminded blowhard i'm asking you to show me actual opinion from experts you know the people who actually know what the *** they are talking about.

And nobody would have minded had he did the right thing and took on someone else who hadn't just had his ass handed to him by a club fighter. They may have had an agreement but was anything officially signed?

No!! who the *** does that?

It was a done deal, bro. Read



Judah, Mayweather to fight in Vegas on April 8Email Print Share Retweet0 By Dan Rafael

LAS VEGAS -- One week ago, Zab Judah's claim as welterweight champion went up in smoke when he was shockingly upset by unheralded Carlos Baldomir. Also up in smoke: Judah's planned spring super-fight with pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Or so everyone thought.

But this is boxing and the show apparently must go on.

Mayweather promoter Bob Arum and Judah promoter Don King told ESPN.com on Friday that regardless of Judah's stunning loss, he and Mayweather will still meet here in a 12-rounder on April 8 at the Thomas & Mack Center in an HBO PPV main event.

"We've reworked our deals but the fight will still go on," Arum said. "There are a lot of people who want to see the fight even though Judah lost. Is it as big as it was had Judah not lost? Probably not. Can it still be an exciting event for boxing fans? Sure."

Mayweather and Judah, both fast and flashy fighters, were once close friends. But they have grown more distant as they have viciously trash-talked each other for the past several months in anticipation of an eventual meeting, which, prior to Judah's defeat, figured to be one of the most significant fights of 2006.

A news conference announcing the fight is planned for Feb. 1 in New York, Arum said.

Longtime rivals Arum and King have reworked their deal, both confirmed. Arum also said that he and Mayweather worked out a new deal and that an agreement with HBO PPV was in place.

The one item remaining to be finalized is King and Judah agreeing to terms with each other. However, that appears to be a formality given that Judah has few options coming off a loss, and none nearly as lucrative as a fight with Mayweather (35-0, 24 KOs).

"Don't worry about that. Me and Zab are together. The fight will happen," King said.

Arum and King spent the past week reworking the terms of the fight after Baldomir won a unanimous decision against a woefully underprepared Judah (34-3, 25 KOs) on Jan. 7 in New York.

Mayweather, a junior welterweight titlist moving up to welterweight, had been scheduled to earn a minimum $6 million to face Judah while the Judah/King side was to earn $3 million plus a percentage of the profits.

However, with Judah losing, the deal points have changed significantly. Mayweather will earn a minimum $5 million while the Judah/King side will be guaranteed $1 million plus a percentage of profits above $7 million.

In addition, host casinos Caesars Palace and Wynn Las Vegas reduced the amount of their promised ticket buy by $600,000. Arum also reduced the top ticket price for the fight from $800 to $700.

Exactly man. All those fighters HURT Miguel. Miguel fought like a champ and won, but that stuff takes alot out of a fighter, that is how the game goes.

I know a fighter who has been in several wars and has gotten better after each fight.

I wont reveal who it is though. But ill give you a hint: fighter of the decade.

[Bushidō]

Mosley would be a tough fight for Pacquiao but after what Mayweather did..I wouldn't be surprised if they took the fight now.

[V.WEBB]

dude you said he was coming out of his prime after 140 when fact is he won 5 in a row, stopped all of them except shane mosley, how can you say he was getting out of his prime after 140? this is getting funny.

Dude, he took PUNISHMENT. He didn't go through all of those fights at 140 and 147 unscathed!

You seen the Torres fight? You seen the Corley fight?

[pistol whip]

Lol

Btw there was just over 1 year in between Cotto getting beaten badly by Margs then getting beat by Pac.

A year and a half is just a little over a year?


Well if you word it that way I could see how you might think marg vs Cotto just happened yesterday but it didn't!

[V.WEBB]

I know a fighter who has been in several wars and has gotten better after each fight.

Right, I know who he is too. He is a great fighter. That is what separates him from Cotto. However, he NEVER took a better like the one that Tony gave Miguel.

Again show me don't just tell me ***er. And I'm not asking you to post something from some likeminded blowhard i'm asking you to show me actual opinion from experts you know the people who actually know what the *** they are talking about.

Does Freddie Roach qualify?

*troll mode off*

True. Margarito took alot out of Cotto.

[Calilloyd]

oh yeah he stopped all of them! you guys are hilarious.

You don't get the point obviously. Nevermind. Keep in mind Diego Corrales knocked out Castillo in that first fight. Think about that example.
