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.

Re: Master class: The Press Conference
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.

I think the best we can hope for is that this smart mowf'ed pickaninny got ass raped in jail and dies of teh AIDS.
Re: Master class: The Press Conference
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.
