Lesnar made 400k and got a 180 day medical suspension. Cain got 100k base, plus another 100k for the win. Staging fights is for tomato can boxers, not these dudes.

I've been hearing "staged" alot over the last 2 days and that blows me away. Velazquez was/is an all around better striker and tactician. Outweighed by 20#'s and easily 100+ lbs of brute strength dude did exactly what was needed. weathered that early storm and picked shots and rocked Lesnar. It's happened in every fight Lesnar's been in in the UFC but those times he's been able to get the guys to the ground and use his size and strength. If Carwin would have had 30-40 more seconds, he'd be the champ but it didn't work that way. Unless Lesnar spends the next 6-8 months rehabbing and working his stand up game he'll be on his back bleeding in the rematch too. I'm kinda stoked on the next one in Nov, B.J Penn vs Hughes and Machida vs Rampage. No title fights on the card, but should be worth the watch.

thanks fella's. the wife and I were discussing that today about upsizing the truck either first or at the same time as a hauler purch...which would likely mean me selling one or both of my Harleys. The thought of that, a few years ago would have made me puke but I think it's time to get back to doing family stuff instead of daddy stuff and the kids can't come along on the bikes so the choice is pretty easy. We spent all day Sat going from dealer to dealer and the ones that did have some haulers on the lot were pretty slim. The JW, Findlay and camping world sales guys all slammed Carson products..hard. Was this warranted or just competition bashing? We only got to visit the hend Carson lot and checked out a few which were decent..filthy inside and out, but we got the point. I'm gonna put up some ads for my H-D's and see if I can off em. Then go truck shopping too I guess lol. Thats a whole new thread haha. I've never really cared much for trucks anyway, only got a Tundra because I've worked for Toyota for 14yrs, but we've never had heavy duty stuff so it never was an issue. I'll keep scouring craigslist and the want ads for a rig and a truck too I guess. Better calls wells fargo and see if they wanna loan a bro some $$$.

I've searched a couple years worth of back threads in the last few hours and gathered a ton of info, but am still lacking a few morsels. I'm really behind the 8 ball here and attempting to make a hauler purchase based on my toys, family size and truck capabilities. Problem is I can't get out of my truck anytime soon and it's not exactly a torque monster towing machine. It's an 06 Tundra 4.7 4wd. It's has the Toyota "tow package" which doesn't mean all that much but from what I've learned it means I can tow 6700#'s max. Which doesn't make my search very easy. My family size (4) and toys (450r, 300ex, 90ex) isn't changing so I need a decent sized rig. I've been looking at 20-24ft rigs but the weights vary greatly with these. If my math is right all 3 of my bikes come to 1000#'s almost exactly. That leaves me with 5700, now 100gals approx of water, 18-30gals of fuel and propane is somewhere in the 1000# range I think. That puts me at 4700 dry weight. Thats where I find problems, I'd like to be under the gross max of course to err on the side of caution so lets say 4000-4300 dry. I cant fit my situation in an 18fter comfortably and I'd like to have 2 queens preferably 3 queens so that usually means ft sleeper and min of 22ft. If I can get the rig I want/need now and nurse my Tundra along for a year or 2 until I can upgrade that would be perfect. I've read here many times not to under buy a hauler and go too small that I'd regret it. I did find that WW Zero Gravity's are quite light for their size but pricey to say the least. Any feedback is appreciated and if you can cite a thread I may have missed with all these answers that would be choice as well. Thanks in advance -mike
