Yea I would agree. I just am not big into boxing. For Boxing I think I would classify as the casual fan. Mosley > Clottey to me from that perspective. Skills wise I could be totally wrong but I don’t think any causals really no who Clottey is.

I’m too big of an MMA fan for that. My opinion is Ok you got great standup let’s see what you can really do. Lol. Turrible.

He’s still rated #3 on the p4p list and demolished Margarito last year.

Yea he’s far from washed up.

Mosley TKO’d the “kingpin of 147”.

He’s a big name at Welterweight, he is the REAL #1 Contender for the Ring Title. However, due to corrupt politics, Pacquiao somehow soared past Mosley after defeating Cotto who was ranked at #5 or #7 on the Ring’s TOP 10 list.

So it’s obvious the #2—Mosley vs the #3—Mayweather will not be for the Ring Championship title. They are awaiting negotiations between a Mosley/Pacquiao or Mayweather/Pacquiao. However, I gurantee you if Mosley loses and Pacquiao wins—Pacquiao will retire in order to run for Congress in the Phillippines, leaving Mayweather to face either Paul Williams, Miguel Cotto or Andre Berto. If can cap two of the three, then I don’t see how Pacquiao has any excuses not to follow through with blood tests to make the fight happen.

Dana also tweeted that TUF12 was LW and LHW. And you need not apply unless you weigh 165-170 for LW or 225-235 for LHW.

No sir, he’s giving them out to each person by the pair. So that’s 2 tickets per lucky fucker.
10 lucky fuckers get tickets.

so you’re not lucky if your buddy calls you up and says “hey you unlucky fucker, we’re going to the fight, i just got 2 tickets from dana white!”?

Sure, you would be lucky. But not a lucky fucker. According to Dana’s criteria, you are one of the lucky fuckers if you are 1 of the 10 guys who receive pairs of tickets.

So there are 10 lucky fuckers once again. =]

Clottley is damn good...

But Pacquiao is amazing. I am stoked for this fight, wish i could have gone to it.

UFC has done too good of a job on me. I still don’t get on the edge of my seat for even a guy like PacMan compared to a big fight in the UFC. The best thing they ever did and why I will never hate them is that they put fights together that fans want to see. Boxing has long held out on those fights that fans just need that people have given up on them.

I wanted to see Tyson Holyfied in Tyson’s prime. That shit pissed me off I’ll never forget!

Tyson-Anyone in Tyson's prime

was a pretty one-sided fight.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

by Llewdor on Mar 10, 2010 3:58 PM EST up reply actions  

Not really. Tyson was a chickenshit when people weren’t afraid of him. That’s what happened in the Douglas fight.

Tyson was great when everyone let him get inside. But as soon as they longer fighters who made him work through a good jabs came around he would have (and ended up) being much lower ranked than people thought. Douglas, Hollyfield, and Lewis proved this. And if he stuck around the Klitschkos would have done the tooled him badly.

Tyson had an STD and was in no condition to fight.

I watched the 24/7 for it. Pacman will take him out in the 1st round. Oops! Your out $60 bucks. The undercard will awful and boring. I love Pacman but this fight just doesn’t do it for me.

by snakecharmer1340 on Mar 10, 2010 2:55 PM EST up reply actions  

i personally will eat my hat if Clottey gets knocked out in the first round.

I’m no boxing expert, but every time I’ve watched Clottey, he’s shown good (as far as I know) defense, and a good chin.

I dunno boxing is just dead. My father is good friends with a couple of champs and what not. He knows like three boxing champs. One who beat Hearns twice out of three I believe. Yet I have no motivation to go meet with him or train or anything.

If it would have been the MMA equivilant I would be over there in a heartbeat.. Guess its a generational thing.

by p123 on Mar 10, 2010 3:01 PM EST up reply actions  

Espn, Fox sports, Showtime, HBO all have fights every weekend and I usually give them a look. The Pacman name will sell the fight but there’s no huge buzz out there for this fight. I don’t see them selling more than 700k-800k PPVs which is not amazing for one of boxing’s top draws.

by snakecharmer1340 on Mar 10, 2010 3:05 PM EST up reply actions  

that would be pretty cool to sit wih 20 mma fans, hoping for the day ufc brings a show to dallas stadium

i am glad to see dana is going to the boxing fights, Maybe he will have a great time and be amazed on how good of an atmosphere it will be, And maybe he might want to bring a ufc fight there, He says he doesnt want to have in big stadiums because it takes away from the experience, but 90 percent of the people end up watching the big screens anway. especially at dallas stdium.

Ten people win a pair of tix. Thats 20

Then what are you talking about 10 people not 20?

I would love to see UFC at Cowboys stadium. I went to 103 last year, there were a couple of fights in the crowd, but overall I thought it was a great turnout. Something like 17k people. It would have to be some big names to draw the 42k people this fight is bringing to the stadium.

I told you not to f*ck with me.

by Romoesbueno on Mar 10, 2010 5:16 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree man i would love to see that. finally someone who agrees lol

i think mir brock 3 would be huge, and i think they would do well. I think most of the tckets would have to be pretty cheap. With so many fans attending u could afford to sell cheaper tickets. I know in Canada they sould easily do 45,000 stadium. I wonder how they would do at dallas stadium?

by #1 piggy on Mar 10, 2010 5:22 PM EST up reply actions  

That would be a huge fight, you would have to stack it with a few other big names though, if you really wanted to push the attendance. Having UFC on that massive video board would be great.

Dana White is like Steve Irwin

He’s offering MMA fans tickets to a Boxing event.

Dana: “Here we have the Boxa’ in it’s natural habitat… don’t get to close, they may hit ‘ya with their HUGE…ten ounce gloves. Howeva’, the Boxers only weakness is the leg kick or the takedown. If you are eva’ confronted by one of these wild animals — remember to kick the leg or on in for the takedown if you wish to survive..”
