I was talking specifically about this issue and not the past

It’s not the past is it? The smelly vagina and pillow on the head comments are recent. He’s scum.

SharonasCorona · 02/04/2020 16:59

Totally agree @Thymelord

DamnYouAutoCarrot · 02/04/2020 17:18

@Guyonhere1 @IVFNewbie a joke is something people find funny. Clearly not a lot of people did find this funny. Both male and female.

Nowhere in his video did he say it was a joke. He's in the public eye, like it or not, this comes with responsibility.

If you agree that this is OK. I'd suggest you research what's going on with DV right now. People are being murdered in their own homes and this 'joker' is inciting those vile perpetrators. Wise up.

Notredamn · 02/04/2020 17:24

In that case, Guyonhere, I'm wondering how ethical it is to send a man into a boxing ring, who doesn't have the capacity to understand that he has followers who would see his misogyny fest, nor has the faculties to grasp what a joke is or isn't.
Very troubling.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 02/04/2020 17:26

He meant it as a joke, but it hasn’t come across as a joke.

Ok. Let’s say he did mean it as a joke. What’s the funny element? Women being assaulted? Is that what he believes his fans will find amusing? I can’t see anything else that might possibly be the “punchline” Hmm of the joke. So what you’re saying is he finds assaulting women a funny thing to think about. How does this make him any less pondscum?

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 02/04/2020 17:30

Billy doesn’t understand he’s in the public eye and that hundreds of thousands of people follow him.

  1. how is that relevant to how appalling his behaviour is? It’s appalling whether he showed his video to one person or a million.

  2. genuine question: does he have a learning difficulty? Otherwise I don’t see how he wouldnt understand that lots of people would see his video.

JackiFazaki · 02/04/2020 17:43

Of course BJS knows he is in the public eye and lots of little dickheads follow him.
What a stupid thing to suggest he doesn't know this.

LexMitior · 02/04/2020 17:49

Oh ffs the reason he did it is to upset people. He’s an unpleasant moron who treats women like muck. I mean, he generates his own evidence by promoting it.

Men who do this kind of stuff like to do so to show they are “big men” to other men. They don’t think about women. Except they are annoying.

The man’s a bully.

Guyonhere1 · 02/04/2020 17:56

@DamnYouAutoCarrot I respect him as a boxer, but not as a person

SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace · 02/04/2020 17:59

@Guyonhere1 are you quite well? You're making yourself look like a twat.

Guyonhere1 · 02/04/2020 17:59

@SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace can you elaborate please?

SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace · 02/04/2020 18:01

You have come on to a post about a vile cretin of 'man' purely to defend him. There is no defending him without making yourself look foolish. He is scum. Woman hating scum who should be locked up.

Make your mind up, Guy!

Guyonhere1 · 02/04/2020 18:11

One thing I do know is about boxing, and unfortunately, even if they suspend him for a set time (x months), he can still fight anywhere else, like in the US

JackiFazaki · 02/04/2020 18:16

I respect him as a boxer, but not as a person
Grin
We don't respect him as a person. Glad you agree.

Follow @ChrisEubankJr*

So @bjsaunders_ a women beating, COVID-19 hoaxing, drug abusing, police impersonating Moron... oh yeah paid a vulnerable women to punch an innocent man in the face as-well. How many more chances is this idiot going to get before his license is taken away for a good amount of time

Its a verified account by the way, not a hoax.^

Guyonhere1 · 02/04/2020 18:31

Chris Eubank Jr is probably the same as BJS. The only reason he said that was because BJS beat him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Eubank and BJS share the same views.

JackiFazaki · 02/04/2020 18:53

Guyonhere1 Hilarious!

SharonasCorona · 02/04/2020 18:59

Chris Eubank Jr is probably the same as BJS

Any evidence to back that up? Or should we just believe you because you ‘know boxing’?

Guyonhere1 · 02/04/2020 19:01

@SharonasCorona
I’m saying that he might have a motive for saying those comments. I never accused him of anything.

JackiFazaki · 02/04/2020 19:03

The matter is being closely monitored by the WBO, with its President Francisco ‘Paco’ Valcárcel immediately condemning the action.

“[Billy] Joe Saunders’ recent actions are unacceptable,” Valcárcel publicly declared. “With his conduct, he failed his family, his friends, and his fans. The WBO will follow the British Boxing Board of Control’s investigation carefully before taking any further action.”

BJS faces losing his title.....a cancelled fight in the US is the least of his worries Guy.

JackiFazaki · 02/04/2020 19:05

So what''s President Valcarcels "motive" then *Guy?
