Ok, so Eddie Hearn and Matchroom has filed a court case against Jake Paul for saying that judge ieldman is on the the pocket from Matchroom.

Quote
Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing has filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the outspoken Paul, claiming defamation in a complaint filed Friday afternoon with the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. The case was submitted following outrageous allegations dropped by Paul, who alleged that veteran boxing judge Glenn Feldman was on Matchroom’s payroll based on his recent scoring of Taylor-Serrano on April 30 in New York City and the Oleksandr Usyk-Anthony Joshua rematch on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

https://www.boxingscene.com/eddie-hearn-matchroom-boxing-file-defamation-lawsuit-against-jake-paul--169287

And Hearn is seeking $100 million as damages on the allege statement by Paul. Not sure how it will hold on court, but that number is insane and I doubt that the court will order to pay that amount in any case Eddie Hearn wins the case. So it's interesting how it will ended, or it will be settled out of court. Maybe Hearn is teaching Paul here not to messed with the big boys as far as boxing promotion is concern.

I'm not siding with anyone, but it seems that Jake Paul has really crossed the line, I can't recall anyone with the likes of Bob Arum or Don King saying this in public.

Perhaps even if he won this in the court, perhaps he should be careful next time. And yes, Hearn sending a signal not just to Paul but to anyone, this is business, it's cut-throat competition, but you don't have to resort to this things to bad mouth your competition. Jake Paul should have known better.

Jake Paul could have filed a complaint against the judge and should have not spoken those things in public.  Jake Paul doesn't have enough evidence to back up his claim that the judge is under Matchroom's payroll.  That is clear defamation.  Jake Paul should have thought that anything he say would affect the business and reputation of Matchroom, now he is facing a $100m defamation case i wonder how he counters this lawsuit.

$100M seems too much for Defamation.

Depends on possible damage to the reputation of the complainant.  It is said that Matchroom is valued between $739 million and $862 million[1] so pretty much that $100m is too low if ever those statement of Jake Paul ruins that $700m company.



[1] https://frontofficesports.com/matchroom-sport-in-talks-to-sell-minority-stake-worth-215m/

He could but it's nonsense because why would Jake Paul file a complaint against judge Glenn Feldman? He wasn't a victim, nor he was in that fight where Glenn Feldman was biased. It's like filing a complaint to a car driver that didn't do some damage to you. In short, Jake Paul have crossed the line and he didn't expect that Eddie Hearn will file a lawsuit for that. This will be lesson for Jake Paul not to mess with the big boy's league.

That $100 Million might be just enough to cover the damage of what Jake Paul did for the image of Eddie Hearn and the Matchroom Boxing, the court will likely side with the plaintiff for this instance.
982  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: September 23, 2022, 06:59:56 PM
There is a high chance that Shakur will move to 135 pounds after this fight because it might be rumor for now but I guess that is one of their way to inform the public that he is already struggling to shrink his weight inside 130 pounds but I sure do hope that he is not thinking to fight Tank Davis in his debut in that said weight class, he should know what patience is.

Most likely that this will be the scenario if ever Shakur will win against Robson this weekend because there is not much left for him in this division, i mean the money fight is in the higher division. Fighting the likes of Garcia or Davis could be helpful in Shakur's young career because he is known as a defensive fighter who doesn't attract crowds and Bob Arum acknowledges that.

Too bad, Shakur won't be defending his belt anymore because he cannot meet the required weight, he exceeded almost 2 pounds with only few hours left from the weigh-in. Now, there's no holding him up from moving towards the lightweight division where there's money in almost every fight especially now that there's a lot of known good boxers in one stable.

I just really hope that he won't be greedy enough to get Davis in his first fight, I mean, I know Shakur can manage but his chances against Tank Davis is literally low especially now that he is not used fighting in 135 lbs. yet. It might be best for him to fight Garcia first, I'm quite sure that money will rain even in that fight.
983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: September 23, 2022, 06:25:33 PM
This will be his tune-up fight against Haney because I believe Haney will eventually prevail against Kambosos in their rematch and he has a good tune fight against Ortiz, the Loma - Haney is the fight that we all want to happen and hopefully, they will not fail the boxing community's expectation, there are a lot of great fights happening now and making the fight happen between the two is good for the boxing community, and for everybody's pocket as well.

Somehow I read some rumors that Haney is evading Lomachenco since the person believed that Lomachenco's style is devastating to Haney's defensive style.  Is it possibly true that Lomachenco can really crack those defenses of Haney?  Well, I believe it is more interesting to watch Kambosos against Lomachenco since watching Haney's fight is really boring since he adopted the Mayweather defensive boxing style.  

And if Kambosos will win, just like what you said, Haney may wait or fight somebody else first because their trilogy will be second priority as likely the demand for Kambosos-Loma is much heavier.

I find it more exciting to see a Lomachenco - Kambosos fight than Haney - Lomachenco.  Though Haney - Lomachenco fight is quite interesting due to the question - can Loma break Haney's defense?

Well, if Lomachenko also passively conducts a fight with Haney as he did with Lopez, then it will be a rather boring fight in my opinion, yes, in a fight with Lopez he had something to lose and he acted cautiously, but it didn't work. But Lomachenko fight with Kombosos would be very interesting to watch.

I don't know if you knew that Lomachenko is injured during that fight with Lopez? He had problems with his shoulder that's what he was very tentative against Lopez and can't throw as many punches as we want during that fight. So after, it has been operated, made a comeback and beat a good boxer in Nakatani and Commey. So for sure if Lomanchenko is healthy 100%, he will not be as passive, but will continue to attack Haney in any angle and test his defense and how he will crack it.

That was his excuse, although it's true but he cannot make that as an excuse, he could just have postponed the fight and just fight Lopez after the operation, but he continue, that's why we should give the credit to Lopez for being the better fighter.

It was Lomachenko's fault that is why he got defeat from that fight against Lopez, he already knew that something's off with him and that was his shoulders but still he continued the fight carrying that injury because maybe he thought that he might do well against Lopez but actually, he didn't. Post-fight, Lomachenko revealed his injury to get sympathy but what's done is done and it was Lopez who won the fight.

^ It's already getting hype by both camps, as Zayani said that he wouldn't hold in this exhibition fight and Manny says the same. If that is the case then we might see a full blown fight.

And regarding Canelo, he responded to David Benavidez dad, as we all know David's father said that his son will beat Canelo.

But Canelo doesn't want to give David the fight because he hasn't accomplished any.

Quote
“I see his dad talking a lot of sh!t,” Alvarez said. “Look what he’s accomplished – nothing. [He beat] one, single champion, Anthony Dirrell. Please, don’t disrespect [me]. Please, guys.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-i-see-benavidezs-dad-talking-lot-sht-look-what-hes-accomplished-nothing--169178

David should know the word patience and not to pursue some fights that will be ugly for him as it's not his time to face Canelo yet, as said above, David may have a pretty nice record but he can't boast that to Canelo yet because the latter will just give David his ugly moments that he won't probably forget. Canelo was just giving the kid a chance to grow on his own time and phase, David will have his chance soon but not this time.

And it just shows that Canelo might have other plans in the horizon after winning against Canelo. No doubt that David is a rising star in the super middle weight division. But I don't see him beating a prime Canelo. Maybe in the next 2 -3 years, maybe he will have his chance against him, but for now, his father should look on how to build his son and face opponents that will more likely see if he has the potential to become the next future star at 168 lbs instead of chasing Canelo and look for that biggest payday.

No news yet about Canelo yet on whom he will likely face next because he just came out from a trilogy fight against his long rival, Golovkin. Some rumors saying that he will activate his rematch after Bivol-Ramirez fight but I guess Canelo will not activate that if Ramirez will win because Bivol won't have belts by that time.

Quote
No doubt that David is a rising star in the super middle weight division. But I don't see him beating a prime Canelo.

Yes, David needed to climb through the ranks until he can be in the position next to Canelo or #3 in the supper middle weight. I guess that will be in the next few years when he is at the height of his prime and by that time, probably, he'd score against Canelo as the Mexican undisputed champion is not in his prime anymore.

So, before Dennis got an offer from them with a huge contract and he declined it? And now, he's got a contract with them but it's no longer great as before.

To summarize what happened to Dennis Schroder;

- traded from Oklahoma City Thunders to Los Angeles Lakers (2020-21)
- he rejected the 4-year $84 million Lakers contract extension (end of 2021 season) as he is eyeing a much higher deal as a UFA
- he couldn't find his expected long-term deal - in other words, no teams offered what he wants
- no choice but to accept a deal with the Boston Celtics - a 1-year, $5.9 million

He received a BIG LOL from the basketball community because of what happened. And now returning to Lakers with a 1-year, $2.6 million contract, the BIG LOL continues. However, it was reported that Schroder really wants to return to the Lakers, if he says so, then I will buy it. If he plays well this upcoming season, I'm sure the Lakers will offer him a good contract extension.

Well, that will remain as his big what if because he can't make the time go backwards and I know he's been regretting that decision he made back then because his years are wasted as he let the greed control. Although I cannot really blame him for that action he did but what's done is done, he should know this time that he got to prove his existence in the team again and maybe soon he'll be offered another contract.
986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: September 22, 2022, 06:17:10 PM
^ Or the sports bookies are correct in putting Stevenson as huge favorite on their platform because it's simply what everyone thinks. Robson is good but they are not on the same level as far as skills goes. It's just a matter on how will this fight in, will there be a ko/tko in this fight or simply Stevenson will put up a show, a clinic in front of his fans and then win easy on judges scorecard. And in the post fight interview, declaring that he wants to go the next division and again look for Tank.

These sports bookies rarely make some mistakes because putting the real underdog as a favorite will make them lost so much funds that they couldn't imagine as for sure bettors will take advantage of that if in case Shakur Stevenson here will be listed as an underdog.
The fight is approaching near and I won't be surprised that Shakur may go for a KO or TKO here to prove why he is the champion and not Robson. After that, I'm also curious what he'll say, will he climb or unify the belts first? That's what I want to know.

That is a fact! Sports bookies are there to make some money out of the bettors while trying to confuse them, they are not there to make some losses. Anyway, I agree that it is not that surprising if Shakur will win, although his chances are not guaranteed as of now because there is always some chances of upset in any fight but that said chances are literally low and I have no doubt as well that he will.

There is a high chance that Shakur will move to 135 pounds after this fight because it might be rumor for now but I guess that is one of their way to inform the public that he is already struggling to shrink his weight inside 130 pounds but I sure do hope that he is not thinking to fight Tank Davis in his debut in that said weight class, he should know what patience is.

^^ Loma has already proven that even if he is out for sometime his mentality and skills are still the same. When he had that shoulder injury he had operated, and for a year he doesn't have a fight because he needs to recuperate. And then when he comes back, he didn't choose any easier fight, it was against Nakatani who gave Lopez his biggest test before he beat Loma. and then he followed it up with a destruction of former champion Richard Commey. So we should expect the same if not the best version of Loma in this fight, as he is about to hit his peak performance at his age right now. I'm not seeing any ring rust that will put him in danger in this fight.

That's why he has a lot of fans because he does not choose his opponent, he is ready to fight anyone, including Lopez who beats him once. I believe winning this fight is not gonna be hard for him, the hardest will be his upcoming match with Haney if that plan will be realize.

This will be his tune-up fight against Haney because I believe Haney will eventually prevail against Kambosos in their rematch and he has a good tune fight against Ortiz, the Loma - Haney is the fight that we all want to happen and hopefully, they will not fail the boxing community's expectation, there are a lot of great fights happening now and making the fight happen between the two is good for the boxing community, and for everybody's pocket as well.
'

Loma is actually not bothered on whom he'll have to face next after this fight, it may be Kambosos or Haney, depends on the outcome on their rematch. But apart from what you've said, I think it will be much more fun to see Kambosos and Lopez inside the ring as both fighters is fearless the fight might not be boring to watch but it might be Haney who's going to fight Kambosos. That ain't assured yet but it's Haney who has the upper hand.

Speaking of coming off the bench, there's a rumor that Westbrook might probably become a part of the Lakers' backup squad for the first time in his career since his rookie days. Westbrook is always part of the starting lineup the entire his career.

Schroder will now be the starting PG adding to that.

Maybe part of Coach Darvin Ham's plan. Let's see.
Ooh, that's like a liver punch to Westbrook if they implement it. I am not sure, maybe this will be good. If it's not, then he could just change it back.
Spice things up a bit unlike what Coach Vogel did benching Dwight Howard which is still strong even at his age.
So, we might see Westbrook decreasing in minutes per game. That's his plan that he had been telling after he was announced as the new coach.
We will see, it's difficult to judge now. If it works, Lakers bandwagon will be back.
I think the plan is not to lower his playing minutes, but more like who he plays with instead. I still think that he will be starting point guard for sure, maybe not for a few games to test some stuff but he will get back, but even if he is not it is going to be Dennis starting, and then whenever people are benched, Westbrook will take the spot and finish the game.

Sort of like Manu Ginobili if anyone remembers him, dude played as sixth man but he played more than most players, and ended the games with him on the floor, he was by all means a starter, but he didn't started the games in the first five, hence why he was seen as a bench player when he was at some point their best player.

I hope that it's coach Ham plans, there are lots of criticism for Westbrook staying with the lakers

it will be a test of him if how he will adjust to this new treatment. Coming out from the bench might give him time to assess how the team performs and how he can help once he is already playing.

Lakers need to play smart in terms of executing their game plan. If coach Ham will maximize the use of his stars, the chance is still possible for this team in terms of chasing the title.


We don't actually know if that is the new head coach's plan or is the management pushing some pressures again to put Westbrook in the benched, but I surely hope that it's Ham who's calling the shots now, I want him to try what he thinks for the good of the team because he surely doesn't want to fail the expectations for him in his 1st season as the head coach. Putting Westbrook on the sideline will indeed help to have some fresh though and for him to decide what the team needed rather than playing at the start.

2: spread your digital asset portfolio over several digital assets such as BTC, ETH and other Altcoins.
That isn't the best advice to give, spreading your digital assets this way doesn't give you a greater chance of success, quite a lot of people erroneously think it does, but i'm afraid there is absolutely not need buying too many coins, you'd end up having a portfolio filled with shitcoins, pump and dump, scam coins, zero utility coins, etc. Instead of doing this, spread your money to other stuffs that aren't in the crypto network, you could buy Bitcoin and Gold, or Real Estate or any other investment you think is profitable, just DYOR before you invest in whatever.

Having said that, maybe you should change your topic subject, "tips on how to become a CRYPTO MILLIONAIRE" evokes this get-rich-quick feeling, and that's not a good feeling for newbies to have when they see this thread.
Diversifying your portfolio but only in crypto will never guarantee secure profits in the end. It’s better if you can maximize investing in bitcoin since it’s the best asset that will always give huge profits as long as the market is also stable. Furthermore, investing outside the crypto world will also help you gain additional source of profits. Invest in gold, stocks or bonds, or in real estate, that way you will always receive guaranteed profits from your multi sources of investments.

That could be the best scenario, all of them being healthy throughout the season to see the full potential of the team with Bron, Davis and Westbrook. If chances are Davis gets injured again, then they will be again in a difficult situation because Bron and Westbrook will have to carry the team on this shoulder.

That's what I'm looking forward to, Lebron, AD, and Westbrook playing the whole season.

Westbrook played 55 times with Lebron - 17 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 6.7 assists
Westbrook played 39 times with Davis -  18.8 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 7.8 assists

His stats last season are pretty good while playing alongside Bron and AD. What's the other problem? Maybe bench players and supporting roles, especially during the times that Bron and AD are not playing and Westbrook becomes the main guy.



Too much expectation for someone who already passed on his prime, I guess  Roll Eyes but the numbers state it all.

If the new coach got something that will jive the 3 main stars and, together with all the role players that they've signed, the winning chances

Lakers are still good. Imagine a Healthy Davis who we knew how dominant both inside and outside, while both LeBron and Westbrook can

drive inside and attract the defense. Either they'll take the shot and collect a foul or they can drop the ball to someone who has a better

look at the basket.


Well, Darvin Ham said that he has something he wanted to do to these 3 main stars and that might be the key to win the championship title again, another high expectation again but let's see what this new head coach can do for the current roster and give Westbrook a chance to earn his name again.

Chances are low for the Lakers for sure but we never know what will happen soon once the season starts, and as long as AD manages to avoid some serious injuries, the Lakers will be running smooth.

Perhaps they are waiting for the Canelo vs GGG trilogy and wanted to see how the fans are going to react, like the PPV numbers. But it doesn't make sense because fanbase are different. I guess we are all just looking for some excuses as to why the fight is still delayed.  This fight is one of the biggest for the year 2022 and we are all hype about it.



I don't think that's necessary, it's already given, this fight will generate huge PPV sales and gate entrance as well. That's not the problem I'm seeing here, it's probably the split of the revenue, or one of the boxers is not confident he can win the fight, of course, that would result in losing the undefeated record.

Maybe both of them are afraid to lose their 0 in their record, I love to see undefeated fighters fight each other especially when the stakes are very high, what's at stake here is the undefeated record and the undisputed titles, I checked the internet for the latest updates and there is none still the old news that they are ironing about details of the fight, if the contract is signed and there is a date, the internet will explode, I subscribed to over 10 pages about boxing in my social media account and they will send the feeds if the fight will happen, but so far it's all about Fury - Joshua and GGG and Canelo, no news about Crawford - Spence match.

Maybe still on the process or maybe both camps are not willing to give up the undisputed records.

Whatever the reason behind, I'm sure that there will be news or updates about this possible upcoming fight, we can't tell
what's the real score since there is no new announcement about the finalization of their contract, no sign deal yet
but hopefully we will be able to witness this fight, both are good fighters and really have big impacts in this sport
fans will be delighted if both will sign the contract and make this fight happen.

This fight has been waited for the people that's why it will be hard for both camps to hide the details if there is indeed some details to spare but looking at the fight now, no news surfacing nor rumors about the undisputed fight. People and fans are losing patience already because the negotiations is taking too long to make the fight happen.

If this fight won't happen, Crawford should at least defend his belt or get a fight early next year because the time is not on his side anymore unlike Spence who just came back fresh from his fight versus Ugas.

At this point I think it's more just the fans that want to see this fight than the 2 of them.  I know I'm in the minority but Crawford would do this fight in a second, dude fights anything in front of him and is scared of no one.  If this fight does go off catching the early line on Crawford is the play.  Closer to the fight I think it will be much closer to even than in the beginning.  Hope it goes off but I'm not holding my breath.

That might be true mate, I really think that only Crawford and the fans around the globe are the ones who are only interested in making this fight happen but for Spence and his camp? I'm starting to sense that they are just avoiding the fight to happen behind scenes that is why we haven't heard any update from their camp ever since the discussion began.

I will be happy if this fight will materialize this year but I'm already done waiting for it too. Crawford should act early though because he haven't got a fight this year.

To hype everyone up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5niaQyq4iGo

Intense face off between the two, and it seems that both of them are ready for a war. It's going to be a great weekend match for everyone and for sure everyone's bet is already in. Noticed though that GGG seems to be not as weight drain, I mean yes he fought at 160 lbs most of his career and then he jumps to 168 lbs here, but you can see his face and his jaw is like round and full unlike those previous fights of his, just saying. So better invite your friends this weekend and watch the fight in PPV.
Thanks for the link.

As expected that there would be some slight physique change and i had noticed it too but its not that surprising considering that there's a slight bump on weight
but lets see if this one wont really be resulting into some sort of slow down.
Im already readying up for this upcoming weekend which would really be a good fight to look upon.Hope it wont disappoint.

GGG sounds not very confident or he wasn't asked the right question to say what has been needed to say but for the love of sport and Canelo wants to bring a good show for the people this Sept 16 which is the independence day of Mecico. Amazing how embarrassing could this be if Canelo loses the fight but Judges may really be on his side.

Nah man! GGG is showing the opposite thing, look at him smiling widely and entertaining the public which exactly shows how confident and happy he is that after a long time, he is now fighting Canelo for the 3rd time in same place. This is his first fight with Canelo in 168 pounds but he said that he is not that worried of the extra weight, tacos will suffice.

Yes, Mexico is celebrating their Independence Day this coming weekend and surely there will be a lot more Mexicans who will cheer and watch Canelo. I don't know how would he feel if he will be defeated in this precious weekend, I'm excited to find out.
994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 15, 2022, 08:53:10 PM
though we knew Inoue is much faster and accurate against butler but yet none can assure that there will be a knock out though many of us expecting this to come as the fight is a Monster against Human here.
In how many occassions Inoue had proven His ability and capacity so I am looking also for a knocking down.

It's pretty safe to assume this fight will end in a knockout. The difference in talent level is just too immense. The only real question is for how many rounds will Inoue allow Butler to survive?
I know that we're all expecting a good beat from Inoue but I don't want to assume that this will end with a knockout. Butler also is showing good professional record such as Inoue.

But in all fairness, I just don't want to safely assume that it'll be like that. Well, as for the latter question, IMO it's valid that it's in the hands of Inoue if he want to end it quick or not. As I've said, Butler also has the recorded stats that's also impressive and will surely do his best to beat Inoue.

Every fighters have that same chance if they managed to prepare better from their opponents then they can the fight.

Butler has that experienced and he will use that to take his chance beating Inoue. We still don't know if who's going to win

it's just an open opinions and speculation by the fans basing on how they've seen both fighters Foght before.

He has a slim chance base on records as well. When they say It takes a monster to beat a monster, it literally what it is and Butler is just not one to qualify. Butler is a champ but doesn't have the power KO. I have watched video speculations regarding this fight and what they are saying is still Naoya that will remain to be the top.

There's no denying that fact because undoubtedly, Butler is nowhere near the monsters current speed and prowess. Butler might be a champion but I doubt if he will still have that belt his holding if Casimero didn't struggled on his weight but we cannot do anything about that now as it's already happened. Nonetheless, all odds are in favor of Inoue and this fight will end early too.

I assume Butler's odds on the bookies will be very much tempting but that won't matter.
995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 15, 2022, 08:22:25 PM
^^ Yes, that's one of his biggest mistakes, he didn't let his hands go specially in the early rounds. And it's too late, maybe round 7 when he started to chase Devin, but Haney is already in the zone and comfortable, using his length so that George can't go inside. So if Kambosos will start hot like in the Lopez fight and swarm Haney, then he might have a chance to win. Otherwise, another easy fight for Haney, cruising automatic for a 12 round decision again and a place for a Loma fight next year.

I rather support Haney to win to see a better fight next year vs Loma. hope he will gonna wrap it short in this part 2 against Kambosos. So that he can get ready for his next level opponent we all know Loma is not that easy and he would be in real trouble if he don't fight seriously this time. If he shows some great leveled-up boxing skills in his upcoming fight, then he won't have any problem fighting Loma next year. Haney is just improving and getting ready for the real deal next year.

Same here, but if Kambosos can pull an upset, I think we will still see a good fight between Kambosos and Loma because for sure both fighters are going to give a very entertaining fight. No fighter that is boring, so it's better than Haney vs Loma, however, Kambosos beating Haney is not going to be easy.

I guess either fight will be very entertaining:

1. Loma vs Haney - we will see the best defensive skills in the division against Hi-Tech offense and footwork of Loma.

2. Loma vs Kambosos - George using his aggressiveness and then Loma using again his footwork and try to be as elusive adn find the angles against Kambosos.

So still a win-win for us boxing fans as we will be treated with some of the best boxers in this division.

Yup, either way it is a win for all of boxing fans out there because having Loma in the equation will make the fight more interesting to see that's why it is already expected that there will be a lot of people who will be waiting for this fight because Loma is back on track now.

But before that, there might be a trilogy in the process if in case Kambosos will win this time and that means will have to wait again before any of this speculated fights will happen.

I think you're probably right that a big change is coming for them in the near future.  Russell Westbrook just put his multimillion-dollar Los Angeles home up for sale, so he's expecting to need to find a new place to live in the near future.  I would think that you wouldn't put your home up for sale unless you knew that a change in scenery was imminent, which leads me to believe in spite of all the friendly talk, Pat Beverly and Russell Westbrook won't be playing on the same team.  I'm even starting to wonder if picking up Pat Bev was a way to help nudge Russell towards a buyout.

Honestly, I still have no idea if any other team would risk getting Westbrook, but it's clear that his decision to put the house in Los Angeles up for sale indicates that there is a good chance that the Lakers will get rid of him before the start of the season. By the way, this situation reminds me of Ben Simmons, who also put up for sale his real estate in Philadelphia before being traded to the Nets.

Think people are looking too much into that.  Market is high a good time to sell.  And yeah he might be gone soon but he should know his contract will be incredibly hard to move, much harder than Ben Simmons.  Ben basically told Philly he won't play for them either, russ ain't doing that.  So it could be as much as he just wants to move.

Yes, there is a high chance that it was just all a coincidence and Westbrook selling his house is not a sign or somehow connected to his current situation in LA Lakers. Ben Simmons is different because he already decided that he won't play for the Sixers anymore, that's why he sold his house at Philly.

I think we are just overreacting on some things regarding with Westbrook's situation because as of this moment, it seems to me that Westbrook will finish his contract playing for the Lakers.

Take note that some other people here are busy wit their own task done on crypto to earn money so for sure no people here will teach you one on one. So you better do your own research because many information are already placed here. Start to read the pinned threads because it consist with important information and then check the whole section because all of the discussion related to coin new or old are already there.
Of course, everyone in this forum has their own busy schedule so that it is impossible to give direct lessons. Actually it just depends on how a beginner makes use of every thread in this forum and is not lazy to search and read about some crypto and bitcoin knowledge. I found some beginners who are really serious about asking questions and continue to discuss until they get a definite answer and some of those who are serious continue to develop until they can reach a higher level and get the knowledge they want. it all depends on each individual whether they want to learn or not.
No matter how many sources we will put in here, if the learner do not have the focus and determination to learn, then everything will still be useless. OP, if you have the patience and eagerness to learn, you can actually google everything about crypto and bitcoin because everything are already found in the internet for free. It’s only up to you how you’ll manage your time and understand every details on what you read.

Perhaps they are waiting for the Canelo vs GGG trilogy and wanted to see how the fans are going to react, like the PPV numbers. But it doesn't make sense because fanbase are different. I guess we are all just looking for some excuses as to why the fight is still delayed.  This fight is one of the biggest for the year 2022 and we are all hype about it.



I don't think that's necessary, it's already given, this fight will generate huge PPV sales and gate entrance as well. That's not the problem I'm seeing here, it's probably the split of the revenue, or one of the boxers is not confident he can win the fight, of course, that would result in losing the undefeated record.

Maybe both of them are afraid to lose their 0 in their record, I love to see undefeated fighters fight each other especially when the stakes are very high, what's at stake here is the undefeated record and the undisputed titles, I checked the internet for the latest updates and there is none still the old news that they are ironing about details of the fight, if the contract is signed and there is a date, the internet will explode, I subscribed to over 10 pages about boxing in my social media account and they will send the feeds if the fight will happen, but so far it's all about Fury - Joshua and GGG and Canelo, no news about Crawford - Spence match.

Maybe still on the process or maybe both camps are not willing to give up the undisputed records.

Whatever the reason behind, I'm sure that there will be news or updates about this possible upcoming fight, we can't tell
what's the real score since there is no new announcement about the finalization of their contract, no sign deal yet
but hopefully we will be able to witness this fight, both are good fighters and really have big impacts in this sport
fans will be delighted if both will sign the contract and make this fight happen.

This fight has been waited for the people that's why it will be hard for both camps to hide the details if there is indeed some details to spare but looking at the fight now, no news surfacing nor rumors about the undisputed fight. People and fans are losing patience already because the negotiations is taking too long to make the fight happen.

If this fight won't happen, Crawford should at least defend his belt or get a fight early next year because the time is not on his side anymore unlike Spence who just came back fresh from his fight versus Ugas.

It's the 3rd fight, so if there's another fight, it will be the 4th. If that will happen, then it's okay because these two are great fighters and they can give real entertainment unlike other chances who are boring to watch as they just want to score and run, this one they do a toe to toe fight, that's why the fans are asking for this fight.

If Golovkin wins this fight, then he may decide to retire. Even if he decides otherwise, I don't think that he will agree to another fight with Canelo. He has repeatedly claimed that he was robbed of wins not once, but twice. So why should he give an opportunity to Canelo, to get even? But then, there will be a lot of ifs and buts. Given the asymmetrical betting odds, no one in their right mind would think that Golovkin is a favorite to win this match. As I mentioned earlier, I have placed a small bet in favor of GGG. But even then, I am not being much optimistic.

That's another option, but if you will ask me, why would he retire if he can still make more money fighting Canelo again?

Here's what I'm thinking that could happen, If GGG cares more about his legacy, then retirement is the best option, but if he cares more about making more money before retirement, then he will continue to fight, whether it's Canelo or another fighter.

I guess we can already answer that question, GGG cares more about his legacy than the money he could make in the future if in case he upsets Canelo. GGG already said that he won't retire but that might change if in case he gets victorious here, that would be the best revenge he could give to Canelo after all the years he was rejected for a trilogy. 2 days more!
