I was planning to go. Until Bob Arum apparently claimed the cheapest would be $500 :shock: :shock: In all honesty I think he just wanted a break from boxing so he 'retired' Decided to come back and make some more money. Can't really blame him.

Not to everyone's taste but I remember loving it when I was about 14 so it's a great piece of nostalgia. And I love the beat so it's all good 8)

I've finally found a song I've been loking for for about a year 8) I'm so **** happy!!

Did Money Mayweather Gets Madoffed? Why did Floyd Mayweather Jr retire from boxing? Because he no longer needed boxing for anything. A position he cemented by walking away from a rematch of the most lucrative fight in the history of the sport. Many, including myself, feel Mayweather made a terrible mistake. Naturally "Money" didn't care what any of us thought, and he had about $40M reasons to feel this way. Why did Floyd Mayweather Jr return to boxing? Money. What the hell happened to all of his money? That's the question nobody has been able to answer, until now. To make a long story short, Boxingtalk.com understands that during his retirement, Mayweather quickly formed a friendship with a fellow named Willie, who allegedly managed to hustle Mayweather out of so much of his money that he couldn't even afford to pay taxes on his 2007 earnings. Allegedly Willie told Floyd that he can turn $1M into $4M in a month or less. Floyd gives him the mill and a few DAYS later Willie comes back to Mayweather with $5M. Of course greed is the reason Mayweather allegedly decided to give Willie the vast majority of his bank account (anywhere from $26-42M) instead of another million or two, or three, or four that he just made. Mayweather allegedly gives Willie all of his money, and Willie hasn't been seen or heard from since. Perhaps Big Willie told Floyd that he could turn eight figures into nine figures on another quick flip and it became too much for Floyd to resist. The desperation Moneyless Mayweather's experienced was evident when he nearly signed a three fight deal with Don King Productions without informing his advisors Leonard Ellerbe or Al Haymon. Boxingtalk also understands that Haymon, had to leave his ill mother's bedside, and rush to Florida to block the deal from happening by assuring Floyd that he would make more for his next fight without King. Haymon also allegedly broke off Floyd with a substantial amount of money to hold him down until pay day. This probably marks the first time Mayweather, an HBO fighter for years before Haymon joined the team, actually needed the concert promoter for anything. Being affiliated with the best fighter in the world certainly helped Haymon secure clients. Working with Mayweather also enabled Haymon to get other clients of his like Vernon Forrest (RIP) and Andre Berto quick title fights against less than stellar opposition because of WHEN Mayweather vacated. Forrest defeated Carlos Baldomir for the WBC 154 pound title Mayweather won from Oscar De La Hoya and Andre Berto's HBO televised tune up against Mickey "Mouse" Rodriguez became a world title fight when Mayweather vacated the WBC welterweight strap he defended against Ricky Hatton in his last fight. Making those moves fattened everybody but Mayweather's pockets, so according to my calculations Haymon still owes Mayweather at least one favor. Since he walked on the De La Hoya rematch, Mayweather's decisions have enabled Manny Pacquiao to become a boxing superstar, have cost Floyd millions of dollars in cash, jewelry, automobiles and priceless personal items like the outfit he wore against Zab Judah (nearly $10,000), and the segway shown on HBO's first 24/7 ($3k) were auctioned off on ebay. Fortunately, he has the talent to make it all back with interest in a year or two. He's always trained like a hungry fighter, and is one of the most gifted fighters I've ever seen, but he needs a win over Marquez more than he's ever needed anything from boxing before because a loss to Marquez would prevent Lil Floyd from ever making big Willie money again. From BoxingTalk right before the JMM fight.

It's gone, whatever it was. What did I miss? Just out of interest. Do you believe those stories about 'Willie' and him screwing Floyd? (Not literally you dirty ****)

Lovely pic of you and the missus

**** hell :shock:

On the money as usual

It's not Pac fans. It's that racist weirdo farmboxer. Is it really just him? I must've seen it about a thousand times Witton, I know this will (might) make you happy, Mosley/Berto is on Sky Sports :!:

Yep, Diaz is a great fighter and anyone who beats him should get lots and lots of credit 8) Hopefully I'll be able to read the books pretty sharpish, got a bunch of English coursework to do soon :evil: Guess I can read it on the way to training though

What colour leggings to get is the bigger decision. Pink to match the shoe fringe type thingy

Pacquiao is a bitch Incidentally I've started reading that Boxing Confidential book I recommended to you again, get it. It's by Jim Gray, in case you're interested. Also there's 2 books out there on the Tyson rape trial, both are great reading. Jim Brady? I ordered it earlier along with the Teddy Atlas autobiography Btw, does the saying 'Void is Void' piss you off as much as it does me Shit yeah that's it, Jim Brady....it's heavy going in places but if you are serious about being a fighter there's a lot of important lessons to be learnt in there - and you'll learn a lot of interesting stuff about the way things used to be in the mafia controlled days, crazy as hell in places and there's a lot of sob stories in there too, reduced me to tears in places. Teddy Atlas's autobiography? WHY??? That Thomas Hauser book on Ali is a must must read too, if you ain't read that then you ain't a boxing fan I actually felt guilty reading that for what a mean word removed I am at times, wish I had the all round decent nature Ali has. I've never heard the saying void is void until you just posted it....what's it' supposed to mean? I heard good things about the Atlas book (I hope they weren't talking about an actual **** atlas :? ) Looking forward to working my way through the boxing confidential book. Time to step uo the training and get into the Amateurs so I'll have to decide what kind of a career it'll be Cherrypicking the money fights most likely 8) The 'Void is Void' crap is something from the ESB general about Floyd. Pac fans saying it in a serious way makes me cringe but I find it strangely funny at the same time :?

Get outta here Jim Royle. Pacquiao is a bitch Floyd 8) 8) 8) 8) Paulie

She looks about 12 you perv! Very Niiiiice [/borat]

Well it's certainly a way of increasing your income. Damn right, **** some fat chicks

Seems a bit on the mean side to me. Do you expect anything else from them?

Apparently he has big hands. I think I'll train him & his older brother 8)

My aunt had a baby boy this morning 9lb 3oz

I'd like NRC to start given that he was top class against them in August. I do not think NRC will start. I also think he'll be off soon.

At least there's one Arsenal fan who isn't a total rocket polisher. Fair enough assessment

From an Arsenal perspective, that fat word removed Dowd gets a 10

This ref is a fat fag.

Are we on Sky Sports 1? There seems to be 2 different match screens

I have a sudden urge to go and buy some scarves.
