Spence vs. Crawford happening “Further down the future” says Floyd Mayweather Jr

If you guys remembered, Mayweather Jr. said way back in June or July if I'm not mistaken that he will be the one who will announce first if this fight will go to materialize for real and official. Unfortunately, Mayweather Jr. told the public bad news saying that the Errol Spence Jr vs. Terence Crawford fight won’t happen until "further down the future".

It's now safe for me to assume that this fight will not happen this year. So unfortunate.

I agree with you, I also remember that Floyd Mayweather have actually said that he will be one of the first few people to break the news for the public's knowledge once the deal is already done for sure and according to the article you shared this fight is no longer possible this year because of the issues pertaining to the fight. I couldn't help but to think and bother that there's indeed someone who is pulling the strings behind to delay the fight, and for me this is not about the money anymore, it's more on legacy as both of them are still undefeated up to this point.

These are only pure opinions and observations of Floyd Mayweather. And he wants his name to continue being significant in the world of boxing. He knows nothin' on the inside. What he knows? He ain't the manager and promoter of Crawford and Spence. He is not part of the dialogue between the two camps. What is his right to announce the fight first? We already read the news earlier that fight ain't happening this year.

What I understand is Crawford gets a share from net income. Followers of PBC are putting now the blame on Crawford for wanting Al Haymon to ask his permission for the expenses and on top of that for wanting to see the books.

What I know is that Mayweather is somehow part of their dialogue because Bud Crawford doesn't know the business side of boxing, he is just there to help Crawford that is why he's that confident to say that he will be the one of the first few people to break the news regarding this undisputed fight. Also, Mayweather is so vocal that he is interested to sign Crawford once the latter is done with Bob Arum of the Top Rank, this might be the clue. Although I cannot find any solid proof that Mayweather is indeed temporarily standing as a promoter of Bud but I'm positive that I've read somewhere that he's helping Crawford on this fight.

......
And I have seen bad rumors about a trade too.
Draymond and Wiseman to Atlanta Hawks for Capela and John Collins
That would be a good move for the Warriors management after the incident. I mean the matter may have been contained for now but I doubt this would be forgotten. It may escalate at a later time so I don't think it's ideal to keep them together.

Draymond may be a valuable asset to the team but he's the most replaceable out of the three core.

A good move to avoid a possible altercation in the future but when it comes to their strength, trading Green doesn't benefit the team because they won't be having a reliable center anymore. Joe Lacob and Bob Myers also spoke about the altercation, they are just considering to give a Green a suspension and not a trade.

Quote
Draymond may be a valuable asset to the team but he's the most replaceable out of the three core.

Because he is the oldest and his age figure might affect the team but as I said, the franchise is not looking to trade him without getting a reliable replacement, so it's safe to assume that he will stay remain a Warrior for now.
2523  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Crash Incoming? on: October 09, 2022, 05:18:32 PM
The bearish market is almost a year to make a long storm so that it makes many altcoins dead, of course this is a heavy ordeal for developers and investors must always see the latest information so as not to be too losing.
Altcoins are not dead yet but it has become zombie. I meant it's not dead nor alive. Altcoins are still trading in the market even with zero volume for its daily trade, that means volume can come anytime. The crypto crash has been ruining everything in the market. it takes only a few weeks to make the big coin like luna to be dead. The power of bearish market is unbelievable.

But that doesn't mean that it's the end for the altcoins, they will bounce back and just like what you said, altcoins are not yet dead but it's hard to determine when they will start to rally as it's been almost a year already since the bear market started. Not a good year for beginners as most of them lost interest because of this storm but it is a good year for the veterans to accumulate more coins while it's still cheap.

May nakakita na ba sa inyo dito sa video kung saan ay sinuntok ni Draymond Green si Jordan Poole?

Grabe yon ahh, black-eye agad si Poole doon, laki pa naman ni Green sa kanya hehe.

At ang balita ay iti-trade na raw ng Warriors si Green dahil sa aksidenting iyon at isa pa ay hindi rin daw kaya ng Warrior's management yong hinihingi ng contract extension ni Green.

Balik tayo kay Poole, mukhang may attitude tong bata na to dahil hindi lang naman si Green yong may galit sa kanya, may napanoon akong video sa FB na pinaparinggan ni Klay Thompson si Poole during one of his interviews in their Japan games.

Oo kabayan, malabong hindi natin makikita ang video at issue ngayon dahil laman yan ngayon ng balita. Pero tingin ko ay rumor lang yung bali-balita na iti-trade ng Warriors si Green sa Atlanta Hawks, may nakikita naman akong mock trades hinggil dyan pero palagay ko talaga ay makakakuha parin sya ng extension pero yun nga lang hindi max contract, baka 2 years lang kasi medyo may edad narin.

Ang mas kailangan nila ngayon ay kausapin si Jordan Poole dahil parang lumalaki na yata ang ulo dahil isa sya sa nagpanalo ng Warriors last season, tama naman sya na may naitulong sya pero hindi na tama kung halos lahat nalang ay magiging kaaway nya sa Warriors.

I think he is now ready to fight a real champion as he already have two tune up fights where he won. Though it's a real fight but we know his opponents are not on his level, his promoter has to give him a chance to fight a better challenge, those two names that are mentioned are sure a great challenge for him.
And if I remember it right, Garcia is really aiming for Davis. He keeps on sending an indirect message using his social media account, it will be decided once both fighters are inside the ring. I like to see if how Garcia will throw solid combinations in case he creates an opening. The kid has a killing KO punch, but on the other hand, we are talking about Davis here who also has that same or can say much upper level.

Not to go far with my speculation, Haney and Kambosos will be waiting for whoever wins this upcoming fight. He will be the one that will wait for any challenger that will ask for his belt.


Yes, Ryan Garcia is too vocal about that and keeps on teasing Gervonta Davis in his social media accounts, no doubt that he is really looking forward to have a fight against the latter next because he already survived two tune-up fights and it is indeed time for him to face real boxers that is near or higher his caliber. I bet it will be a good sight to see if these two will share a ring and the winner gets a chance to dance with the undisputed boxer.

So probably consistency lang ang problema ni Kai but for sure pwede naman tong ma improved habang naglalaro sya sa ligang to.

Mga 2 years pa siguro bago madeveloped pa ng husto si Kai at baka talagang kayang kaya na nya makipag sabayan sa mga NBA players. Kunting practice pa hehehehe.

Ang laki ng improvement ni Kai Sotto mula ng naglaro sya sa mga international leagues. Nahasa ang bata.

Isa ako sa mga nag-doubt sa kakayahan ni Kai nung bago pa sya kasi ang lambot talaga e.

Pero ngayon basta malapit sa ring, ilista niyo na ang puntos at dunk pa.

Doon ko nakita ang galing niya nung laban ng Gilas sa Lebanon at Saudi Arabia. Halimaw na si Kai if dito sa South East Asia maglalaro para sa Pilipinas. Tapos iyong postehan niya against Phoenix Suns, unti pa at magiging hinog tong batang to.

Oh diba? Talagang may rason kung bakit di pa sya na draft dahil mas maigi munang makakakuha sya ng mga experience bago sya tumuntong sa NBA, ngayon unti-unti na syang nahahasa dahil sa kabi-kabilaang laro at yung laro nila kontra Phoenix Suns ay magandang exposure din yun para sa kanya. May panahon din sya na mkakapasok sa liga at malamang sa malamang ay next year na yan.

That won't happen as per reducing the rounds, there are specific rounding counts depending on the weight limit per se. It's unavoidable really because it's a contact sport.
The boxers are aware of those risks because even a long time ago, they've heard and seen the news about a sudden passing through major blows on the temple.
That's the risk they know and their trainers are also assessing that so that it won't happen to the fighters that they're coaching. They know what's best for each of them and they've already embraced this as a chosen profession.

Well, the boxing commission really knows this aswell but they can not reduce certain rounds because boxing will now be boring to watch in a limited round what can they do to prevent it and to lessen the death, they are now admitting that they can not do a thing to this kind of problem but I don't really think coaches or the fighter can remedy that part with their training, but in further more years to come, it is just going to be uglier if they chooses to change certain rules in the declining popularity of Boxing over MMA like I have said if the


Almost everyone knows those risks but just like what you've said, they can't do about it to make the sport much safer. I guess that's the end of it and for now, all they can do is accept the said risks while the people behind the industry is searching for some remedies without making the fight uninteresting. This is the sport they chose, combat sports specifically and it's natural that fighters will get hurt.
2529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 07, 2022, 11:46:19 AM

The game is not that interested when the superstars aren't playing because we can't really feel the intensity if the lead players aren't there. But these pre-season games are also good because the other players in the roster can establish their skills to the public and it's a good warm-up for both teams before the season will start, formally.

Also, just like what you've said, pre-season games don't really matter so it's not really embarrassing if Bucks or Grizzlies will get defeated. But speaking of embarrassment this pre-season games, it's hard not to mention the Phoenix Suns because they got defeated and bullied by a non-NBA team named Adelaide 36ers especially when the trio of the Suns was there playing. Can't really imagine what the Point God, CP3 felt after the game.

Yup! I really don't think much about the Preseason game for the NBA and It really doesn't matter for them to lose the game aswell but showing their bench players their ability for the team and putting up teams up that the team also isn't using much and seeing their chemistry as well,

Well that game is also a preseason and I don't really know if the Phoenix Suns intentionally lost to the Adelaide 36ers as I mention the Phoenix Suns also just using the bench players for this game it is like they are really underestimating the Adelaide 36ers, but the fans of the Phoenix Suns is not happy about them losing to a non-NBA team like that they should have put in the effort of just winning,

Right, that game is not that important and pre-season was created to give time for each team to establish their plan and to know if it's good or not to draw it again. Just like the game of Lakers and Kings, the Lakers lost the game but their starters played for just 15 minutes or less and then they let the bench players play right after while the Kings let their starting five play all the way. There's indeed a difference, people should know that it's not that important including the Sun's situation versus the 36ers.
It's true, but for me this is a good chance to see how the player chemistry is, and of course if they are going to win their new team mates. I remember last year with the Lakers line up, highly anticipated and we say that it is not that important, as the impression on them is just like half baked. But look at how the team turns out to be in the regular season, but we can argue that it was due to injuries to their franchise like AD and Lebron that really contributed to their downfall.

A good chance because that's is why there are pre-season games, it's a dry run for their plans and that's the perfect opportunity to try whether if it will work or not, both teams will benefit from it and there's no win or lose at this point until the season starts formally. So far we've seen some teams that are doing good and some are not taking the risks of letting their superstars play and just give the experience to the bench players to work their skills.
2530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: October 07, 2022, 09:05:18 AM
Very interesting that Haney told the media that is favoring Ryan Garcia over Tank Davis if ever they will face each other in the ring.

Quote
“I don’t know. Right now, I’m favoring Ryan Garcia but Tank obviously has that one-punch knockout power. But Ryan does too. Ryan’s much bigger, Ryan’s faster but Tank got way more experience than him. I think that's a good ass fight.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/devin-haney-favors-ryan-garcia-over-gervonta-davis--169423

Or maybe he thinks he has better chances again Ryan against Tank Davis? Or it's that Ryan physically more bigger and faster, but we've seen tank fight taller fighter like Barrios and he was able to break him down.

But he also says what we all know already, that this fight will be difficult to make because of their promotions and the network affiliations.
I think Ryan Garcia is similar with Rolando Romero which a boxer that's have been beaten by Tank, so if Ryan vs Tank will happen I expect Tank will win here. Ryan is just relying on his physical appearance and he will try to knocking down Tank, but Tank is a technical boxer just like Haney, he can outbox Ryan. Not really sure why Haney favoring Ryan, maybe he just want to gain popularity considering most people are favoring Tank.

Both of them seems to be silent and they don't have any plan to fight against other boxers, perhaps they're want to bulking and move to next weight.

Rolly though is still raw and very awkward fighter and they are not of the similar type of fighting style.

I agree that Ryan is relying on his physically because that's what all boxers do, fight long if they have the reach advantage in the fight and then uses their strength like Ryan's left hope. And this is what Haney is considering, tall and has power in both hands. But Davis, have face a tall boxer already but doesn't have the power of Garcia.

But it will not be an easy fight for Tank and even for Ryan Garcia if they face each other.

Yes, Rolly Romero is not comparable with Ryan Garcia as these two does have different styles and strengths, Romero was too early in fighting Tank Davis and let the pride control him. Too late because he was already played and was added as a trophy to Tank Davis's record. As for Ryan Garcia, he's still a mystery to me because I believe he hasn't yet mastered his true strength, he already have the speed, strength and power but something is lacking, I just can't figure it out yet. Maybe it's much better if Davis and Garcia will fight so that we will know who's who and which is which, that might be interesting for sure.

This is bad news, though it's also speculation it's not good to see this kind of news that will only disappoint the fans who keep hyping this fight. I don't know why they are still hesitant to make it happen, it's a big PPV fight, both will certainly make huge money.

Indeed but unfortunately, we cannot do anything about it because that same dispute whether if it's big or small, that will likely be the reason why this fight will not materialize. It might be a speculation for now but anywhere I looked into, things are not getting good and that speculation is the nearest possible scenario because if not, then there's no reason to delay the fight any longer.

May nakakita na ba sa inyo yong game ng team ni Kai Sotto na Adelaide 36ers' against Phoenix Suns? Hindi na masama yong pinakita ni Kai doon kasi naka-register din siya ng 11 points and 2 rebounds at nanalo pa sila. On paper, masasabi natin na pwede pala si Kai against an NBA team or pwede na siya maglaro sa NBA pero kung titingnan ng maaigi ay napakadali pa na itulak ni Kai sa ilalim, i mean malalakas pa talaga sa kanya yong mga sentro at PF ng Suns lalo na si Ayton. Dito natin makikita na kailangan talaga ni Kai na magdagdag ng muscles para may palag siya sa ilalim at para na rin iwas injury gaya ng nangyari kay Chet hehe.

Hindi ko nakita pero marami nga nagsabi na ang ganda ang laro nya at talagang may pontential syang maglaro sa NBA. At sigurado akong maraming nakanood sa US ng performance nya at napaisip kung bakit hindi sya kinuha hehehe.

Likas naman matapang ang Pinoy, ok lang sigurong matulak pero for sure, may resbak. Kaya nyan magdagdag ng muscles kung saka sakaling may kukuha sa kanya sa NBA.

Tingin ko naman ay mas maigi na hindi muna sya na draft kasi mas magkaka experience sya habang nasa Adelaide 36ers pa sya, di ko naman sinasabing wala syang makukuha sa NBA pero parang maaga pa kung ngayon taon sya na draft. Ang gusto lang naman natin ay makakapasok sya pero mas maigi kung di hamak na mas capable na sya at buffed na. Tingnan natin kung anong magiging sitwasyon sa susunod na draft dahil for sure mas na groomed sya dahil sa laro na yun. Malabong di mapansin ang kabayan natin.

RIP for the guy. Another death for boxing, another day of mourning. What could be possible changes in boxing to avoid future casualties? Boxing is a sport for the warriors though. These guys know that death is always in play once they enter the ring either for a real fight or a sparring session.

I don't think we can avoid it, boxing organization is doing everything they can prior to the fight, test and everything to see how healthy the boxer is. Maybe reducing the rounds again? but it won't be as competitive.

It's inevitable, there will be always some cases like that every once in a while. In the world of combat sports, the risk is always there and safety is not guaranteed, they may try to reduce the risks but they cannot take that factor away. Promoters, organizers, and fighters/boxer know that fact but they still chose to move forward because of the reward that they could get every fight.

Well, there are indeed some risks but they are willing to take that as it could get their lives more comfortable if in case they will finish the fight successfully and we cannot really blame them for that. They are knowledgeable enough to know what they get themselves into, and in simple words, not all are born to be a boxer. Reducing rounds is not that reasonable as it will make the fight uninteresting, there's a reason why boxing have 12 rounds while UFC have 3 rounds.
2536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anderson Silva vs Jake paul who you bet on? on: October 05, 2022, 05:35:15 PM
Jake paul indeed has improved well after several fights but it doesn't mean he is good compared to someone who has a lot of experience with great record and also in his prime. Anderson Silva is a veteran but every veteran have their time sooner or later. A veteran that has enough experience or skills have a chance to win against a veteran that is older for more than 10 years which the younger one have more stamina and more except experience like the veterans have.
That's the pros for being a veteran, the experience but it's true that his speed and strength lessens over time as he becomes older.

While for Jake, even if he's not that type of the pro but still he's got some experience too but not enough although he's got more flexibility and stamina than Anderson.

Well, the majority is going with Anderson Silva because we all believe that experience matters and he's got a lot of it and toughness has been built on him despite his age.

Yes, Anderson Silva is still a threat even if he's already old enough and note this is not his first fight in the ring as he also had his own share of experience when it comes boxing and came out as a winner as well. While Jake is not that quite agile and his defense is easy to crack, I have no doubt that Silva will just play some games on him. But on the betting side, it's hard to predict who will be the winner and I have some doubts too, so I think I'll pass.
2537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: October 05, 2022, 08:19:45 AM
Who is the coward of these two boxers? I am hearing this talks about they will face each other but we are now in 2022 and nothing has changed but all hype. If I could remember, Terrence Crawford was the undisputed champ at 140 and there were talks already about him and Errol Spence facing each other. We even believed that the fight did not materialize because of different promoters. But now Terrence Crawford as no promoter but there is no deal happening. Everyone will finally see who is ducking who in this situation.

Well there is a popular belief that Spence is somewhat stalling this fight, not necessarily being coward, but most probably just want to get the lion share of the purse. And we also believed that Crawford has agreed to the 60-40 split. So there should be no hindrance whatsoever.

And yet, the fight is still not being made and we are lead to believed that November is the date. But it's already October and we haven't heard much except what they term as 'agreed in terms'.

Either way, we cannot verify if it's indeed Spence or Crawford but just like what you said, many believed that Spence is the one who's ducking and not Crawford because the latter is really eager to make the fight happen while Spence and his camp is so silent all this time. We thought that the fight is already a done deal as they are just waiting for the signing of contracts, but just few days after, we received some news that they are again in dispute.

As I was browsing, I found this.

Balik ulit tayo kay Westbrook, may mga balita na balik na naman sya sa trading block para sa Lakers.

Ang kino consider ng Lakers ay si Turner at si Buddy Hield at unprotected first-round picks in 2027 and 2029 para naman sa Pacers. Hindi pa naman pinapatulan ng Indiana pero since may ugong ugong na naman, baka nag uusap ang dalawang team.

Matatandaan natin na kinuha ng Lakers si Dennis ulit at si Pat na baka ito ang gawing PG ng Lakers, kailangan lang nila ng isang solid na Center na katulad is Turner at all around point at shooting guard na si Buddy Hield na sa pagkakatanda ko maganda rin ang percentage nila sa tres.

@bisdak40 - manipis talaga tong bata na to, hhehe, kulang lang sa buhat siguro para mag gain ng muscles.

Pabor ako kung sakali mang matuloy ang trade na tinutukoy mo kabayan, di na din masama kung tutuusin kahit kabilang pa ang dalawang unprotected future draft picks. Bata pa naman si Turner pero kaya nang makigsabayan, kunting experience lang at weights kailangan para halimaw na sa sentro. Kailangan talaga ng Lakers na magdagdag ng sentro dahil di na din gaanong ka reliable sa AD dahil nga ito injury prone, mas maigi kung mayroong kahalili kung sakaling ma injury ulit.

I have not heard of any new players joining the Lakers who are young and have great potential. LeBron James is getting old and it is obvious that his age is taking a toll on his performance. Looking at the Lakers team right now, we will see good experience and good players who have been around before. Anthony Davis is probably the only player who is reliable but I don't know if he is someone whom you can build a team around. Russell Westbrook and LeBron James are just too old right now. The Lakers are obviously going to have big changes in the future but till then it will be interesting to see how they can perform.
Yes, Anthony Davis is a player whom they can build a team around. Maybe Lakers will keep him for long even after Lebron James retires. It's not easy to find a big man like him who can shoot outside, has good freethrow percentage, and can-do post up plays perfectly.
It could because of what happened before when they have Lonzo, Randle, Kuzma, DLo in their roster, it failed, and it traumatized them to repeat that kind of mistake again. That's why they are not recruiting young guns.
No doubt he can be effective, probably one of the best centers now, however, if he gets injured most of the time, that would make the Lakers struggle especially in the playoffs because it was very evident that without Davis they cannot win against good teams in the NBA.

Hopefully this season to come he will be able to play more games, especially in the playoffs where he is needed the most.

It is likely that he will be the most important player for the Lakers if he can stay healthy. The only problem is that he is quite prone to injuries. The only reason I said that he is not someone reliable around whom a team can be built is because he is quite injury-prone. There is no doubt that the Lakers need him this season because without him I believe that the Lakers are going to be a failure in the playoffs this year. Furthermore, he is not an old man either. As a result, he will be able to provide his services to the team for a longer period of time. It is at least a long period of time compared to LeBron James and Russell.

Well, guess what? The season haven't started yet but Anthony Davis is already probable to play because of back problems and together with the 2 players from the bench namely Walker and Brown, the Lakers released an injury report for their pre-season game against the Sacramento Kings. If Davis will be like the most of the times, they need to start in forgetting Davis and find another reliable big man because they can't put all that load on Lebron's shoulders. His talent is very useful for the Lakers but what will that talent do if he's always on the sidelines because of his never ending injuries.

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 ?
   

One of the best classic examples why we should only gamble when we have some spare funds, we already know that the money we had is already allocated specifically and we shouldn't use it for other reasons aside from emergency purpose. Although I can't really blame what the OP did because we have our own share of story and I don't if someone can relate but personally, most of the time, I think fate will be playing against us if we're using some funds that aren't allocated for gambling.
