Why did this fight never happen?

Ollie..

First we pray..

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Amen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (thank you one of my all time favorite scenes)

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.

I see you and I are different. I'm a huge sports fan in general. Stateside here, NBA (Pistons fan 4 LIFE, all Detroit teams including the Lions etc), tennis, etc. I LOVE IT.

I've come to realizing that these guys are HUMAN. A couple of guys I went to school with are in the pro's or were. Some are working in the field and I have some loose connections with my business. I say that not by any means to brag but to say I recognize they're NO different than YOU AND I. In fact a lot of them are worse but thats neither here nor there.

Sure we pay our money to watch them granted. But guess what? People expect ATHLETES (specifically) to do thing they DON'T do on their own jobs. How many people are happy with what they do for a living? Really? I'm willing to say less than 50%. Just because they earn lots of money which even I would think would be GREAT incentive to develop other skills (like defense, free throws, better passing routes, etc) guess what? Maybe their hearts just isn't in it SIMILARLY to folks on their own job.

Bottom line we pay and WE as fans have the OPTIONS to NOT pay. Which is why I love how one person posts here about PPV's regarding Mayweather but you know what, YOU HAVE A CHOICE.

I had season tickets to the Wolves(NBA) and now they're giving me better seats for half off. But I CHOSE NOT to do it because I didn't like the product they put on the floor even though I have NO alligiance to that team and I got tickets mainly for my enjoyment of basketball. Point is I exercised my choice.

These FIGHTERS don't have the same values, don't share the same religion as you but somehow they're supposed to and thats what I don't get in the end.

Now if you don't mind, Vincent needs his heroin shot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The fight announcements are still happening and I can't find a vein so let me answer your last question. The hell with what Floyd "SAYS" he is as it relates to history. That stuff goes in one ear out the other. For the record I think Whitaker, Hearns, Leonard, maybe Pryor, Looche, Robinson, Terry Norris even Meldrick Taylor ALL beat Floyd ok?

That stuff means nothing to me what he "SAYS". Maybe talk and banter mean little to me because I've heard plenty in my life..
