    Can we get GBP aware that they need spanish translators?

    On twitter or something, heres the most recent proof if you need some convincing.


    Just read the headlines for

    "Marcos: What will Mayweather do, move more?"

    Thats not what Maidana said, its off .

    Just check out the actual interview, at 2:05




    But in general, can they just get a pro to do the translations, instead of grabbing someone with broken spanish butcher the translation.

    Would also help Non spanish fans get a better, and more accurate portrait of the fighter.

    Something minor , but even the guy from the HBO interviews, Dejesus i think is his name, that guys spanish has gotten worst, lol wtf?

    They're all terrible. It's like the game of "telephone" that you'd play as a kid where you'd whisper a phrase into someones ear and it'd get passed around and in the end the phrase would be nothing like the original.

    Even during Maidana's short interview on Showtime this past Saturday Brian Kenny would ask a question, the translator would ask the wrong question to Maidana, who would then answer that wrong question, and then the translator would translate what Maidana said to Brian Kenny, of course, also wrong.

                In concur, boxing in general has some atrocious Spanish/English translators especially on HBO and Showtime. Cringeworthy stuff.

                    He adds alittle more pepper to the translation.

                    Lara: "La verdad es que Canelo no puede conmigo, soy mas rapido y intelligente"

                    Luis De Cubas: "The truth is Canelo can't hang with me, I'm quicker and more intelligent plus he has no stamina,heart and has been fighting nothing but Mexican taxi cab drivers"
