The biggest reason why those fights are bigger for PBF is that Bobby Arum has done a real poor job of promoting Margarito. He was coming off an impressive ESPN win and the Cintron win then got bumped when the Rahman-Klit fight was canceled...now he is set to headline a $40 ppv that noone but a portion of the Hispanic audience will see. PBF' people have shown an unwillingness to match up with Margarito (certainly this has some to do with the danger he would bring) but Arum isnt helping anthing by keeping his guy well under the radar. Remember evandersear, just because one guy beat another guy doesnt usually mean anything. Thats been shown time and time again in boxing. We had these examples already this year on Showtime. London papers are reporting that Hatton may in fact not take ANY tuneups and could indeed meet PBF on Apr8.

I would like to add that I saw some of an Allman Bros concert last summer and after hearing 'Midnight Rider' I started walking away to find my friends that had wandered away after gobbling some acid. The next thing I heard was 'Virgil Cain is the name and I served on the Danville train'...I immediately swiveled back to watch their awesome Band cover and then went to check the buds.

Yeah, if Zab brought his 'Garden game' to PBF it would have been worse than the Gatti massacre. Mayweather (or at least his people) dont seem to want any part of Antonio Margarito (who is set to get almost no exposure headlining an under-the-radar ppv for 40$ next month) as he is alot like JL Castillo only bigger/stronger and JLC gave Floyd a couple real struggles at 135. Hatton will probably take at least one tuneup fight in America...then, if there will be any welter superfight this year it will probably be Hatton-PBF. Great fight and Ricky definitly has a chance...though not as good as Margarito's would be.

Anyone have an opinion on this guy? Seems alright to me (I dont fear an overturning of certain laws if hes confirmed) and hes held up to some rather extensive self-indulgent questioning thus far. drudgereport is covering Alito's wife leaving the room crying a bit excessively for those interested...

Dandy Warhols - Godless

The plan turned out well...

In all seriousness....Tool should have a new cd out and a tour by Fall.

Are any of these voters embarassed at how stupid it looks that a guy isn't hall of fame material for 12 years...but on the 13th year of eligibility - WOOOO! Hell of a guy!

Damien Rice, nor Saul Williams, should be labeled 'jambands'...but, unfortunately, many people have this assumption that the Bonnaroo festival is nothing but jambands. Its not even close.

The Fallout: PBF appears to still be going ahead with the Apr8 date but (unlike with the Morales-Pacquiao situation for obvious reasons) will not be meeting Zab Judah. Despite what a few people think/hope it wont be against Antonio Margarito either. He will either meet Carlos Baldomir on that date, an equal opponent without a belt, or, less likely, meet Ricky Hatton. My guess is we'll have to wait until October or later for a chance of PBF-Hatton as Ricky has indicated he wants a couple tuneups first. Zab Judah, his father, and his fanbase have been very busy making excuse this week. He still wants the PBF fight but will probably have to settle for a Baldomir rematch or less for awhile. If anyone can find Cory Spinks maybe they will go a third time. Don King has said that Bell's first defense of the undisputed cruiser title will be against Steve Cunningham. Jean Marc Mormeck presumably wants a rematch and will probably get one (we can all look forward to that). Dale Brown is pleading for a title shot (he deserves it having barely lost a controversial elimination match to Bell last year) but is no better than third in line. Brown meets Felix Cora in another elimiator fight on ESPN soon and will have an even bigger mandate for a shot if he can win that.

I would just like to add that (in light of the recent ridiculousness about my 'jamband love' in the emo thread) if it werent for Neil Young's Greendale tour in '04 a Bonnaroo performance would have been the best show I had seen that year as well. Damien Rice. Maybe this year will have another personal fave at Bonnaroo...another jamband like Rice or Saul Williams.

You're calling My Humps and Lindsey Lohan boring, over-dramatic "faux-indie" tripe? LindsAy I think he's using "faux indie tripe" as a reason to say any Arcade Fire song is the worst of 2005 behind the other stuff. Redbaron still hasn't elaborated on his description, incidentally. TSM probably doesnt work for him yet. Aracde Fire is faux like Armani.

Penn State?

Yep.

Why did Heyman have to call in to report this 'producing' after the fact? Nobody at wwe bothered to call Heyman or watch videos or basically do any research on Joey's announcing style? This 'producing' thing shouldnt matter anyway....comnsidering how many other wwe announcers have had all their lines piped to them through an earpiece.

Hes sounded fine on the rare occasions that Ive caught Raw. He even sells the stupid shit going on convincingly....or at least tries to. Joey seems like a less-stuttering Jim Ross to me. What exactly is Vince looking for? More talk throughout the show about the McMahon family?

Will Dr. Dre and Axl Rose have new records out?

Well, after more than a day and a half it finally works for me. Is it safe to browse away though? Why is my keyboard on fire?

How much of tonights viewing audience will be surprised to find out that 'Big Time' is like 20 years old?

Deftones - Simple Man (skynyrd cover)

Or not.

I got the cruiser unification right...really good fight, already a FOTY candidate. Zab was lame tonight. His sleepwalking style cost him the fight, his title, and millions vs. PBF.
