i can't tell where that pic is pulled from, but cbs sports reports $600 too, though with kickers


just a tragic decision by nate either way, with the added bonus of knicks fans catching strays because of his footwear

Yup, CBS is just citing Marc Raimondi there, who clarifies it is $600 due to the California commission state minimum of $100 per round.

I’ve seen news that he had back surgery in 2017, but no other details. Doesn’t look to be from his 2012 neck surgery.

That video is from like 2003 and he stopped fighting in 2005 so I would've assumed he'd have surgery way earlier than that, but I don't really know, might've had several.

I have zero interest in boxing generally but the idea of seeing Logan Paul get his rear end beat by a real boxer is pretty loving compelling.

TBF I'll just end up watching some clips or whatever so I won't actually be paying anything for it (god forbid).

You know, at the time of posting I had in my mind Mike's exhibition and was thinking I don't wanna watch Floyd play-fight with youtubers for easy millions, but I'm now thinking back to the Tenshin exhibition and uh, he did not hesitate to try and knock Tenshin in to orbit.

So yeah, if he's really gonna go after him, I'd wanna see it.

No, you can't beat the best boxer on the planet even by accident even if you outweigh him by 50lbs

Yeah that's kinda how I feel about it too, if Floyd was like a 120~ lb guy and Logan was a 250 lb lifelong bar bouncer or something, maybe, but as it is I think it's actually the most dangerous fight for his opponent, since Conor and Tenshin at least both had combat sports experience. That's again, assuming that Floyd actually fights him rather than pretending to.

about billions

former rising star who got done up by marcos maidana and his career was never the same; he’s a natural lightweight who fights 12 pounds heavier than that and as such doesn’t have the power to really compete

he’s a counterpuncher and is an interesting thought experiment along the lines of “what if floyd mayweather wasn’t skilled enough to move up in weight”

also he beats women (allegedly but he’s been charged multiple times soooo), so i wouldn’t root for him; he’s also obnoxious in and out of the ring if that kind of thing turns you off more than choking waitresses

Oh that last part is probably why I've heard his name. Welp.

Watch Floyd show up fat like Askren and take a dive for a half a billion dollar pay day.

What is a lot of money to Ben Askren might not be a lot of money to Floyd Mayweather. Also Mayweather can probably knock his opponent out with about as much effort as it took Ben to fall over.

Has that ever happened before? Somebody died in the middle of a boxing match from a savage blow?

I've heard it happen in UFC a couple of times but not in a boxing match.

List of deaths due to injuries sustained in boxing

One death a few weeks ago, four in 2019. Overall...yeah, it happens.

Fatalities in mixed martial arts contests

This list is less well organized and MMA is much newer so everything on it should be roughly the last 30 years, I am unaware of any deaths resulting from UFC fights, but it seems like it does happen in MMA overall, especially in unregulated or poorly regulated amateur bouts.

Woodley went on a show called "The Titan Games" and was put up against a high school teacher in an obstacle course, and he got completely obliterated because he gassed so hard after the first couple of obstacles that he could barely stand up.

In his defense it was immediately obvious that Woodley had never seen any of the obstacles before and the teacher seemed very familiar with them, also:

His website posted:

I am currently a high school basketball coach, assistant baseball coach, slow-pitch softball player, amateur powerlifter, and full-time outdoorsman.

So maybe not quite just "a high school teacher" :shrug:
