Pumicestone,
we probably need to drop this line of questioning.
Mayweather has actually been CONVICTED of domestic abuse.
It isn't a rumor.
CNN has even done reports on it.
The entire nation of Australia won't even let him ENTER the country.
This stuff is pretty well reported across the entire planet, since Mayweather is internationally known.
Here's an article by CNN.

No worries Angel. See if you can get your head around this.
I reckon, without a shadow of doubt, the moon is made out of green cheese.
Are you expected to believe that just because I said so OR
should I be expected to prove it if I want to be believed ?
Same thing.
YOU made the statements, YOU provide the evidence.
In any debate/discussion, the person making the claim is expected to be able to support that claim.
That is common sense.

Sorry Max. Your last post was not visible when I replied to Angel.
You're right. I''m wasting my time.
It was just a matter of principle.
I have no illusions that the guy is an angel. And I am well aware that he has had convictions and that he's not welcome in Aus.
None of which means that EVERY wild claim that Angel made is true.
Fair enough. Anybody can make any defamatory statement they like about anyone and not be expected to back it up.
I've been booked for speeding. Guilty as sin.
Must be fine to say that I've also run over two cats, a dog, three children and their grandmother.
No evidence needed.

Is this proof enough for you?

Aw, you should have added where he was found guilty and sent to serve behind bars.
See how easy that was for you? You didn't go into a venom filled rant. You didn't abandon all indications of Christian charity to call a woman a liar in defense of a little man that beats his woman and threatens his kids with a gun.
You simply entered a few keywords and found what everyone was aware of if they saw the headlines years ago.
Thank you.
Though I doubt I'll get an apology from that which called me a liar prior. And their buddy that backed up their behavior either.
That's OK. Floyd is still a domestic batterer who pled guilty to avoid a felony trial. I hope he's lights out tonight in Vegas.

This would have been a good fight 10 years ago...now theyre both just old men. Mayweather 38..PacMan 36...I would have been more excited had not Marquez knocked Pacman out last year after a round and half. I dont see how the world is so hyped about this...Both fighters to make well over a 100 Million US dollars so we see whos laughing all the way to the bank...that being said i should close with a prediction....Mayweather in 6. Although I really dont like his arrogance one bit.
Pac Man will win this. I'd love to see it happen but I'll never pay for a PPV fight again.
I feel for those who paid PPV rates for MMA fights where Ronda Rousey, a female mixed martial arts champ, was top bill on the card. Last fight, and here PPV rate was near $75.00, she took out her opponent in 16 seconds. There were under cards of course but still, what amounted to people who wanted to see her fight paying $75 for 16 seconds of action? Yowza.

Not really.

I don't know what to tell you then, brother. It's not my job to prove anything to you. You can believe what you want. Public knowledge, though, that Mayweather was charged and arrested for multiple counts of domestic abuse. It's easy to find the information, but I know. It's someone else's job to send you said information.
There are a lot of people with your view. As a former boxer, I would say this... Boxing ISN'T the same thing as fighting. You are not "fighting" with the same techniques, emotions, or spirit as you would in a real fight. Sure, people can get knocked out. But 10 seconds later they get up unscathed and hug their opponent. A "knockout" is simply caused by the neck moving too rapidly which causes the brain to "reboot". It looks violent, but most people don't even feel a knockout punch.
I personally don't see how boxing/mma is an unchristian sport when you have Christian football players shattering their necks/spines, destroying their brains, and living the average lifespan of a mere 45 years. The worst injury you can expect from boxing is a broken nose. MAYBE a detached retina if you have been able to survive the plain crashes and lighting strikes that you statistically should have been involved in beforehand.
With the new safety features of most competition/sparring equipment in combat sports, you don't even have to worry about brain damage nowadays.

That's his MO whenever he's in the ring with a superior fighter that can smash his perfect record. What did he have to lose? He was guaranteed, no matter what turned out in the fight, 100 million dollars. In other words, he got paid 100 million just for showing his face in the ring.
He's a dirty fighter too.The films of his fights show that when he's being out matched as he does allow himself to go one on one with an opponent, he'll headbutt or he'll give a whack to the junk. Or, he'll get a decision that at times has even the commentators left with their mouths open because no judge saw the same fight they did in order to grant Mayweather that win. Hey, Floyd "money" Mayweather. Judge(s) with not as much money. It's easy to figure out.
They said there won't be a rematch, but this was pretty much predicted. It'll either be a tie, or one will win by decision alone and the fans will want to see a rematch to see a true decision left in the gloves of the fighters. Not the hands of the judges.
It's a shame. People paid thousands for ringside seats just to watch Floyd run around in the ring.
