Yes, I remember that many fans of Mayweather have said that the Filipino champ was just faking that he got an injury prior to the fight to make an excuse but later on, it was revealed and confirmed that Pacquiao did really had a shoulder injury which causes his performance to decline especially in the late rounds.

That is the downside of this industry, they got the four major bodies to help both camps settle and materialize a fight, and then give the people the entertainment they wanted but instead, these bodies are on the payroll of some influential promoters.

Yes, it was really evident. We can see that it wasn't his confidence to shoot that was impaired, it was his performance, and they got a massive pressure from the management to create a better outcome because they are looking forward to seeing the opposite way because they acquired Kyrie to help Luka. I don't know what's with the management, but I'm sure they know that they aren't that good in defense anymore and that is the consequence for getting an All-star caliber.

With their loss earlier against the Clippers against the Heat, their tunnel to participate in the play-in becomes more and more smaller as days goes by. I'd choose the Jazz over the Dallas right now to participate in the post-season games because they certainly got more chances to reach further and it's not impossible to happen.

By some, you mean the minority? Because I really don't see that there's a lot of fans expect from Canelo's die-hard fans who are also wishing to see the rematch with the hopes that Canelo can somehow give a difference. I mean, that's just like wishing to see a Caleb-Canelo rematch, it just doesn't make sense anymore because it was a landslide victory.

Also, I think the rematch will probably be interesting enough and will get the people's attention if the rematch will be contested at 168 and not on 175 where Bivol is more dominant just like what we saw in their first fight. If ever this rematch will happen at 175, Canelo might've wanted to add another embarrassment to his career for the sake of money-fight.

And for that, best assume that Naoya Inoue will make a heavy preparation in this fight because he knows and by your words recognized that Steph Fulton is not an easy wall to break through. We all know what will likely happen once Inoue is serious, he will be a different monster and will try to be more dominant in the fight, and while the fight is getting intense, Inoue will evolve more until one of them will survive the fight and have it on their favor.

Same here, it's much more entertaining and fun watching two boxers going back and forth in the ring because the fight is just so close and intense. The last time I see Inoue having a good fight was the time he first encountered Nonito Donaire.

That is only possible if only Jason Moloney is also interested to make it happen but since Moloney already showed some signs that he doesn't want to get himself in the same ring with Inoue, it will probably take much more longer than 2 years considering that there's two more belts left to acquire with each belt got their own respective fights and then let's count the preparations and discussions to make it happen. So yes, I think 2 years won't be suffice.


Yes, of course, who wouldn't want to see Nonito Donaire achieve that kind of feat in his most beloved sport before he makes an exit but just like you said mate, it might not possible considering those factors you've also mentioned. For now, it's much better to see him win first to become a champion once again and then we will have another discussion/speculation if he still wants to have some more.

I'm afraid you got your facts wrong my friend. First off, it wasn't Tank Davis who demanded a catchweight at 136, it was Ryan Garcia because it was said that he's not that suitable anymore to fit at 135 and to give back the favor, the latter also agreed with Tank's camp to have a rehydration clause which will limit the latter's weight in the day of their actual fight.

Take note, this wouldn't happen if only Ryan Garcia proceeded with a plain fight that will be contested at 135 but since his camp asked some favor that will give them an advantage, it's no wonder that Tank's side will also make up something to even out the table.

Second, Ryan Garcia was already more than two years inactive at 130 if that's what you mean because his last two fights was contested at 140 where he fought Emmanuel Tagoe and Javier Fortuna, respectively.

You certainly got a wild thought OP and honestly, I did gave it a thought.

But I guess there would be no what ifs in the first place because look at the market now, there's just dozens of cryptocurrencies that exists and there will be more that will be created in the future. To me, that just mean that there's no chance that bitcoin will be the only cryptocurrency even if we turn back the time, not at all. People will always try to imitate what's new especially in-terms of technology with the hopes to make themselves some good clean profits.

It all started with just a harmless troll to gain attention from the people about bitcoin but it is already safe to say that the authorities are now tracking down who's behind this movement to make an example because the place where they've flashed the logo wasn't a random building nor a coincidence, it was the European Central Bank and I bet it was planned.

I got no doubts that many people have actually saw it and in the aftermath, many people will know it as that will surely make a headline for days.

There is indeed a huge chance that these two will match-up in the Eastern Conference and I believe that it will happen given that both of them sure do like they own the conference but there might be some slight changes this time as there are also teams like the Sixers who are going to challenge both teams mentioned above.

That's what makes it more interesting because we really don't know who will prevail in the long run, these standings we have now won't matter as when the playoffs commence, all of them will start from scratch and their strengths will be tested in a series game.

Regarding about the Canelo and Benavidez issue, here's what Canelo said recently:

Source: https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/03/canelo-reacts-to-benavidez-being-called-monster-its-not-the-same-to-have-me/

From what I've read in the stated article, it's clear enough to see that Canelo Alvarez is not really interested to fight Benavidez because from his words alone, he said that he already have fights queued up until next year including his rematch against Dmitry Bivol that is forecasted by his team to happen somewhere in September.

I'd say that these words is not really wise because even if he's not interested as Benavidez got no belts, he's been portraited as the one who is ducking away from latter. Even Hearn wanted to make that fight because it's probably much easier and less risky compared to Bivol as there might be no difference if the rematch will materialize.

This is the kind of fight we like, there's no discussion that is going on behind the curtains without letting the people know about it. I mean, we as the fans surely have the right to know the situation because that is why we really commend them for being transparent about it. So, what we have now is just a minor setback because Naoya Inoue has been injured and let's just wait for further announcement regarding the timeline of their fight.

Just thinking about it makes me excited to see Donaire to be the unified champion of bantamweight division or at least fight for the unification.

But to be real though, that requires a lot of time before Donaire even have the chance to be in that position and considering Donaire's situation, I'm afraid he can't really chase up to two fights per year just to secure those belts after defeating Santiago for the vacated belt. Needless to say, I'm not doubting him but that's the reality he's in.

I agree, this fight might earn big enough in the live gates as the tickets are already sold-out, so that means that all of it are already guaranteed on their side but in-terms of PPV buys? They might not break the record that they're aiming because we are now in the midst of modern era where almost people that wanted to see the fight got their own ways how to see it live. And talking about that, there's these streamers on the internet now that offers live streaming in-exchange of some donations of their service.

Only 5 games left for the Mavericks and they couldn't afford to make some mistakes anymore as it will result into a position that they never wanted. The easiest team to beat among those stated games are on the last game which is the San Antonio Spurs but they should still secure it even if the advantages are on them.

Earlier, they badly need that game to improve their standings in the West and I honestly thought that they can own it to bring the team another win because they performed well in the first half but the 76ers rallied in the 2nd half and performed much better as they chased the Mavericks lead until the gap grows wider up until the game ended.

Your cousin is only a victim of the situation, and not his being untrustworthy has put him to where he is right now. But the decision is still all yours, as earning money is not easy so you also have to protect your finances and not just easily lend it to someone who’s not capable of paying back. However, helping him without expecting some returns is certainly a noble deed. To think that he’s your cousin, and if you have the spare money, then lending him a portion of it might be good enough.

Your idea might be good but it won’t work for me. I still prefer to invest using a portion of my savings from my hard-earned money rather than selling my property just to invest. If I lose, then I will just save again and then invest. Unlike if you sell a portion of your land, if you lose as losing is quite inevitable from investing, then you will never regain that portion of land you have sold. Although I still see this as individual’s preference m, but I believe most of us here won’t agree selling a portion of property just to finance a risky investment.

It’s a basic rule not to post when you have no enough idea about it, otherwise you will end up making a low quality post which might be deleted later on. So avoid topics which you really don’t know. And in case for plagiarism, if you read and understand the rules in the forum, you will always avoid resorting into copy pasting and claim it as your own. Instead, always DYOR so you will develop a good explanation in every topic you chose to interfere with.

There are always inevitable failures not just tor crypto beginners, but even for those professional traders in the market. And the more we are exposed to losses, the more we are motivated to learn and move forward. However, the good thing about this is we become stronger and more confident to trade, knowing we had learned a lot from our mistakes and that help us as better traders eventually. So never be afraid to lose, as trading has reserved a lot of losses for beginners. Instead, move forward and learn from them as experiencing losses at first is better than to be exposed with quick profits as that will develop a wrong mindset that trading is all about profits, when definitely its not.

Everyone has its own target when to sell their bitcoin, but seeing someone experiencing from health issues, I guess one will be force to sell his bitcoin even when the market is still bearish. For me, that’s already part of being humanitarian, to help others when they are in need of assistance so badly. However, for the rest of the reasons listed by OP, I guess it’s everyone’s preference whether they will sell or not, as they can still continue to invest and hold without selling their bitcoin.

The only major disadvantage when you are a member in a trading group is when you start believing that trading is so easy that any trader can be so much profitable like the veteran traders in the group. So you did your own trade quickly without analyzing the market well, just imitate the same strategy that work on others, and then you end up trading at a loss. Not realizing that strategies that work for others might not work on you. The reason why we have to develop our personal trading strategy.
