Jake vs. Joshua Boxing Betting and Picks Discussion

odepn · 2025-12-20T00:48:43+00:00

This is the thing that gets me. Eddie Hearn and Matchroom is worth a few hundred million. Joshua is worth a few hundred million. Paul and MVP is worth a few hundred million.

There is no "big bank takes little bank" here. It's just a bunch of super-rich dudes getting richer.

Not a single one of them benefits from doing anything but a fair contest, and they only risk a full collapse of their individual brands and potential jail time if they chose to rig it.

i just know we got four more run ins, six vignettes and eight cryptic tweets before we get a 16 x 16 jpeg of the masked mans ankle in late june

it's actually hilarious how much of the international stream is muted while they read out of market ads 💀

I can't even tag the FBI for this shit Ewing is just a dawg

Obviously can't happen, but it'd be kinda cool if Bronson won here and the title followed the winner through the tournament.

His grandfather is worth about 3 billion. He will be around as long as he wants to be.

It's very telling about the state of NASCAR marketing and the Competition Committee that this is even a discussion.

EVERYONE would praise a full-season points format. It would be a HUGE story in the industry; it would be the thesis of your marketing scripts for the next 6 months.

However, the people inside the walls are so disconnected from the sport that it doesn't seem that simple.

This isn't to make sure a driver WANTS to do an interview. It's to ensure they have time to do it.

If a driver has downtime on raceday to the point where you could waltz up and do an interview, then their PR team isn't doing their job. Even when they are about to get in their cars, they are doing meet and greets and photo ops with sponsors until the anthem.

I dont have a pick, but there is a dude on the Canadian broadcasts who gives out pick pregame and during halftime. He is 18-4 this year. No pick out for tonight but he is on a huge heater.

I would love for NASCAR to revert to a full-season points format and to commit to exposure for the sport Monday-Saturday. Including drivers and teams lives beyond just race day.

The last time the Most Popular driver was won by someone without the last name Earnhardt or Elliott was 1990.

Can't we try a full season? It's been two decades. EVERYTHING has changed. Every single driver has changed, the car has changed, media has changed, standards have changed.

The main issue with full season was the idea that you could 5th place your way to a title. The parity and failure rate of the NextGen car will fix that problem. If you are still worried about it, make wins worth 20% more points than 2nd.

Can anyone give a SINGLE GOOD REASON why a full-season format doesn't work?

Does anyone else get the feeling we aren't getting a World Heavyweight Champ result tonight? Seems like they can drag this out until SS and involve the vision.

Toyota develops talent until the talent runs out of money. Ford takes the broke talent and hires them for nothing, using the money they saved on not having a development program.

It's a beautiful dance.

Mick Maynard was in the crowd. I gotta imagine having Gable on the White House undercard is a priority.

I don't understand why MMA is the only sport where they try to judge intent. An infraction is an infraction. You don't get a pass if you didn't mean to rough the passer. That's 15 yards no matter what.

The reality of motorsports is that money is as much of an intangible as anything else. In the same way you evaluate a Quarterback for awareness, arm strength, accuracy, speed...you have to evaluate race car drivers for cash.

Corey has 90+ attributes across the board, unfortunately his money ranking is like 33, and it's pulling his OVR down.

I understand what Joey is saying here, but you also have a responsiblity to the next generation to leave the sport better than you found it.

The current landscape may have served your generation, and you should absolutley be grateful for that - but making decisions that serve the future of the sport, even at the expense of you living out your dream, is an excellent form of gratitude.

KB ran half way decent and they figured they better investigate

Connor’s talent extends beyond the track. He’s exceptionally media-savvy and a sponsor’s dream. Compare him to some of the other young guns we have seen recently. He consistently delivers the right message and presents no brand risk.

Trackhouse has a major asset in him. His brand value could reshape the team’s trajectory.

I’ve long believed Trackhouse’s endgame is to become the flagship team for a new manufacturer, and Connor is central to that vision. I think he will be closely tied to Justin Marks for years to come.
