I didn't watch it, but I'm guessing that's Guerrero's dad talking about beating up the wife beater?

I'd love to see Ruben vs Floyd Sr.

When is Mayweather going to fight somebody that I could actually pull for?

Guerrero's a cool dude you can pull for. The dopey gun dustup aside, he's got a good story.

He's basically the complete opposite of Mayweather.

Yeah, that was rough last night. I thought Guerrero would make it more physical, but he had a hard time getting anything off on the inside.

I hate Mayweather so fucking much.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...I'd like to see him and his dad both tied to a plow.

It's weird in that it would be nice to see Mayweather finally get clocked by someone, but it wouldn't be good for boxing.

A lot of guys can make more money fighting on his undercard than they can headlining an HBO Boxing After Dark, or even a Championship Boxing card.

Even with the ridiculous purses he's pulling (minimum $32 million last night), he brings so much money that getting on the televised undercard of his fights is a huge financial boon for a lot of guys.

I think it was Shelly Finkel, all time legendary manager IMO, who noted that less than 10 guys probably make about 85% to 90% of the money in boxing, with everyone else picking up the scraps. Might have been someone else.

Mayweather reportedly made $85 million last year between his one fight and endorsements/other business. I'll bet he clears that easily since he's supposed to fight again on 9/14.
