Kinda like Oscar vs Trinidad? That sure promised a lot of fireworks.
Kinda like Oscar vs Hopkins? That sure was a stinker
Kinda like Oscar vs Pacman? That was such a one-sided affair and pathetic
Kinda like Oscar vs Mayorga? What an idiot Oscar is
Oscar fought Mayorga and then criticizes Floyd for fighting Berto. What a hypocrite
Oscar promoted all of Floyd's fight including Canelo except Pac and now he says all those fights were boring. What a drag queen!
Victor Ortiz, Mosley and Guerrero were all signed to Golden Boy and Oscar promoted those fights and believed they would all beat Floyd
Oscar is cross dressing loser and a worthless piece of shyt like his Uncle BobComment

May 2nd told all the millions of non-boxing fans to watch because these were the two best fighters in the world, then proceed to bore the **** out of them.
May/Pac won the battle but lost the war.Comment

Steve Kim: please check your grammar.
"has had a negative affect"
should read EFFECT, not affect
"who's company is co-promoting"
Should read WHOSE not who's
"a positive affect for the career of Saul"
should read EFFECT, not affect
Also in the paragraph before last, you forgot closing your quote (I mean the paragraph that ends in "I don't know how many years."
Just some observations because I've noticed that, very frequently, articles on this great web site are written with pretty evident grammar errors and this may cause some mistaken words or expressions to spread out as correct by some people, because they have read them written like that by some writing professionals and of course they assume it is correct writing, yet it isn't.
So please do take notice of this.
Now, about the article itself, I would say that the only one to blame for that so called "super-fight" being such a "dud" was Mayweather Jr., because of his cowardly super-defensive "fighting" style, plus his illegal tricks such as excessively holding, but of course as usual he never got penalized for it, gosh not even a single warning from the referee.
If other so-called fighters use excessive holding at will as well, without ever getting penalized for it, then boxing in general will just get worse and worse. Why not for example, warn a fighter after every three clinches and then discount a point at the fourth, in the same round? I assure you that if measures like that were taken, boxing would become way less boring in the specific case of certain fighters that are really staining and ruining it by their nasty excessive-clinching tactics, but never ever get even warned about it by the referee, as if clinching was some sort of a defense technique, which of course it isn't. It is just pure cheating and staining what would otherwise be a fair and entertaining fight.
IMO it's really, really sad the fact that the "fighter" who has the records of highest PPV numbers in the history of boxing, happens to be Mayweather Jr. with such a horrible style of fighting which, aside form being extremely defensive and frankly cowardly, it also includes many illegal tricks that the referee never ever cares to penalize him for, including the already discussed excessive clinching. I am pretty sure that if he wasn't an American "fighter" he would have never ever had such incredibly high PPV numbers, but I guess there had to be SOMEONE replacing De la Hoya as the next boxing phenomenon, and Manny just couldn't be the one simply because he is not an American himself. Sad state of affairs in boxing, but very true. It is just my opinion. I always appreciate honest athletes who don't use tricks to win, and whose style of playing or in this case fighting, is viewer-friendly, and never ever cowardly. But, then again, to each their own of course. Some like it hot, some like it cold. Some like watching certain fighters because of how they fight, and some like watching others because they are their countrymen and/or because they pay attention to their "fighting record" way more than the way they actually fight.Last edited by sterilizer; 10-31-2015, 03:33 PM.Comment

Dont be mad at Oscar he was just answering a question doe lol...theres always somebody saying that bs lol
Is every GBP event gonna be promoted in relation to May 2??? If anything it was the Mayweatjer outcome that that hurt all the fans, they put so much into Pac beating Mayweather that any other outcome was gonna be a disappointment. Oscar just needs to let it go and promote his events without taking jabs at May..i think if he just came out in full drag to one of the press conferences, he can get as much eyeballs on the event as possible...come to think of it, Oscars probably wearing ladies under garnments right now

You're right about whose, easy mistake to make; not so much on effect.Originally posted by sterilizer View Post
While either would be acceptable, it is something a little ambiguous.
Actually, affect is better. Effect refers to the more concrete, whereas affect is more like 'influence'. Strictly speaking, effect is more of a scientific term, used in more clear cut and provable circumstance.
Hence, 'the effect of the chemical reaction.' It would be quite grammatically wrong to say 'you have a negative effect on me'.
In the case of the things you cite in your unnecessary tirade, either is quite acceptable.
Also no one comes to a boxing forum to read long essays. It took my like twenty years on my phone to delete all that stuff you wrote, whatever it was.Comment

I don't care about Oscar, I just stated the truth. It's a lazy tactic some boxing writers use, to pull a single quote out of context from a teleconference, and write some provocative piece about it, which quite misrepresents the individual who said it.Originally posted by wlliam View PostDont be mad at Oscar he was just answering a question doe lol...theres always somebody saying that bs lol
