Lines used to consistently come out on Wednesday afternoons, but for whatever reason they have been on Thursdays more and more lately.

Makes it a bit tougher to prepare for the bouts, particularly Friday matches.

But, then again, a lot of sports, like baseball and basketball, have less than 24 hours from the lines being released to the games starting.

For boxing, it's kind of a bummer, though, because this generally means most books won't carry a line if there happens to be a boxing match on a Thursday - which occasionally there is. (this happened when Oleydong fought Rachman, which was in Thailand EARLY Friday AM. There was a line for the fight, but it never hit most books).
:shrug:

Gotta roll with the punches, as they say. Everyone is doing the best that they can.

This guy must be the only black dude in all of Ukraine
:mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

He should beat shitty Judah, but I don't trust anyone fighting for Roy Jones' company....these are the same people who think BJ Flores is the best cruiserweight in the world....

Looks like he pulled a Cotto. And I don't think that kind of act bodes well for his state of mind.

What is the the appeal of tats?

To me it just seems narcissistic and self absorbed. No one gives a shit about what a bunch of blurry colors and words mean to the tattooee yet they get them with the idea of "showing who they are" in mind.

This is HILARIOUS

No Hopkins-Jones rebroadcast

"Golden Boy Promotions has announced that Saturday?s Bernard Hopkins vs. Roy Jones Jr. pay-per-view telecast will only be available on pay-per-view and will not be shown on a delayed broadcast by HBO the following week, as is commonly the case. The company also announced that the $49.95 pay-per-view telecast will be aggressively monitored on the internet and any piracy and/or infringements will be legally dealt with in a swift and immediate manner. The main event is scheduled to begin live immediately following the college basketball semi-finals."

What a pathetic and desperate press release. So we can gather from this that:

1. Golden Boy is tracking the PPVs buys and, not surprisingly, they are very low

2. They are trying to remind people this is the only chance to catch this masterpiece - NO REPLAY!
:mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

3. Don't steal it or we will arrest you

4. It's on after basketball, so you don't have to miss anything...you can see both !

Golden Boy is such a disgrace - they just don't get it. As a fan, I read this press release and I am more offended by the language, than tempted to buy it. They come across as con artists.

Instead of stupid ass press releases like this, they should work harder on the production and promotion of the broadcast - I watched the countdown show Fox Sports is running this week (the 24/7 equivalent) and it was trash - complete trash. It looked like it had been edited together by an 8 year old in grades school. The footage was all old, the interviews were poorly lit and the audio was horrible. It certainly doesn't convince anyone this is a worthwhile, "can't miss" event.

Get a clue Golden Boy. How many years has Oscar and Schaefer been doing this now? It's just embarrassing.
