Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 17, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2018 Matchroom in Kansas tonight... Miller/Bogdan Dinu headlines. Fuck knows who Dinu is, but the Miller train will surely roll on. Absolute huge size difference again. No UK guys on the card which is a bit strange but some added Brandon Rios (who fights Canelos brother) and Gabriel Rosado. Action fighters so it could be a decent night. Matchroom have made the event program available to view too, which is nice... http://www.matchroomboxing.com/fight-nights/jarrell-miller-vs-bogdan-dinu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossman Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Brandon Rios vs Ramon Alvarez is an interesting fight. Fighting at a catchweight of 151lbs - Rios doesn't look particularly healthy but made the weight. How many fights he's got left without being a permanent vegetable is undetermined but he's signed a 3 fight deal with DAZN. Checking out the betting odds, you can get good odds on an Alvarez win 11/2. Alvarez isn't very talented and a standard journeyman. If he's got a bit about him, he can tire Rios out and outbox him.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 18, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 18, 2018 the idea apparently is to put Rios is in with Josh Kelly next year depending on results. That aint gonna be good for Rios' brain cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Boxing News have a list of the top five highest grossing fights ever.... 1. Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao – $410 million; 4.6 million PPV buys 2. Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez – $150 million; 2.2 million PPV buys 3. Floyd Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya – $136 million; 2.48 million PPV buys 4. Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield II – $100.2 million; 1.99 million PPV buys 5. Mike Tyson vs. Lennox Lewis – $112 million; 1.95 million PPV buys. I am assuming they have not included the Mgregor fight for whatever reason and these are strictly American buys and money. If you notice De La Hoya and Floyd had more buys than Canelo and Floyd but did less money. Im sure ive saw the top ten before and the rest are nearly all Tyson.

If you notice De La Hoya and Floyd had more buys than Canelo and Floyd but did less money. I would imagine that's because the cost of the PPV's increased as the years went on. Similar with 4 & 5.Tyson vs Holyfield 2 was in 97 and Tyson vs. Lewis was in 2002. Tyson vs. Holyfield 2 did slightly more buys but less money.

Keith Houchen Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I guess we know what Mayweather will be putting his New Years exhibition money towards. He and cunnilingus denier DJ Khaled have been nobbled. The boxer Floyd Mayweather and the music producer DJ Khaled have been fined for unlawfully touting cryptocurrencies. The two have agreed to pay a combined $767,500 in fines and penalties, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said in a statement on Thursday. They neither admitted nor denied the regulator’s charges. According to the SEC, Mayweather and Khaled failed to disclose payments from three initial coin offerings (ICOs), in which new currencies are sold to investors. Mayweather received $100,000 and Khaled received $50,000 to promote an ICO from the cryptocurrency company Centra Tech. Khaled called the offer a “Game changer” on social media while Mayweather’s promotions “included a message to his Twitter followers that Centra’s ICO ‘starts in a few hours. Get yours before they sell out, I got mine…’,” the SEC said. The boxer – whom Forbes values at $285m – used Instagram to promote ICOs to his 22.3 million followers and told his 7.85 million Twitter followers: “You can call me Floyd Crypto Mayweather from now on.” The SEC found that Mayweather had failed to disclose he was paid $200,000 to promote the other two ICOs. The promotions followed a 2017 report warning that coins sold as ICOs may be classed as securities and that anyone selling or promoting them should comply with federal securities laws that mandate anyone promoting a sale disclose their financial relationship to the company. Mayweather has agreed to pay $614,775 to settle the SEC’s charges. Khaled agreed to pay a $150,275 penalty. Mayweather agreed not to promote any securities, digital or otherwise, for three years, and Khaled, valued at $27mby Forbes, agreed to a similar ban for two years. “These cases highlight the importance of full disclosure to investors,” said the enforcement division co-director Stephanie Avakian. “With no disclosure about the payments, Mayweather and Khaled’s ICO promotions may have appeared to be unbiased, rather than paid endorsements.” “Investors should be skeptical of investment advice posted to social media platforms, and should not make decisions based on celebrity endorsements,” said Steven Peikin, the division’s other co-director. “Social media influencers are often paid promoters, not investment professionals, and the securities they’re touting, regardless of whether they are issued using traditional certificates or on the blockchain, could be frauds.” The US attorney’s office for the southern district of New York has filed parallel criminal charges against the pair.

David Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yeah, I was wondering if he'd get in trouble for that. Most crypto companies are very fucking careful with the language they use in their sales pitch so as not to attract the ire of the SEC, but not Floyd. He's just cutting Insta videos of him on his segway skateboard thing talking about ICO's and making "dolla bills." Terrific boxer, and he's got some handy advisors around him but even they can't stem the flow of stupid entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
