5461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: October 03, 2021, 11:24:30 AM
But this is happening on October 5, right? Or I'm just not updated any more that the fight was move again or postpone?

This is not fun anymore if that would really happen, fans are waiting for a year just to see this fight, and now when the date of the scheduled fight is approaching, a postponement is gonna happen again?

Nope, it's postponed once again to October 16, see below quote. Barely two weeks from now and as per report tickets for this fight are now selling. I just can't imagine the frustrations of both camps on the uncertainty of this fight as they are preparing or training for a long time now, they must be over-trained by now  Smiley.

Triller must have paid a substantial amount to Lopez and  Kambosos to move this fight, might not profit from this promotion I think.

Quote
Triller Fight Club wants to move the event from Oct. 4 to Oct. 16, but Kambosos believes the promoter should be removed from the bout

And it's getting bizarre as the fight will push through with the Oct 16 date, however, there is no Lopez-Kambosos in the main event.

And Triller responded to Kambosos, but asking the sanctioning body to removed him as a mandatory fighter for Lopez's belt.

Quote
In addition to requesting the removal of Kambosos, Triller has also called for the IBF to release the 20% deposit—more than $1,200,000—that Triller was required to place in escrow in securing the rights to the fight. Triller won a February 25 purse bid by submitting an offer of $6,018,000, far outpacing Matchroom Boxing ($3,506,000) and Top Rank ($2,315,000)—Lopez’s career-long promoter. Lopez was due 65% of the winning bid, translating to a career-high $3,911,700, far more than his combined paydays in title wins over Commey and Lomachenko. Kambosos’ remaining 35% cut was $2,106,300, reportedly at least ten times more than he has made for any fight to date.

https://www.boxingscene.com/triller-moves-forward-with-october-16-show-barclays-without-lopez-kambosos--160964

So officially we won't see Lopez-Kambosos, really sad as to how this anticipated fight turns out to be. Not pointing any finger but it seems that Triller is at fault here being the promoter of the fight.

Was there any news to make the price shoot up? I saw a few nice pieces of bitcoin news when I saw the price had pumped a few thousand dollars, but nothing that would make me think people would suddenly start piling money in. Maybe just resistance break or sentiment change after bouncing off low $40,000s once again?

I posted this in the other thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5363454.msg58072021#msg58072021

Maybe investors saw this as a positive news, SEC delaying their approval, so still 50/50 if an ETF can be approved next month or not. A indication that SEC is really looking at it like in a microscope that's why they need additional 45 days, to make a decision. Imagine what kind of FOMO we are right now, and what if US SEC approved it? would be crazy price increase up to the end of the year and maybe see the price into the 6 digits. So everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
5463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 01, 2021, 10:44:00 PM
We all want to see Casimero vs Inoue, but reading everything related to the fight, here what influences the most is what I have always said, the business model, and for now it is politics that directs the course of the fighters, for Of course all this comes down to what everyone is looking for: "Money", and without going too far, this article talks a lot about what the OMB influences:

Every move they made now is calculated, I mean that they are weighing all the options, and where they could earn more money then that would be the fight that they will take. In this case of mandatory fights, the sanctioning body wants a share of the pie and we can deny the fact that this is not a money fight that the promoters want so expect Casimero to receive a purse so much lower if he fights Donaire or Inoue and mind you the risk is the same.

Yes, that's true, mandatory fights just gave minimum money for this boxers of this organisation. But the good thing is that they keep a good standing in the WBO and could be given privilege in their next fight, like going up in weight, they could have a first crack of the WBO champion.

But even with less money in the table, Casimero still needs to win this so that a unification bout can happen with either Naoya or Nonito, and that's where the money will come.

5465  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 10% increase in a day - why? on: October 01, 2021, 02:24:27 PM
Or maybe it is because of the SEC extending the approval of Valkyrie XBTO Bitcoin Futures Fund filing by 45 days.

Quote
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act4 provides that within 45 days of the publication of notice of
the filing of a proposed rule change, or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the
Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change,
or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapprove

https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/nasdaq/2021/34-93172.pdf

And as September continue its pattern to be one of the worst, October is the month wherein we are into the recovery mode.

Edit: there are 3 other Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) approval being extended at a later date: Global X Bitcoin Trust, WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust, Kryptoin Bitcoin ETF.
5466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] JOSHUA vs USYK on: October 01, 2021, 01:30:59 PM
There's only so much weight someone can put on before it becomes a hinderance as bodybuilders often don't make good fighters and are too bulky. Usyk obviously isn't a true heavyweight and I think he would struggle to get much bigger than he is right now but he should just do what he did against AJ and try outbox him and dodge whatever Fury throws at him. Easier said than done though and I think Fury is a better boxer than AJ.

Indeed Usyk is not a heavyweight. Joshua weight was 8kg more than Oleksanders. And Tyson Fury is (or was) 16kg heavier than Joshua.
Btw, comparing Fury and Joshua, Fury is more faster. I think this is due to Anthony being a heavyweight because he has pumped his muscles, which hinder more than help. While Fury has a lot of weight in his "life buoy ring". But frankly, Fury is to big for Usyk. Speed wont help him to avoid Fury's bombs.

Yeah, I agree that there is a limit specially for some athletes as far as weight goes. Usyk and his team played it very well, just enough to go to the heavyweight minimum, not lose Usyk speed and body and head movement. Enough to give them a win against Joshua, perfect strategy.

@icopress - Joshua is exercising his rematch clause, so the fight might happen first quarter of next year. Much better to keep this thread or rename it if the fight officially happens.
5467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: September 30, 2021, 11:23:45 PM
Triller cannot seem to do anything right. They already had a date and venue agreed upon only to change their minds and delay the fight again without having Kambosos' approval. They have not taken their duty as a promoter seriously and I think Kambosos has every right to want their bid defaulted so that another promoter will take over the event.

I think it has something to do with other fights, like the Alvarez vs Plant.

But yes, I agree, they really made a big mistakes moving the venue, the dates, just shows how the company is handled internally. Hopefully, Kambosos or Triller settled it, fans are excited about this fight because of the hype and the trash talk.

Recently, Lopez issued a statement that he it will be violence in the ring, even predicting that a broken eye socket might happen in this fight, hehehe.
5468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] JOSHUA vs USYK on: September 29, 2021, 11:40:44 PM
I think that in order to be able to seriously talk about the Fury - Usyk fight as a competitive one, it is necessary that Usyk gain at least a little weight (can he, given that he has already moved to a new weight category for himself?). Now Usyk weighs 100 kg, and Fury 123 (or already more) - 23 kilograms of difference, in fact, they are in different weight categories.

He will lose his speed and probably his accuracy if he gains more weight than he can afford, he is ok with his current weight as long as Usyk maintains that speed and accuracy, he can fight anybody as he did with Joshua and beat him, heavyweight is the only division where there is no maximum weight limit, Usyk if ever will add more weight it will not be more that will hinder his speed.

That's why Usyk is really a cruiserweight, and not a pure heavyweight. Fury is very different breed of heavyweight though and same with Wilder, taller and heavier. And it is not advisable for Usyk to put in more weight, yes he might lose his mobility and speed which is a big factor in his win against AJ. So it's better to just used the same weight against Fury (if they fought), but it will take a lot to be able to beat the version of this Fury.
5469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 29, 2021, 11:20:30 PM
Does the Los Angeles Lakers this year have really a chance to dominate the league with this team? there's no doubt that they are one of the strong teams in the NBA this year but if they don't maintain a healthy body throughout the season then they might end up like how they were last season even though they have players like Westbrook in their roosters right now because the other team has some strong roosters too.

I think that they are a bunch of misfits that are chucked together, apart from LBJ of course.

And most people on that roster are over 30 years old which definitely causes issues.

The depth of the talent is impressive but will they keep up in 80 games of regular season and ~20 games in the playoffs? I'm not sure about that.

The last championship of the Chicago Bulls, 1996-1997, most of the players are way above 30 years old. If I'm not mistaken, Robert Parish was above 40 years old that time, and then Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Harper and Steve Kerr on their 30's already.

So only time can tell if this bunch of oldies in Lakers uniform can make a run to the championship or not. Of course there will be injuries, no one can avoid it and then father time. But if all circumstances fall into pieces this year for the Lakers, then there is a big chance that can be in the playoffs and maybe in the finals.
5470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: September 29, 2021, 10:54:41 PM
wait until the day of the fight.

That wait will be extended to another few more months as the fight was imploded due to the request of the challenger to default Triller's purse bis (TBH I have no idea why Kambosos did that and on what motive).

There are also rumors that Lopez has signed a contract that allow this fight to be postponed to a later date while Kambosos decline to do so  Grin.

Anyone got the real score of what's happening to this mandatory fight of Lopez? I think it's better for Lopez to fight another name now or give Loma that rematch.

The last news I heard about this fight is that they might move to another venue, (I will search on the link), and then another date, at least another week pushed.

So this might have irked Kambosos team again that's why they wanted to default the purse.

The fight should definitely had to happen, George Kambosos is the mandatory and they have to settle and sit down again and fight this October.

5471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] JOSHUA vs USYK on: September 28, 2021, 10:59:43 PM
It seems that Joshua will exercise for a rematch, Usyk has somewhat confirmed it and the target date is Feb-March.

Mentally it will be tough for Joshua, but maybe he thinks he can reclaim all his belt and adjust on the rematch. Probably if everything has settled down, the fight could be officially announce late December or early January 2022.

And then fight the winner of Fury vs Wilder III for a unification of the major belts.

Quote
"When we were talking to Oleksandr about the rematch, he wasn't upset. On the contrary, he was happy. He was glad and said: 'Oh, cool! I will beat up Anthony twice!'

"The approximate time that Eddie Hearn announced at the press conference after the fight, February-March, is indeed true."

"We can talk about the unification of all the belts only after Fury will have a boxing match again Wilder, and they determine the champion, and after our rematch with Anthony," Usyk said.

"Of course, I would like very much to have this unification match."

Jonas Sultan will replaced John Riel Casimero.

Quote
A deal was reached to relocate the fight to this Friday’s show in Liverpool. However, video evidence surfaced of Casimero (31-4, 21KOs) using a sauna, which is strictly prohibited in close proximity of any fight in the United Kingdom. The video somehow made its way to the BBBofC, who immediately ruled that the Filipino was barred from fighting this weekend.

5478  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Great Thing is about Bitcoin on: September 16, 2021, 11:35:00 AM
Today Morning, One Thing came in my mind. BTC is really an amazing concept not only for the rich people while the for poor also, because no one can control the price of btc. For example, at 2017 -2018 if you are invested in btc then right now you can collect a huge amount to use like in education , in health, in your family or your future plan.

It has no boundaries, but still the rich can control on how the game is it played, and they are called whales. They are individuals or institutions who own a lot of bitcoins. Of course, majority is still the retails investors and average joe investors just like you and me.

You don't have to look further, just look at what is the price last March 2020, when the world was grip about the news of a virus and a lockdown, the price of bitcoin and any other financial market goes down very hard. We even hit the price around $3k.

But we have bounce back already as we have reach $64k this year. So bitcoin is a form of invested, nevertheless it has a lot of ups and downs so it's not a guarantee that you can collect huge amount and use it in education or your family. There is still a big risk involved.
5479  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bull market is back on: September 16, 2021, 11:03:27 AM
~
As I have said previously, the market is very undecided. But it just reach $48k, which I don't think it's possible so my TA is invalidated. But still can hold true if we can't break that $50k big barrier again. Previously it took us several attempts to breach it and sustain it up to $52k before the crash happened.
We cannot call this a huge crash just around 10% correction which was normal every week a few years back and now when we go through patches like that everyone panics  Grin. It might take a few weeks to cross the $50k barrier but ultimately we will see the market breaching those with ease once the bulls are active. When the price first crosses $50k i thought there will be a barrier and we will have a correction but the price did not stopped their and kept on rallying which was surprising.

Bitcoin just crossed $48k again, so I guess we are really back into the bullish mode. I thought that September might be a pain to see, specially after that flash crash that we've seen recently. And hopefully this is the last crash that we are going to felt for this month and see the price breaching that $50k'ish somewhere next week or at least the end of this month. $52k is going to be good as well, but we will see how far can we go. History tells us that if bitcoin goes down hard, the price will bounce back more than the price it crash so hopefully more than $52k is on the horizon.
5480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: September 16, 2021, 05:39:49 AM
Lopez has 75% KO, while Kambosos has 53%, and Lopez is younger among the two.
Lopez has more better statistic, experience, and ages. Both of boxers has similar style very aggressive with good footwork, I wonder which one will play more defensive.

At certain point in the fight, I think Kambosos will be the one to play defense, specially if he can't take the power of Lopez early one.

I saw Kambosos is more prepared and training his self to able challenge Lopez, this will be one of excited fight on next month. I guess this fight will be ended as draw because of the hype of both trash talkers.

He is extra motivated and it seems that this is getting personal. So we might see a good fight in the first four rounds and then play defense if anyone gets hurt on the exchange. Unless they really wanted to go all out for full 12 rounds and wanted to score a knock out.
