Whether what angle you look, this is a good fight as no champion now who is willing to fight Manny. I don't think it's just about the money, maybe they still believe that Manny is hard to beat and that would tarnish their undefeated record. Well, Garcia is not anymore undefeated so he would take this fight, however, we cannot ascertain if this will happen since there's no official statement yet that it's already finalized.

Ryan Garcia is undefeated and so is Crawford and they are more than willing to fight Manny, it's not about the record it's more about the legacy, imagine being one of the guys who beat Manny and get him into retirement, Mikey is a perfect opponent for Pacquiao, I'm just afraid that he will imitate Marquez counter-punching style to beat Manny but let's see.

This is not a Ryan Garcia vs Manny Pacquiao fight, don't be mislead.

Yes, Ryan Garcia is undefeated, no question about that but the one that would fight Manny is  Mikey Garcia, and according to this record that we can find in https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/364679.. he has one loss and that is against Errol Spence Jr.
2982  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas (No date yet) on: May 16, 2021, 09:16:41 AM


Sure they will because Inoue is very quick.  He’s circling the squared ring like a bee around a flower and hits a punch-by-punch, earning himself points. I don’t think the fight will end in a knockout as, by and large, Dasmarinas is a tough boxer but,  regarding the fight technique, Inoue is his superior. I would bet on Inoue.

I don't think so Inoue is always looking for a knock out he is has very quick moves and always look for a good angle to land those solid punches, Inoue is not the kind of fighter who fights for the decision Donaire is just so lucky that Inoue did not knock him out, but Dasmarinas is not Donaire he may be tough but not as tough as Donaire.

He will look for a KO as that is his brand of boxing, he is a beast because he is feared in the ring.

Well, not all fight of him are won by KO but his KO rate is very high, 20 wins and 17 of that wins are in KO..
Here's the record https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/628407

His last 10 fights are in KO, except for Donaire fight which was a good one.

Lots of games tomorrow, 15 in total, and this would be the last game of the NBA season.
https://www.covers.com/sports/nba/matchups?selectedDate=2021-05-16

Blazers have to win this game if they want to be in the top 6, if they lose, the Lakers will replace them as for sure Lakers will win against the Pelicans.

I can see now and I believe that Lebron is really back 100% healthy.
That's a surprise and didn't escalate to me.

Hopefully that the Lakers are now back and shape and they're going to be at their best with their upcoming game/s.

The Lakers are already in the full squad now and they are healthy as well.  Not only Lebron is back, but they also have Schroder back in the lineup and we know how good he is so what we are seeing now is the Lakers that are a championship team. They may be not be included in the top 6 but they still have a huge chance of winning even if they will not have the home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Most likely, they will face the Phoenix suns or the Denver Nuggets, that's a tough series for them but I know they can handle that.
2984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 16, 2021, 05:57:54 AM
Lakers tied with the Trail Blazers again after winning against the Pacers. If both teams win their games 1 more and Mavs lose, we will have a triple tie.
Yeah, that would be so interesting, but I think Mavs would not lose in their last game, it's Blazers who have the toughest opponent which is the Nuggets. I can see that the Lakers and Mavericks will have an easy win tomorrow.

Lots of early games tomorrow, don't miss putting a bet, the early the better.

By the way, not much excitement in the East as we can already tell the positioning now.
2985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Manny Pacquiao vs Mikey Garcia in Dubai on July 2021? on: May 16, 2021, 05:35:57 AM
There is a new interview with Mikey Garcia. He stated that there have been conversations with Pacquiao's representatives but he is not getting his hopes up that they will get a deal done soon. He is already starting to look for other options. It sounds like Pacquiao is asking for too much money and that is the reason why they haven't been able to reach a deal.

https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2021/05/12/exclusive-mikey-garcia-manny-pacquiao/

To be honest, I am not surprised. The same happened with the proposed fight against Terence Crawford as well, if you guys remember. I don't have exact information on how much Pacquiao is demanding for the fight against Garcia. For the match against Crawford, he was demanding $40 million, when the organizers were ready to pay him $10 million as guaranteed purse. He needs to understand that circumstances are not that good. The fight can't happen in Las Vegas, and the gate collection will be low, as a result of the ongoing pandemic situation. I don't think that Pacquiao will fight anyone this year.

It's expected that Manny will ask for big money as he is a star in boxing, he can attract a lot of fans to watch them live and pay the PPV subscription. We don't know what's happening inside, but let's hear the statement of both parties before we conclude, I'm still optimistic though that the fight will happen.
2986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 16, 2021, 05:13:42 AM
It is really good to see Lebron back. He will not have too much chance to get back on his condition, his fitness could be a problem on the early days of play-in and also the playoff as well, I am expecting him to be 100% ready on second round if they get there but this is Lakers with Lebron+AD we are talking about I am sure they will get there.

However things will get interesting after that, we all know that regular season western conference is a bit weird, Jazz at the top and Suns below and Nuggets under them, these are all good teams for sure but they are not teams many people expect to be champions, so it is not going to be that easy if you ask me for these teams to face Lakers, but eventually we get teams like Clippers facing Lakers and that could be very good to watch. Or maybe Lakers or Clippers could be eliminated before they even face each other like last year, I really do not know.
Dominant LeBron and AD in the pacers game, Drummond defends the shaded area, I think now they are ready for the playoffs and I feel bad for the team that they will be facing because every playoff LeBron is 100% and they always win, now that AD is also back, and Drummond for sure they will be in the west finals, hoping they are healthy comes to the west finals.

Lots of games tomorrow, 15 in total, and this would be the last game of the NBA season.

Gamblers should spend some time taking a break before gambling again as if a person is focused on gambling will face health problems and also in financial if ever there is an emergency situation. It is important that gamblers always think about themselves rather than gambling all the time.
If they will keep losing, but if they are winning then gambling would help them during this pandemic. Though the saying is correct that casinos win in the long run, but it did not say gamblers will never win, there are some people who are smart and they make money in gambling, but that doesn't mean this opportunity is for everyone since it's needed to have the skills before we can make a living in gambling.

2988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: May 14, 2021, 01:43:18 PM
It sometimes depends on our needs, maybe most of the signature campaign participants have spent their reward for their personal needs, while some are lucky to hold it as they have a good job that they don't need to cash out their reward.. It's a case to case basis actually, what's important is we earn and it's up to us on how to spend our earning.
It is just what I said earlier. I have shared i what I would do once I got my payment on signature campaigns. I have stated that I do all three of it which is shown on top of the thread and I voted I do all three which is I split the money I got into three for gambling (small time), hodl, and personal needs. I even use the money I got to start load business (local sim cards).
Nice to hear that bro, making use of your income to start a business is very inspiring, some people would just gamble it since it's not hard-earned money, but your plan is good, we have the opportunity, let's use it wisely. I've been in signature campaign for a while now but I have never saved a lot of money from it, it's just that I love to use it in gambling and though sometimes I can save some it will not last as I'll spend it anyway over time.

And who's to say casinos won't implement LN payments or other sidechain transactions in the future?

50/50 chances, because they have a new alternative to solve the high fees, and that is adding altcoins as a payment method.
That's most of their choices but we're hoping that they would add up LN as a choice so that it's exposure would be of a great help.

As we know, the fees was also cheap and transaction confirmation was also quicker with the use of LN. And with the help of casinos who would actually do that, they'll educate others that there's an existing of something like that.

In the past, crypto casinos have contributed a lot to bitcoin's fame today so it would really help.

Bitcoin's popularity will stay, crypto has become popular because of bitcoin, so the majority of gamblers would still prefer bitcoin. Fees are not a big issue if you are gambling with a decent amount, paying 10 USD per transaction is not big if it's only less than 1% of what you are gambling, besides, you will enjoy the anonymity here that you will not get in regulated fiat casinos.

If the Lakers and Blazers ended up with identical records, Blazers will get the 6 spot, because they got the tie break on the strength of their winning against the Lakers:
The same situation will be with the Mavs because the Lakers lost to them twice during this season. So it looks like the Lakers will end this season on rank 7 because it is unlikely that the Mavs and the Blazers will lose two of their remaining games.


3 way ties are drawn out a different way.  Not saying one way or another I haven't ran it but it doesn't go just head to head anymore.  It will be a fun ending either way.  I kinda like the play in games, makes the last week much more interesting.

It's more interesting, and what rules will be used to determine which team will get the top 6 and 7? This is possible though as all these teams have 2 games left, so let's find out what's gonna happen, IMO, it's likely that the Blazers and Lakers will have a tie on the standing since Dallas have an easier opponent.
2991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Manny Pacquiao vs Mikey Garcia in Dubai on July 2021? on: May 12, 2021, 02:08:04 PM
A fight against Mikey Garcia should not be too hard to make but we have yet to hear anything official. If this fight was happening in July then this would be around the time they would start their training camps. The inactivity can't be good for Pacquiao and the longer he remains out of the ring the better it would be to just remain retired.
I don't get Pacquiao though, he should've retired after his defeat against Marquez but he is still pushing on, I admire that he did fight still but there should be a limit and he should retire with his last fight already a win. By the way, I think training camps don't work like that, I think that there should be an announcement of the fight first before doing training.

Manny seems became greedy for money as he have an ambition to became a higher official in Philippines, maybe thats the reason why he didn't left boxing yet since he needs money for running his wants. For me he really needs to retire since he already got a name on this industry and if he's unlucky to get a career ending disease brought by receiving a heavy punch for sure he will regret why he didn't retire while his body still in shape.

Manny has been in the business for more than a decade, and he is not only a fighter now, he is also a promoter who already knows how to run the business. I'm sure he has a backup plan and he can still get a fight this year.

For me, Manny is not greedy, he just wants to fight and the majority of the fans would want to see him fighting.
Retirement is only good if you have nothing to give, but the last fight of Manny prove that he still has a lot to give in boxing.

Thanks for sharing this very important information @Hypnosis00.

As the training will start, there should be no more doubt that the PBA season will start next month.
This is a contact training, which means the same set up when they are playing an actual game, and this would not be approved if there's no measure in place for this, so there's no need to worry, let's just remain optimistic and we will eventually a new season getting started next month.

2993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders - May 8 on: May 09, 2021, 09:24:38 PM

There's no rematch for this fight I guess, Saunders will require more time to recover from the injury. Looking forward to a big fight on Canelo this year, he is getting more exciting to watch as he always finds a way to defeat his opponent, whether by KO or by decision, no doubt he is still at his peak.



It's not attractive anymore, Saunders did not live up to expectation the only rematch worth watching is with Golovkin, Canelo has two options now, go on and fight Caleb which is a good option or do a third match with Golovkin which is good for the boxing world, Golovkin is the only fighter who can engage and match Canelo's aggressiveness, I like the latter than the former.

No question about that, it's indeed a big fight but that fight deserves a wider audience which I think is not possible during the pandemic. Canelo is hot right now, so I believe he will be the favorite to win if they will have a trilogy against triple G. For me, I'm willing to spend money just to see a third fight as that fight we don't know who will win and we can expect a real close fight.
2994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: May 09, 2021, 08:53:54 PM
Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion so that is fine however if the fight was boring then I can only assume the fight is going to be even more boring now,
It is getting more boring now because of the rumors and talks that it's not going to be with Terence Crawford. There are some other matches that are able to cover these matches and rumor fights of Manny.
Manny is moving to another opponent, but then, it's still speculation for now, not finalized yet as no contract has been signed here. We would love to see Manny fight this year because he has not fought for a while, but without a quality opponent, I think fans would not be entertained and the fight will not generate good revenue.

It was rumored that he will fight Mikey Garcia, but that remains a rumor until now.

Miami Heat are crushing the Boston Celtics on ESPN right now. They have a near 100% chance to win before halftime! Looks like they might score over 150 points at this pace. Fair to say they’ll cover the over. As a team they’re shooting 55% from the three point line so far. Just one of those days you want to get over with for the Celtics I guess.
They've cut the lead already to 15 points, but Miami's continues to hit three's that's why they're still in the lead. Boston need to trim it to manageable lead going into the fourth quarter so that we will have a ball game here. I like this Fournier guy, he has a good touch from the perimeter but can dribble penetrate.
Unfortunately, Boston was not able to make a complete come back and they lose this game. It was still the same Heat who beat Boston in the last ECF,  and it's good to see them playing again, maybe we will see them again in the playoffs and the Celtics has to make revenge here. Nice points distribution here for both teams, it's just that Boston was not able to make a comeback like what they did against the Spurs,  not enough time.

It's already been over a week since the final contract was supposedly sent to Tyson Fury and we have yet to hear anything. Hopefully they will interview Hearn and Fury during the broadcast of the Canelo fight so we can get some answers as to why they haven't closed the deal.

You missed the update, this fight will not happen anymore as shared by.
News being leaked is the Fury vs Joshua fight might not go ahead. Bob Arum (promoter for Fury) said it is "dead in the water".

That's why we don't talk about it anymore because we already lose the excitement of this fight, this is a big fight and the promoter would like to make huge money from this, but it seems the negotiation does goes well.

No point in placing a bet in this fight, i am not expecting an upset and there is no point in wagging when the odds are really low.
If you want to have fun though and just want to test this match or you've some spare and you really got bored, you can bet for this match.

But I would agree to you that there's no point on it but if you want to ride the hype and drama of this match, then you should bet on.

I hope what happened to Saunders will not happen to Logan Paul. If a boxer would really hit his opponent real hard, he could injure him and might put his life at risk, well, this is just an exhibition fight but there's already bad blood between the two, I hope it's real.

Nice win for the KO bet, I thought it was a close fight but Saunders got careless and tired in the early rounds. I hope he is okay, it looks like his eye was seriously injured that he cannot continue the fight. congrats to the winners, especially those who made the right prediction.

It was really serious because he was taken to the hospital, that's how strong Canelo's punches are.

here's the news about that, but we will definitely see more update about his injury.

He is a fighting senator, he did not retire in boxing, now he is running for a higher position and I believe there's a condition on him, if he will win, maybe he will fully retire in boxing, but if not, he will just continue fighting. The exhibition matches make it easy for Manny to make more money, as even if he will retire, his popularity is still here and he can fight the exhibition fight, and we might see the rematch of Mayweather vs Manny in the exhibition fight.

Or it will be cooler if he will become the fighting president.

Actually, Manny did not talk about retirement yet, we are just concluding things that he will retire, and besides, there's no assurance that he will win in case he will really pursue running for Presidency.  Manny is gonna make history here, a fighting President that can beat a champion, we haven't seen that in our life yet, but the question is, how would it affect his reputation on the way he handles his nation?

This is enough assurance that CJ Perez will not play as he use to in his previous team, and he can play with ease here while trying to create some good chemistry with his teammates. I don't know if he is a starter, but hopefully, he is because they need some energy in the starting game.

It's a big break by CJ Perez, once he will win his first championship with the SMB, the rest will just follow, but of course, credit to the whole team, not only him as that's how they play.
