Bivol didn't got his money until now? That's harsh! The government should stop interfering from the activities in the sports industry because the people are trying to make a living while putting their lives at stake, Bivol shouldn't be an exemption even if he's a Russian boxer. Unfortunately, I think Bivol will likely receive his paycheck from that fight when the war cools down because until now there's still some conflict going on in Eastern Ukraine. I guess that's exactly the reason why the Bivol-Ramirez fight will take place in the Middle East.
They really need to stay out of it and let the Boxer enjoy his earnings but since huge money is involved, they won't let him slide with it. It's really hard when it comes to money because everyone seems interested in it and they want to get some of it. Poor guy, they should fix everything and don't let it be like that again before the fight because, for the boxers, chances like this are rare because they only fight a few times in a year and sometimes they don't get the same high payments before simply because they're fighting different opponents most of the time. Maybe the US authorities wanted Bivol's purse paid in tranches. But I still believe that Bivol will get paid without deductions. And Eddie Hearn can help him with it. I'm also glad that this fight venue is in the United Arab Emirates. It will be neutral and Eddie Hearn actually has more influence in the Middle East than Zurdo and his promoter Oscar Dela Hoya. I'm not sure if Hearns and Dela Hoya are already on good terms after the Canelo drama earlier but in the fight conference I only saw Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez who represented Zurdo while Hearn was there for Bivol. Or maybe Bivol will just get his paycheck if the war is finished, although that could take time but I really hope that Bivol could hold what is his even before the war ends because these boxers aren't really connected to it, they are just too unfortunate that they are Russian that is why they are affected in this conflict because of the US's. Same here, I'm glad to know that the fight will happen in Abu Dhabi where there's no conflict no matter what race you are, organizers might get more money from the viewing public in the Middle East compared to USA. 1 month more before we can witness this epic fight! |

Floyd won another exhibition match in Japan, The 45-year-old Mayweather dropped Asakura just before the bell sounded to end the second round. He tried to get up, but the southpaw couldn’t quite beat referee Kenny Bayless’ count before it reached 10.
Mayweather won in the main event of a Rizin pay-per-view show at Saitama Super Arena. https://www.boxingscene.com/floyd-mayweather-drops-stops-mikuru-asakura-end-2nd-round-exhibition--169302So another mismatch fight for Floyd and another easy money for him as he knock out Asakura in the second round. Take note that Manny is amongst the crowd though, so maybe after his match against a South korean and then against his former sparring partner, he might go to Japan as well like Floyd and fight. Of course it's a mismatch  I mean, I seriously don't think that Floyd Mayweather would fight someone who have a fair chance in beating the undefeated Floyd. He may say that he's willing to put his record on the line but we already know the truth behind that. Hopefully we can see another Pacquiao-Mayweather fight even if it's just an exhibition fight, people would surely love that if that's going to happen soon. Even if it's just an exhibition fight these two cannot hide their competitiveness, so we might see classic fight. I'm rooting for it! Even it is only an exhibition fight, fans will surely love to see both legends about the ring. The chance, though, is slim knowing how Mayweather will give his excuses. If ever, just in case that the wind will move in the right direction, maybe a billion of dollars may change his mind. I don't know but Mayweather can easily bank money from many exhibitions that he might take. He won't be bothering risking his clean record just to make some amount facing Pacquiao in an exhibition fight. People won't bother paying expensive tickets and PPV because seeing Mayweather and Pacquiao sharing a ring for the second time is not a sight that we always see, surely a fight like that will generate and amass millions of dollars, and might be on top of the list again when it comes to most generated revenue. Although, I believe that Mayweather will still take that 60% cut and won't settle lower than that. I don't even recall that there's a fight where he settled less whether if it's an exhibition or professional fight. |

I believe everybody has their worst day in gambling especially if you started gambling early maybe in your teenage age. My worst day was when I used my school fees to gamble because I thought I will make more money to take care of some of my needs in school. At the beginning I was making profit for 2hrs,I was carried away with the anxiety of winning but later the game turned round and I was losing and losing,I didn't quit hoping I will recover my lost. Before I knew it I was left with 10% of the money I started with, I couldn't just quit the game then because I still feel I will start winning again but luck failed me and I got drained of all I have on me.
Two weeks later it was announced in school that we only had one more week left for closure of school fees payment, I tried borrowing, seek for help everywhere but nobody could help me with the money. This was how I couldn't pay my fee for that semester and went home with carry overs after the end of the semester as I was not allowed to write some exams.
How about you do you had a worst day on gambling that you will never forget ?Did it affect an aspect of your life and how ?
I never had any worse or extreme experience of gambling, it is just normal loss and normal wins. I have never won big and I have never lost big, this is because I gamble moderately. The reason why I gamble moderately and responsibly is because the environment and family I grew up, it is a sin to gamble. Even as I am now old enough to gamble and have relocated from my parents, I still have that feeling of not doing the right thing when I gamble and that is why I only do it for fun. That's so good for you! Not all people have that kind of mindset because I admit that I have had my share of worst days in gambling in the past years as aside from luck, I'm also struggling to limit myself because I'm thinking that I should get what I lost or greed takes the lead that's why I eventually lost more. Gladly, I managed to overcome those habits and I only gamble rarely nowadays. |

I have read news that the Celtics players were caught off guard about Ime Udoka's case. Majority of them found the news in twitter like Jayson Tatum and so they are confused.
And then they are talking about how excited they are to come back this new season to do it all over again and duplicate what they have accomplished - go to the finals. But it seems that the players are affected by it and they are taking about the 'process', as they will be coach by Joe Mazzulla.
Well, they have no choice but to accept the reality, no more Udoka this season and probably the succeeding seasons as well, but they have a job to do, it's an unfinish job, they reach the NBA finals, it's time for them to win this time. There's plenty of time to make the adjustment, the current coach is the assistant, so I'm pretty sure he is very much aware of the system and he just need to implement it, we were impressed by Udoka's performance last season, but he made a big mistake, so he has to face the consequences. I also believe that assistant coach can work it out since he was there when they play the entire last season, adjustment wise they don't have a lot unless the new coach has a new approach. But to my understanding, Brad Stevens will be there for them. He knows how to deal with this and even the new head coach will takeover. The final decision will still need to work with him. Boston almost made it, just a step away to win a title, but GSW is really inspired not willing to give it up yet. Yes, Joe Mazzulla was there but Udoka was the mastermind and the one who is calling the shots why the Celtics reached that far, they almost got a chance but it's just that the Warriors are more capable and much more experienced. I'm thinking that Mazzulla and the management will always keep in touch with Udoka so that he can still call the shots behind the scenes because they cannot deny that they still need him. Rumors says that the Celtics are now finding a new head coach but I seriously think that it's not true. The franchise will just sit and wait until the suspension ends because Ime Udoka is already proven. |

I didn't expect the distance of the odds. I thought neither Spence nor Crawford will be the Favorites, the odds for them is just close.
Crawford at 1.6 over Spence at 2.1 just shows that bookies looked at the former as Heavy Favorites and not just the usual Favorites.
It's not even a trap to consider but either way, I will still pick Spence to win this match.
I think when the date get closer until the fight will happen, Spence odds will be higher since many people will bet Crawford. Crawford currently become top 3 pound for pound while Spence is on top 4, though it's close, but a difference is still different. I'll watch the odds, if the odds is really small of Crawford, I wouldn't bet him since it doesn't worth for the risk. I believe there's will be a rematch sooner or later regardless who's win here. Too early to make some bets because both odds aren't that appealing yet, and it's not yet tempting me to place some bets. The date of the fight is not yet final as we are still waiting for some finals details regarding this fight, so in any case, the odds will change up until the day of the fight. And expect that there will be rematch too, it's hard seeing an undisputed fight without a rematch from the defeated camp. |

Well, it's not new anymore that people wanted some spices before the actual fight to somehow make the fight more interesting. I know Zurdo is one of a kind but he needs to prove himself first against Bivol before starts boasting and saying lines like that. If that is what he believes, then we just have to let it that way. Zurdo might be boasting but actually, he won't have the guts to say things like that if he's not sure about it. Might be because of his perfect record, he thinks achieving it is really difficult although he's correct on that regardless of the level of popularity of those he fought before. Against Bivol, this might be the biggest fight of his career that's why he is pumped up. Let's wait if his talks is not just about talk. Well, if Bivol hasn't fought Canelo earlier then this will be a normal fight for Zurdo. Golden Boy Promotions would be the sole promoter and there is a possibility that they will rob Bivol of a victory if there are rounds that are a little close. Back to reality, I hope both fighters are in their best condition. I love the neutral venue which is beneficial to the defending champion. I know Bivol is in love with boxing technique but I would love to see knockdowns and knockouts. Fortunately, that didn't happen because I know Bivol already heard the issues that Canelo have the judges in his back in case he needed an extra stretch. Might be the reason why Bivol made the fight his project to win the almost all rounds as he could, so that Canelo can't have that help that he needed. It was so evident that Bivol won't be defeated in that fight especially when Canelo gave signs of frustrations because he knew that in that specific fight he will be defeated. As for this fight, I'm expecting an all-out war between the two undefeated boxer in light-heavy because both of them are capable in receiving and giving heavy blows that could result in KO or TKO. Although Bivol is good and have a good IQ in the ring, I still expect that Zurdo will have some aces in his sleeve that will surprise the defending champion. Also, we cannot discount Zurdo's KO ratio that is almost 70%. |

The current number of Altcoins is more than 21K, this is like a jokes because of a very large amount, but if we sort it will be found that more than 50% have a very small transaction volume or less than $ 10k per day, this is a sign that more cryptocurrencies are dead.
That is a fact! There are so many cryptocurrencies that exist in the market today but not all of them can be profitable or have any value/utilities at all, same reason why most coins won't survive long enough. I guess there's only a handful of coins that can survive much longer and if we'll give it some figure then it might be only 30%-35%. Still best to do some research first on the top altcoins in the recent years because that's safer rather than experimenting on random coins that you don't know. |

In my opinion, the rosters of the Clippers, Wolves, and Cavs look promising.
These three teams supported their squads well. But the strongest among them are the Clippers as we know. I don't think Minnesota and Cavaliers will have much of a chance in the NBA finals. Because they don't have a real all-star player on their team. Like Kawhi Leonard. With a healthy Kawhi, I also believe that Clippers will have a good chance of making their way to the next round, just need another good run and bring the team back to winning passion. They almost made it last season even both Kawhi and PG are resting, the role players are good and with the stars playing around the winning chance is much expected. Plus, adding John Wall, another offensive player, it is really exciting how the team will perform in this upcoming season. Not only the next round but a shot of winning the NBA championship. I think with Kawhi, the Clippers ca defeat the Warriors as he has done that before, with the Raptors hea beat the Warriors and has become a champion, when he was still with the Spurs, they almost did it if he was not injured and was out in the series, Zaza Pachulia did a dirty job on him. The Clippers chances to play at the Finals this season have gradually increased because their two superstars are now back, I believe they won't have that much struggle as long as they can maintain being healthy because the role players will support their superstars and truth is they can still bring the team to a win even if their superstars are resting or not around. |

Here is the top 10 Cryptos with the highest potential to grow, can you suggest which is the game changer in 2023?? 1. Ethereum 2. Polygon 3. Solana 4. Cardano 5. ApeCoin 6. Tron 7. Sandbox 8. Chainlink 9. Shiba Inu 10. Cosmos In my wallet majority of the share holding by Solana and ApeCoin does it be a good choice?   The coins listed here are all very popular and at one time of very good quality.If the market grows, these coins will surely grow with the growth of the market.Every coin is very good. From my opinion I would say if the market goes up all the coins will go up at the same rate and there are some coins that will go up a bit more.But these coins will increase a lot if the market is good. These coins will definitely have a brighter future if the market becomes stable and show progress. But checking on each of them, I still think ethereum has its edge over the others since it has gained a lot of trust already from its users because of its reliable smart network and mostly, those who end up competing like ethereum, they are mostly like clones from ethereum. |

The first time that I invested in BTC I used money that's not mine, I borrowed 150$ and invested in BTC years ago (2017) I never knew what halving was all about or even bull market then the market started appreciating, I sold around April 2017, yea too soon.
Within that time range, I'm sure you bought at less than a thousand dollar. And yes, it was selling too soon. I'm sure you kicked yourself real hard when you saw that price continued up north after you sold off. Anyway, for me the idea of borrowing to invest/trade is likened to borrowing to finance a project. I really don't see it as something that can't be done when we look at it in deeper perspective. There’s no wrong actually from borrowing money as long as you intend to use it for bigger and brighter purposes. And it’s definitely most of the big time investors are doing so that give them more opportunities to gain and earn. However, as long as you never invest for a wrong investment or that has a red flag, then your borrowed money won’t be compromised. |

$68k within 4 years is a safe bet.. its like saying tomorrow the sun will rise
though its not pushing any boundaries of going to exaggerated amounts. so its not like he is suggest a foolish pump and dump this year
in essence its no news.. and requires no drama
Yeah it’s more on playing safe. But 4 years I think is too long as bitcoin could reach another all time high even next year as long as the market also cooperate. With consistent positive news that may hit the crypto market and from the support of big institutional investors, bitcoin will not find it hard to surge again and skyrocket until it reaches a new height. |

My question is: Does education guarantee a job.
Answer: No
Agree that education (especially at school) will not guarantee getting a job but through education young people are being prepared to live a good life when they enter the world of work, in developing countries without a certificate you will find it increasingly difficult to compete for work so education needed. What must be changed is that the education curriculum in schools does not only focus on knowledge that is not relevant to the world of work in the future but also teach skills. True. Students have been more observed these days that they are more focused on gaining knowledge when in fact skills are more important. That is why a lot of educated government officials have become wise and brilliant that they end up creating wide corruption that they greatly benefited while leaving the people suffering. However, Education is very essential as it could offer a successful life in the future but I don’t see it a guarantee of getting jobs not unless you exerted extra efforts on it. |

When I was a newbie especially at trading, then I really wasn't ready when the market turned down. My main reason is because the funds I use are funds that I still need for other needs, so that every time the feeling of panic decreases, it's always there.
But over time, my mindset changed and my trading strategy changed so I can say I'm ready for any consequences. This is not really available to users who are just learning to trade and invest, but the experience of a failure has taught us to have a good knowledge of self-control. Not by borrowing money for trading, it can increase the risk of failure in the end.
No one gets prepared in trading either mentally or emotionally unless you start experiencing losses from it which will eventually build more strength and confidence in you as a trader. The more you create failures and losses in trading, the more you become motivated to learn and grow in trading. However, learning in trading from scratch is good but it will be an edge if you have prior knowledge from trading so you can prepare for it mentally or emotionally. |

It depends on who you owe, if the payment isn't a haste thing or let say you are given enough time to pay back then you can DCA in your favourite coins and pay back your debt slowly.
no matter how close the lender is to the borrower investing in a risky asset with a loaned fund is the worst risk to take. As it stands no one can accurately tell what direction Bitcoin will take at any moment and what if even applying DCA price keeps plunging and the lender decides to demand for the fund with a matter of urgency. Paying back is best even if it means paying gradually True. Paying your debt should always be prioritize first before the lender call your attention and demand an immediate payment. It is always said and even proven that money from loans should not be used to invest since there are no guaranteed profits waiting ahead. The reason why you should save first your own money so that if your investment does not work, you will never have to struggle financially and emotionally. |

The price of all the coins are highly related to the price of bitcoin and whenever the worth of bitcoin become low so directly the other coins also become in dip. If bitcoin price goes up so all the other coins also enhance and elevated in its worth. So whenever the price become low select any coin wisely for investment and do not make trading or investment if the cost is highest on its peak.
The whole crypto coins in the market are said to be much dependent on the movement of bitcoin. Whatever the price condition of bitcoin, altcoins also follow. It is because bitcoin is the only crypto that drives the whole crypto market system, if it’s bullish then altcoins will also follow a bullish price, and if bitcoin experience it’s dip and drops it’s price suddenly, altcoins will also struggle and stay in a low value. |

The best times to buy bitcoin is the time of the bear market, bitcoin during its history went through a lot of fluctuations and people regretted a lot because they did not buy at low prices in those times, the same thing will happen now those who wait for the bitcoin to fall more, we may regret because they missed a great opportunity on themselves to buy bitcoin at low prices. The bull market is coming inevitably so everyone should take advantage of this opportunity now.
But newbies seem not to realize that there are opportunities waiting when bear season comes. Instead, they always want to see bitcoin surging its price first then they will start to invest in it. And when they see the price falling, they will start to panic and sell bitcoin. That’s how they lose their investments. Not realizing, that the best to enter in the market is when bitcoin is very cheap in price so we can maximize our buying purchase and yield huge returns in the future. |

3. unrealistic expectations
Don't get manipulated by profits you see online. 100k profits on a trading account or a sport car. you will never achieve that with your $1000 account. understand that and be real with you.
These influencers that are flexing their profits or an individual are showing their profits. But they don't want people to know their losses, I guess a wise person would only believe that person if they're honest with everything which includes the losses. But, for individuals, it's better not to share any details of what they do especially in profit because they won't know who's trying to catch them personally with those flexing and it could go wrong. This becomes the trend nowadays showing huge profits not to brag but to inspire, but only newbies fall for this. Because the real fact is, no one gets instant huge profits just by a month or two, it always follow a process and will only create a good result after years of hardwork and perseverance. And to make it clear, you won’t make a very large amount of profits if you only spend just a little amount of capital. |

I don't think Bivol cares much about the money. Former Soviet fighters are more glory hunters rather than money. Bivol already rejected Canelo's offer for the undisputed titles at super-middleweight. Bivol is a small light-heavyweight and I believe he can make the super-middleweight limit with no difficulty. But he opted to stay at 175 and openly mentioned that he wanted to fight 3-belt champion Beterbiev for the undisputed championships.
No one fights for charity. Bivol is putting so much time and effort in to this, and he deserves a decent payout. If I am not mistaken, he is yet to receive any payment for his win against Canelo. Bivol is a Russian citizen, and there is a blanket ban on wired bank transactions to Russian citizens from the United States. The organizers should have taken care of this, but I guess they never thought that Bivol would win the fight. It is not the question of whether Bivol cares about the money or not. He deserves that amount and it should be credited without much delay. Yes, we are in the modern era of boxing, every boxer now goes for the money. And it's just just to hear that Bivol hasn't received the money that he deserved after winning against Canelo. They should have done something by now that they have made the money to Bivol's part. And so the next fight, in cases he won against Ramirez, everything should be settled already. Something that Bivol's camps need to make sure by now before this fight against Zurdo, like what you all mentioned, it's no longer the old day where fighters are more to fame, nowadays, after the success of those prime legends like Mayweather and Pacquiao, it's more on the money side, fighters are willing to do everything to enjoy the luxury of being the champ and having lots of money to enjoy life. And I'm pretty sure Bivol also loves to enjoy that privilege after beating Alvarez and put his name at the top. On his upcoming fight, he might collect more money now and if he will win the chance of making more once Alvarez calls for the rematch. Bivol didn't got his money until now? That's harsh! The government should stop interfering from the activities in the sports industry because the people are trying to make a living while putting their lives at stake, Bivol shouldn't be an exemption even if he's a Russian boxer. Unfortunately, I think Bivol will likely receive his paycheck from that fight when the war cools down because until now there's still some conflict going on in Eastern Ukraine. I guess that's exactly the reason why the Bivol-Ramirez fight will take place in the Middle East. |

The way PBC is treating Crawford, I don't they will be able to sign him if he beats Spence except for a 1 or 2 fights deal that would guarantee a title shot against undisputed super middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. After that, I think he is headed to DAZN.
As a knowledgeable in boxing, do you think that regardless of who will win on this match between Spence and Crawford, they will face Jermell Charlo next at the super middleweight? Or a rematch is bound to happen first? I really like that this fight between Spence and Crawford should happen now to now end the issues of who's the best in the Welterweight and finally will move on to their next plan. EDIT: I saw this on the news, "Coppinger did note the contract has not yet been signed by Crawford or Spence as their lawyers "clean up" some of the legal language in the agreement.
Any ideas or thoughts on what are those legal languages on the agreement that they need to clean? There are rumors that there is a rematch clause. The way things are happening, it looks like Bud is sacrificing a lot just to make this fight become a reality. It is possible that the rematch clause is only given to Spence probably because he's the one prolonging this fight for many years. Time is not on Bud's side, he's nearly a year inactive and is already 35 years old, he needs to give in to nearly all of Spence's demands if he really wanted to become undisputed at welterweight before moving up to super welterweight. And Bud is currently without a promoter and a network after leaving Top Rank, so expect PBC and Showtime or Fox a little biased towards their fighter Spence. If there is a rematch clause, then a rematch should happen first because undisputed Charlo is 7 pounds north. Charlo, Tank, Spence, and AB used to be very good friends, although there was a fallout between Tank and AB, I believe Jermell and Spence are still very good friends. But even if they are very close friends, I believe Charlo vs Spence is more doable than Charlo vs Bud. Spence already mentioned moving up in weight in the last few years although he never mentioned Charlo's name Currently, all the belts at 154 are owned by his close friend. I think it was Jermell (or maybe Spence) in an interview that mentioned that he is willing to fight his dear friend when the price is right. And the fact that Charlo and Spence are with PBC then it is more doable if both are serious. Whereas Jermell Charlo already mentioned that he will not give Bud a free automatic shot at the 154 undisputed belts. He wants Bud to climb the rankings and earned his shot at the division. Although a WBO champion has the right to request to fight the other WBO champions in different divisions. This means Bud as the current WBO welterweight champion can actually activate his right to fight Charlo at 154. If Bud beats Spence pretty easily, I believe Charlo will vacate his WBO belt at 154 or maybe vacate all the belts at 154 and move up to 160. A nice response you have there. Detailed, completed, and you also include your speculations. Another question, I believed when there's a rematch clause, it's not mandatory but optional. Am I right? From what I see, if Spence will win this match, he won't go for a rematch. What if that really happened? Can Bud force him for a rematch? According to the rematch clause, the winner of this current match will have a big slice of pizza on the rematch. In this match, Spence has the big slice. If he will won this match, it seems no changes after all on his purse split on the rematch. No big reason for him to fight Bud in a rematch. Thoughts? I've looked up on it and indeed there's a rematch clause in their verbal agreement (contract and deal haven't signed yet as it's still prepared by respective camp's lawyer), so that means that it's optional, the defeated boxer may or may not choose to activate it and may it Spence or Crawford. Surely, Crawford's side chose to set some safety precautions because if Spence will win, we already know that Spence will likely avoid a rematch at all cost. According to the rematch clause, the winner of this current match will have a big slice of pizza on the rematch. In this match, Spence has the big slice. If he will won this match, it seems no changes after all on his purse split on the rematch. No big reason for him to fight Bud in a rematch. Thoughts? Yes, the winner will have the bigger slice in the rematch, so maybe if Spence will win then I guess that makes Crawford getting the same cut or lower as 30 percent and if it's the latter, then for sure, Crawford will grab that 60 percent. Just a thought. |
