^^
Conor being the same as he did when he fought Nick Diaz during UFC 202 by being a no show for the press conference.
But can't count the fight being called off. Remember he had fought injured before with an inflated foot.
So you never know since there is alot of money on the line and don't think the UFC has any contingency plan in place to have for him dodging this main event if he does infact completely calls it off last minute.

I reckon Conor before his fight in boxing against Floyd Mayweather was different from Conor after Floyd Mayweather. This is very much similar to Jesus' arrival hehehee, BC and AD.

In any case, uncle Dana sent his search team to find the lost Conor during the press conference and this is where they have found him heheeheh.



Also, more important news. We have 2 sexy fighting kittens hehehe, Andrea Lee vs. Montana dela Rosa. Which kitten will win?



so the fans were wrong in saying he was found in a gynecology hospital.  damn it i always fall to those rumors. conor vs chandler is going to happen after all. it's unbelievable to see conor back away when it comes to having a mic.


Hehehehhe if Conor was found in the gynecology hospital it will certainly be him who will do the gynecology check ups with his organic telescope on different women hehehe. In any case, it appears that when Conor vs. Chandler was announced, everyone was excited for Conor's return. This caused me to like Chandler to win. However, it presently appears that much of the fans hate Conor. The contrarian in me wants to witness Conor get the victory with a knockout with Conor's left power punch hehe.

I reckon this is the news where the hospital pictures came from? I very much do not believe he could have died. This might be clickbait.



Conor McGregor "could have died" after being hit by a car.

The 34-year-old mixed martial artist took to social media on Friday (27.01.23) to reveal he had been knocked off his bike by a car behind him - whose driver had been blinded by the sun - while riding through the Irish countryside but credited his knowledge of the full-contact combat sport based for saving his life.
He wrote on Instagram: "Got a bang of a car just now from behind. A sun trap, the driver couldn’t see me. Full speed straight through me. Thank you God, it wasn’t my time. Thank you wrestling and judo also. Having an awareness on the landing saved my life."

@zasad@. What type of accusations? The accusations from the users of Binance in this forum? Also, how much of these accusations were real compared to the total withdrawals that did not have problems? I have used Binance before and I have never encountered problems with them and I am quite certain much of the users of Binance receive their cryptocoins upon withdrawal because the exchange is not steal the funds of their customers. I am also quite certain the accusations are problems on KYC. This is a very common problem in the cryptospace.

what you think about that analisys?

This election will not be a fight of political issues and political platforms. This will be a fight of personalities because one of the candidates is a populist. Biden will need to create his own marketing tactic to convince the swing voters to vote for him because Trump's candidacy might have been strengthened because of his felony case. The people are presently sympathizing for him because they want drama, comedy, action hehehehe. The country's leaders cannot by trusted anymore and they only want to be entertained hehehehe.

@zasad@. It would be very headshaking if your argument is that a regulated mainstream media news outlet that values their business license to continue operating is publishing fake articles. However, if you are telling everyone that CZ stole $4.32 billion from his own customers to personally pay this to the American government then the burden of proof is to you.
If you lost 10000 dollars in a casino, does it mean that the casino owner stole that money from you?
Aren't prominent news outlets sad fakes?
They'd print it and then explain it away as a mistake.
I'm sharing my opinion, but I'm not going to prove that the crypto market is run by big manipulators.

I know there are fake news on the internet, however, how can this payment of $4.32 billion to the American government be fake news? The government would have denied that the case against Binance was not real? Does this imply that the moneylaundering case did not happen? Also, it would be much better to charge CZ with a case that he stole $4.32 billion from his customers like Sam Bamkrupt Fraud hehehehehe. This would certainly make him pay more than $4.32 billion and shutdown Binance as a scam. However, there was nothing. All of their customers can withdraw all of their money from the exchange and all of the funds are safu. Something similar cannot be said from FTX because real theft occured.

@ChiBitCTy. Wait for Netflix Sports hehehe. What might be on their roadmap is if Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a very successful and a very profitable event, I speculate they might open their platform for most of the major leagues in America and Europe. Apple had this on their roadmap for their tv product that they have cancelled.

It might also be a very good time to start practice on mock drafts on Yahoofantasy? I have been reading articles on top 10s in every offensive positions heheheh. I am still shaking my head for choosing massage Watson for my qb1 on our last draft.



PFF Quarterback Rankings: All 32 starters ahead of the 2024 NFL season

C.J. Stroud cracks the top 10: His yards, touchdowns and big-time throw numbers all placed in the top half of the league, and he had some clutch moments and drives that were well beyond his years.

Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence are on the cusp of elite: From Week 8 on, Love earned an elite 90.4 passing grade with 27 big-time throws and just 10 turnover-worthy plays. Meanwhile, Lawrence ranked in the top five in big-time throws (33) but struggled with turnover-worthy plays

207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Errol Spence vs Sebastian Fundora - Oct on: June 07, 2024, 03:48:07 AM

Agreed on there is a risk, however, I reckon this is very low risk for Errol Spence. It is also headshaking that everyone is creating storylines of doubt about Spence. Who was the only boxer who has won against him in his whole career? This is Bud Crawford who is presently the pound for pound best boxer in the world and everyone is speculating that this fight vs. Fundora might be very risky? This is a tune up fight for the former other king of welterweight.

Whenever a fighter takes the kind of beating that Spence did, they are never quite the same. This is on top of being badly injured in a car accident and having serious eye problems. Also, he is only fighting once every 12+ months. This level of inactivity could be detrimental. Fundora might be a weak champion, but Spence is far from being in his best form. It is always a challenge for Fundora’s opponents figuring out how to deal with his height. Even if he is easy to hit, you will have a hard time avoiding his counters, which may include elbows as we saw against Tim Tszyu.

I very much agree on the argument on Errol Spence not being in similar form and confidence after the type of loss that he has experienced against Bud. However, my argument is Bud Crawford is presently no.1 pound for pound in the sport of boxing, the other king of welterweight and he very much can win against Usyk if he has the size of a heavyweight boxer. Who is this Fundora before Tim Tszyu?

Also, it has been speculated that Spence was dehydrated and weak for the fight vs. Crawford. He will not have this problem vs. Fundora because this fight will be in super welterweight. This might be a knockout victory for Errol Spence.

209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Errol Spence vs Sebastian Fundora - Oct on: June 06, 2024, 02:20:04 AM

Errol is almost as soft as Devin Haney being exposed, all the time in their career they were just fighting low-level boxers playing numbers for their boxing records but when they are matched to someone just right where their skillset level, they fold in the ring.

Fundora is also the same but after fighting Tszyu, he proved himself. I think Fundora will battle Spence to the ground.

It was speculated that the reason why Errol Spence did not have a strong fight vs. Bud Crawford is because Errol is very much dehydrated in welterweight. He is becoming very heavy for this weight division already. Also, similar to what @bisdak40 has mentioned, Fundora is not a very good boxer. This fight for Errol is the tune up fight that he needs hehe. However, a tune up fight with a championship hehehehehe.

A risk that is worth taking, I think this is what Spence is thinking in this fight. And for me, we can compare this to Tank fighting Mario Barrios for a belt at 140 lbs. So I will take a word from you, this could be a "scam" as Spence has a great chance to win this fight.

In paper it looks good for Fundora as he won against Tim Tszyu, however, if not for the accidental cut, it could be a different outcome and Tim could have won the fight. And another factor is that they know that Fundora just came from that messy fight and so he might not have recovered yet.

There might be no risk for Errol Spence for this fight. He might be thinking why is he very much lucky to be given a tune up fight but with a championship hehehehe. It is Tim Tszyu who has made a mistake on choosing Vergil Ortiz for his next fight after an upset loss heheheheh. Tszyu might lose again. He should have activated for immediate rematch and win back his WBO super welterweight championship.

There is still a risk though, what if Fundora beat him? he might consider retiring already.  As for Tszyu, very bad news, Bitter blow for Aussie boxing star Tim Tszyu as doctor orders next fight be scrapped.

So everything is up to Spence now, he was given this opportunity to fight for a world title and hopefully he won't waste it so that we can still the rematch between him and Crawford at 54 when they are champions, I think that is the plan.


Agreed on there is a risk, however, I reckon this is very low risk for Errol Spence. It is also headshaking that everyone is creating storylines of doubt about Spence.

210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: June 06, 2024, 01:54:56 AM
I predict that the next storyline will be Ryan and his team will declare that there is a conspiracy against him and they will blame the corruptness of the people behind the sport of boxing. However, it would also not be very shocking if this was the truth because, yes, the corruptness of the people behind the sport of boxing heehhehe.

@Kemarit. Clearly that is not brown stains that went out from his anus. However, if this is true then Devin Haney should wear dark brown boxing shorts for their rematch hehe.

@BALIK. I thank you for the update.

@legiteum. You are also implying that if there is a big dump occurrence on markets before the presidential elections on November, this will cause voters from the cryptospace might remove their support for Joe Biden? This implies that it is safe to speculate that the Biden administration will very much do everything to stop a market dump under his administration. However, how good is the economy and can they do this until November? Pump the campaign, sell the election hehehehee.

It was Binance Holdings Ltd. that paid for the fine of $4.3 billion.



Binance Holdings Ltd. will pay $4.3 billion after a judge approved a plea deal that levies one of the largest criminal penalties in US history against the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange.

Source https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-23/binance-4-3-billion-payment-in-us-plea-deal-approved-by-judge



Where did they get the money for this? According to this article, the revenue of Binance was $5.5 billion for 2020, $20 billion for 2021 and $12 billion for 2022. I speculate that 2023 might be more than $5 billion.

https://www.businessofapps.com/data/binance-statistics/

In any case, it would be difficult to discuss if you are telling me something is real, however, you have no proof. I reckon CZ is an alien from outerspace who began investing in bitcoin on 2010 but I have no proof.
213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 05, 2024, 05:09:01 AM
Might be interesting to see Teo Lopez vs Ryan Garcia as the center piece of the fight. And how do you think the match in this fight besides the fighter that I mentioned?

I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan is the heavy favorite if this fight happens. This is one of the fights I would like to see this year—two warriors going against each other. I'm sure it will end with a knockout from either boxer, but I would always back Ryan to win here as I'm impressed with his performance against Haney. I'm not sure if Teo is quick enough to negate Ryan's reach advantage, which I'm sure Ryan will use to prevent Teo's attacks and to dominate the fight.

It certainly will be very head scratching if Ryan Garcia is the heavy favorite against Teo Lopez. If he will be chosen by the oddsmakers as the favorite, it will be a small favorite, I reckon. I am very much aware that Ryan won vs. Devin Haney, however, this might imply more that Devin Haney might not be as good as the hype than King Ry is a very good boxer. If you tell me that I am wrong, watch Devin Haney vs. Loma. I speculate Teo will be the favorite for this fight.

Would I be mistaken to predict that the 49ers will win a superbowl before 2027? Their qb is improving, Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey are on the peak of their careers, Brandon Aiyuk also improving and they have the best defensive team in the NFL. 49ers might play in the superbowl on 2025 against another team. I will shake my head if Reid, Mahomes, Kelce and Swift will do this again as underdogs.



Christian McCaffrey triple-stamped his double stamp atop the running back market.

The San Francisco 49ers and the reigning Offensive Player of the Year agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $19 million per year, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday, per a source informed of the deal. The team later announced McCaffrey's extension.

Given his importance to the Niners' deep postseason runs -- and the fact that the club was essentially getting a deal with the Panthers having paid the bonus money -- CMC was in line for a new pact this offseason. The deal keeps him under contract until 2027, when he'll be 31, and provides security for the back.

According to mainstream financial news media, Trump and Elon are discussing about policies on the cryptospace very much similar to Bitcoin Magazine's CEO David Bailey who is also discussing cryptospace policies with Trump.

We cannot be quite certain if this will change them to become procrypto, however, I will argue again that I will always be a skeptic unless an administration will do these 4 changes.

1. They will stop their cases against Uniswap and Coinbase.
2. The SEC will create clear guidelines in what is an illegal security and what is a commodity.
3. They create new KYC rules because their old rules have been difficult for the people in the cryptospace.
4. They stop treating the Tornado Cash founders and other developers of privacy software very much like criminals.



Elon Musk and Donald Trump are discussing cryptocurrency policy as the former president increasingly highlights Bitcoin and other digital assets on the campaign trail as a way to reach new voters, according to a person familiar with the talks.

Also, it was Binance that paid for the $4.32 billion penalty to the American government. CZ's personal fine was less than 3% of $4.32 billion that Binance has paid.

@STT. I very much agree which I speculate that the sportsbooks and prediction markets offers to not be the correct odds. The present odds of 1.70 is an overestimation of Trump's victory, I reckon. The news media outlets presently also appear to be overestimating Trumps odds on winning on November. This is certainly very head shaking. They reporting this with the assumption that the prediction market on Polymarket us a source of truth.

This is not fud, however, the cryptonews media is starting to create a storyline that Michael Saylor might not anymore be a bitcoin maximalist in his arguments. Also, the Saylor jerkers who ride Saylor's sausage in the community might also be disappointed because it appears that he is admitting that there might be a second best heheheeh.



There Is a Second Best: Bitcoin Bull Michael Saylor Softens on Ethereum

For years, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor refrained from acknowledging the existence of such a thing as the “crypto industry.” To him, there was Bitcoin—an asset he likened to the gold of our time—and then thousands of cheap imitators hardly worth mentioning.  

“There is no second best,” the entrepreneur—who may personally own more than one billion dollars worth of BTC—was known to say.

That is, at least, until now.

It appears that the shocking, eleventh-hour approval of spot Ethereum ETFs two weeks ago has caused the Bitcoin maximalist to shift his stance on crypto—or at the very least, to adjust his political calculus.

Now, the Ethereum ETF approval—which some industry analysts suggest means that Ethereum cannot be considered a security—appears to have changed his views on the viability of crypto as an industry bigger than just Bitcoin.

"I think right now the best expectation is [that] the crypto asset class will be legitimized,” Saylor said.

“I think that we are politically much more powerful [when] supported by the entire crypto industry,” Saylor said. “They obviously have a lot of political power, a lot of users.”

It appears that after everyone's negative attitude on Ordinals in the forum, which I reckon this forum is also a big influencer on the whole bitcoin community, the market has still grown and this might also imply that there is an increasing number of NFT holders who use the bitcoin blockchain. Why is this increasing if bitcoiners hate NFTs on bitcoin? Who are these NFT holders? Are they new users? Are NFTs their first introduction on bitcoin?



In the first week of June 2024, data revealed that the Bitcoin blockchain generated $3.82 billion from NFT sales. Although NFTs on Bitcoin were previously available through technologies like Counterparty, the introduction of Ordinal inscriptions has significantly increased the popularity of BTC-based NFTs, even amid a general decline in the digital collectibles market. The $3.82 billion has positioned BTC within the top five blockchains for NFT sales, securing the fourth spot just below the Ronin chain.

@zasad. You can argue that CZ is more nimble than Sam Bankman Fried and people may agree or disagree. However, that is not applicable in this argument. They are different cases where on CZ's case, they American government can create a deal with CZ. On Sam Bankman Fried's case, it is difficult to make a similar deal because Sam Bankman Fried committed fraud, a higher type of crime according to US law.
