Wished I did not exist on earth is more like it.

I would not exist on earth had he not been the person who fathered me. Yea he wishes I didn't exist. No harm and your somewhat right. I should not worry... but what can you do? He is still my dad.

This is not about Oscar. Look at who is running things now.
Richard! Do you think Richard cares about the sport or the regulations of boxing?
Richard has one goal.
TO USE OSCARS POPULARITY TO MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS HE CAN IN ORDER TO OPEN UP A FREAKIN BANK.
That's his motive behind being the CEO of Golden Boy. His father opened banks in Geneva
And this has always been his dream as well. Richard, (not Oscar) controls operations. (The psychologist controls Oscar for Richard).
Hopkins was needed to sign the young black fighters who wanted nothing to do with Oscar.
Shane wouldn’t sign...Until Richard made his wife an offer that he would not refuse.
As far as the Margarito fight? The dance was so well rehearsed possibly because they trained together in Porta Rico.
Why no fight with Mayweather yet? He has not been offered enough? Or simply not interested in what you call conspiracies.... Oscar must retire a world champion in order to produce the financial gain Richard has his mind set on. His Hispanic Banks.
YEA, OPEN UP YOUR DOOR AND TAKE ANOTHER GANDER I THINK YOU MIGHT SEE A BLACK HELICOPTER AFTER ALL!

This is nothing more than just a money fight.

After all, professional fighters are essentially there for the money and paid for the entertainment provided...

Likewise, I'm not buying this fight, simply because the outcome is so predictable.

It's going to be a unanimous decision for Sugar Shane Mosley...

For those who don't want to shell out $40 or so for a PPV event...two options:

1) Go to a sports bar....or

2) Wait a week later and watch it on HBO.

What reason is there to boycott boxing on PPV? I mean..(no offense to any fans of this)..if we were talking about that WWE nonsense..maybe. However, even in that case, if enough fans want it...give to 'em. PPV subscription is optional; no-one is holdin' a gun to ya head to make you push the 'BUY' button on ya remote. There are always the two options mentioned above for the anti-PPV cats to exercise...

I think you've got a very good point there.

However, watching tv commercials, I'm often confused what exactly it's all about.

I've seen an almost naked Paris Hilton washing a car, but it was an ad for Carl Jr's sandwich.

And I've seen another almost naked pretty model, but she was just selling cars.

In my distant youth, I've been wisely advised to get married, because if I'll find a good wife, I will be happy.

However, if I get a bad one, I will become a philosopher.

After seven failed marriages, I ought to be a very good philosopher by now.

Anyway, I'll still buy PPV, but only for good fights...

Boredom is the result of too much consumerism and too little sex. Read a book, you might like it and it will relieve the boredom.

If it's on PPV, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to buy them everytime.

I buy PPV only for fights I deemed to be interesting and exciting.

Watching occasional PPV fights is certainly a much better alternative to an otherwise boring weekend.

After all, boredom is a lethal killer...

It is absolutely rediculous for the average person to fork out $40 - $50 for a couple hours of boxing that is more likely to be bad than good!

PPV is a rip-off, and until we refuse to buy it, they will continue to rake-in the money. Also, PPV makes for greedy fighters who pick and choose their opponents and angle for that big payday. Let's make the bums have to fight for a living.

BOYCOTT ALL PPV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
