Why did this fight never happen?

[MarzB]

Fighters are supposed to fight for titles and become champions, not for money.

Where the hell did this altruistic bullschit notion arise from?? Also who the hell are YOU or anyone else here (when you're NOT taking the risk) to say what should be anyone's drive, fuel, motivation in what they fight for? Seriously answer that?

You're FAN when it's all said and done. You're not the person thats away from their children calls for them and they're not there where the mother has to deal with the kids crying. That sounds corny I know but considering you're not even 30 years old it's no wonder you have such immature viewpoints.

The bottom line is whether a boxer chooses to fight for; money, women, notoriety, legacy within the sport whatever. It has not only no bearing on you but "YOU" don't factor into what in the end they have to live with..

Maybe thats why you're a Floyd Mayweather CERTIFIED hater in that he tells you flat out "FUCK YOU, I LIVE MY LIFE FOR WHATS IMPORTANT TO ME NOT YOU" and for some reason you think you have some right into his or any other fighters lives to say "no, as a boxing fan you owe me this". When in fact NONE OF THEM owe you ANYTHING!

Marz dude that's some rant. But as Jules Winnfield says in Pulp Fiction, "please allow me to retort."

You make some valid points but surely we the fans also have a right to express our opinions? These guys, the top guys are multi millionaire's but who do you think pays their wages? We do. The fans. Without us these guys would be fighting for kicks on the streets.

No I don't think that automatically means they have to do everything we the fans dictate, because ultimately if we don't like it we can choose to vote with our wallets, but on forums like this you can be damn sure that myself and others are going to have our say.

The problem with Floyd and one you haven't addressed is that he makes some outrageous claims such as being better than SRR. Now problem is if you're just fighting for the biggest bucks and the least risk (as he appears to be currently doing) then he better shut the fuck up when it comes to that grandiose bullshit.

You can't have it both ways Marz. I personally have no problem with PBF fighting various easy beats and midgets, I do have a problem with him pronouncing himself as the greatest of all time. You see the difference?
