Fury Slams Gays, Says Klitschko is a Devil Worshipper!



By Edward Chaykovsky

Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury is no stranger to controversy. The unbeaten boxer has raised many eyebrows in the past and he's even been fined for his outlandish remarks by the British Boxing Board of Control.

Fury found himself in hot water years ago he accused David Price and Tony Bellew of being lovers, but his most recent interview with Daily Mail even made some of Fury's most loyal supporters do a double-take.

The Gypsy Warrior is very upset with the growing number of countries that are legalizing abortion and same-sex marriage.

“There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home: one of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other one’s pedophilia. Who would have thought in the 50s and 60s that those first two would be legalized?," Fury told Daily Mail.

“When I say pedophiles can be made legal, that sounds like crazy talk doesn’t it? But back in the 50s and early 60s, for them first two to be made legal would have been looked on as a crazy man again. If I would have told you 120 years ago, that a 1000-tonne airplane is going to float through the sky, a piece of steel — ludicrous”.

Fury returns to the ring on November 28th, when he challenges Wladimir Klitschko for the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight titles. For some reason Fury is convinced that Klitschko worships the devil.

“To be honest with you, I know Klitschko is a devil-worshipper. They are involved in bigger circles and stuff like that and they do magic tricks and whatever. You can go on YouTube and watch them playing with magic," Fury said.

“All these rock stars and singers and these famous people, it is common knowledge that they are all involved in an occult group of Satan-worshippers and all that sort of stuff”.

Pacquiao is Not Convinced Floyd Mayweather is Retired

Posted by: Edward Chaykovsky on 11/8/2015 .


By Edward Chaykovsky

Manny Pacquiao is not giving up in his quest to secure a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather decisioned Pacquiao after twelve rounds of action this past May at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao claimed that he entered the ring with a pre-existing shoulder that affected his performance during the fight. He says he further injured himself in the fourth round. The right shoulder was operated on a few days later.

The Filipino star believes the possibility of a rematch is very likely.

"It's possible -- very much," he told CNN World Sport at a charity event in Abu Dhabi. "I would love to have a rematch if he wants it."

Mayweather announced his retirement from the sport in September, after winning a twelve round decision over Andre Berto.

Pacquiao was pressed on the issue of Mayweather being retired, but he doesn't believe the pound-for-pound king is away for good. Mayweather announced his retirement on at least two other occasions and then eventually returned to action.

"Of course we hear from him many times that he has retired. It's not new for him," Pacquiao said.

Pacquiao himself is promising to retire after his next fight. He will return to the ring no later than April 9th of next year. The opponents being considered include Terence Crawford, Amir Khan and Timothy Bradley.

Clifford Etienne Nearly Killed in Prison, Given Transfer

Posted by: TMZ on 11/9/2015 .


By TMZ Sports

Former heavyweight contender Clifford "The Black Rhino" Etienne has found something new to live for while serving his 105 year prison sentence ... his love of painting.

Etienne made the big time when he fought Mike Tyson back in '03 ... but saw his life spiral downward after that ... and is currently serving time in Louisiana for armed robbery, kidnapping, and attempted murder of a police officer.

We spoke to Lynn O'Shea -- who handles Etienne's business affairs -- and she tells us he began painting while inside ... and that his passion for the craft may have saved his life.

"He's amazing. He took painting serious inside and after he earned trustee status he was actually able to become the warden's artist and sleep in his paint room. That kept him away from all the drama in gen pop."

O'Shea tells us that Clifford's paintings sell "very well" and his work has been displayed at several high profile spots around south Louisiana ... including one of the last places you'd expect.

"The city of New Orleans bought one that hangs in a district police department, if you can believe that."

Unfortunately, Etienne's had a rough go of it as of late ... he was transferred to a new prison after he was nearly killed in an attack in his paint room ... and O'Shea says it's taken a toll on him.

"Things slowed down after the attack. He used to make all his own canvas and stuff to paint on ... but now he's locked down. I'm hoping some friends from his past life as a boxer can help him out."

FLOYD MAYWEATHER CRUSHES PACQUIAO'S REMATCH TALK: "ALL BULLshyt...ONCE AGAIN, PIGGYBACKING OFF MY NAME"
By Ben Thompson | November 08, 2015
[​IMG]

"I'm in different cities in different countries and I hear people talking about Mayweather-Pacquiao 2. I guess people forgot about those different ESPN commercials. 'He really wants to fight? He's scared of me. He don't really want to fight.' They forgot about those ESPN commercials," stated retired undefeated former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, who recently spoke to FightHype.com and made it crystal clear that he has no intentions of coming out of retirement, let alone participating in negotiations for a rematch with 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.

Less than two weeks ago, Pacquiao posted a video on his Facebook account telling fans, "I don't know yet who's my opponent next, but we're still negotiating right now about the rematch with Floyd Mayweather, so hoping for that." Pacquiao, however, is either lying or he's being grossly misinformed by his adviser because according to Mayweather, any talk of a rematch is simply not true. In fact, even if Mayweather was still fighting, it doesn't sound as though he believes a rematch would even be necessary after his dominant unanimous decision victory.

"Once again, I dissected this fighter, the so-called 'best fighter of our generation'. I dissected him; probably was 10 to 2, really 11 to 1, but it's safe to say 10 to 2. 'Mayweather is so boring, he's this, he's that!' I'm boring enough to do the biggest and the best numbers in pay-per-view history," Mayweather explained before totally killing Pacquiao's hope for a rematch when he makes his return to the ring next April for what could very well be the final fight of his career. "It's all bullshyt. What they're doing is this, once again, piggybacking off my name to sell pay-per-view numbers when he do go out there and fight again," he added.

All Pac said was hes not sure he's truly retired for ever, which a lot of people believe and that he'd rematch him IF Floyd wanted to lol. But with that said Pacquiao should let it go and most certainly retire after his next fight, he's not the same guy he was years ago, time to walk away before he Roy Jones's his career.

He doesn't want to quit yet. Most guys don't after a decision loss, it's very difficult to walk away especially when an entire country is behind you. He's not fighting for Arum, if anything Arum wants Crawford to be the one and beat Pacquiao so he can be his "next star".

He's not fighting for Arum? Then why is he lying about being in negotiations to fight Floyd? Better yet, was he talking about being in negotiations with Floyd or being in negotiations with his pimp and how much of a cut he would be left with?

And he wants to pimp Crawford as well.

I didn't read he said he was negotiating with Floyd, I'm just going off what I quoted (the article hazel posted). If he said that, then pac is delusional.

The thing about Mike is there will always be two what if scenarios when you talk about him. What if Cus didn't die is one. What if he never went to jail is the other. IMHO, a prime Tyson beats a prime Holyfield inside of ten.

But yeah, props to Holyfield and his resume is better. 206 and I had a back and forth about Tysons and, for the most part, it is lacking when you compare the two.
