Boxing involves trading punches, fighter are paid shi*t load of money to beat each other up not run scared and win on points.

Strategy is key in boxing but the ultimate aim of every strategy should be to inflict punishment on the other fighter & then knock him out.

Gone are the days when fighters entered into the ring with intentions to knock the other fighter out and prove he's the better man. Now fighters step into the ring with intentions of pillow fighting for 12 rounds and then get paid more than an average person earns in a lifetime.

Fighter are paid that much because of the risk they take, you can't have it both ways. So if all you wanna do is strategise all day without actually fighting, then boxing is not the sport for you.

Then stop watching. these guys got 20+ KO before emerging champion. They ain't fighting to make you smile but fighting to entertain you and make their dough.

Guys! Guys!! I know boxing is about intelligence but lets not forget it's also a brute sport. If you want to see just intelligence at work, then go watch the chess masters. I wanna see blood, sweat, and cut.

Have you ever wondered why boxing isn't really popular again?

Watch this fight below and tell me, you wouldn't pass pick this over se*x

Please compare this to last night'a fight, and tell me which would you have loved to pay to see. If you answer is yesterday's fight then I guess we have different ideas of what boxing is.

This is computer/internet era bro. Nowadays, we calculate, computerize, and strategize before taking actions. In those days they fight for peanuts cos they got no other source of income likewise soccer, then they hardly buy a car talkless of getting a good home of their own so winning is paramount and the leeway to be successful. Ask yourself this simple truth, will you be quarter wealthy like Pacman not even Floyd and put your face to be condemned? Answer is NO, or Messi and C.Ronaldo and put your leg in tackle to condemn your future cos you wanna be a Hero. These fighters and players ain't fools, WIN, DRAW or LOSE they still make a whooping amount of $$$$$Millon$$$$$? Lets be realistic, gone are the days you use because of roasted snake fish to burn your hands.... There's an adage in Urhobo that says, 'A giant has to be brilliant so he can live long'. They're both successful and brilliant.

Business › Re: Xenophobia: MTN Nigeria Warns Of 6,000 Job Losses by edpunter(m): 10:20am On Apr 21, 2015

The treats from South Africans to neighboring countries needs to be dealt with harshly cos they see other black countries as parasites. If you ever stayed or worked in South Africa you will know and understand xenophobia is normal for their men, they see foreigners as threat to their wife's, jobs and way of living cos they are lazy, I don't think it can be easily changed. Have you ever watched Champions League match that co-incidentally falls within their league in Sunnyside Pretoria bar? You will see how they dislike other black country men cos they prefer to Watch Pirates vs Black Ace in all the TV's than Chelsea vs Barcelona final in none of the TV's and prefer to watch SABC to CNN or Aljazeera, that's where you know this people are still primitive, all they need is exposure, hardly you find their citizens travel, it's only 1 out of 20 that have international passport. Well, If Nigeria MTN closes the hatred will increase and that will hurt more foreigners in SA than Nigeria. Please lets stop Xenophobia by educating them not destruction of people and properties.

Stop fooling yourself. If they have spiritual powers to make money why involving people? Multiply your coin and stop begging or involving newbies.
