This pig........

The entire boxing media should be representing the anger of the fans towards the promoters and fighters about 2016. It has been an absolutely disgraceful year and the entire sport should be ashamed of itself. It's given us almost no reason to even be fans. Boxing sure as **** doesn't deserve fans if this is the way the sport is run.

I hoped things would get better once the Mayweather/Pacquiao saga ended, and instead it is worse than ever.

This pig........

IMO,

if you're a fat tub of lard,

you cant complain about sports.

that's just a personal rule of mine.

i agree with dab rafatael, boxing has ****** in 2016, but he cant complain.

because they are in the pockets of promoters..... they are covering. fighthype and the #newmedia for the al haymon crowd and the steve kims montoya for arum and top rank.....

Dan has no room to talk, he's biased and is in every fighter and promoter's pocket that shows him the slightest bit of attention. He's just as bad as Paco and the rest of these low life's that claim to care about the betterment of the sport.

I could care less about Dan's opinion, the only think I care is when he has breaking news, not what he wants. He is very emotional with boxers and i don't care for that either.

[Eff Pandas]

Boxing has been failing its US fans for several years now. Only Floyd, Manny & a few other guys/promoters/shows have represented a concern for fans in the US in recent years. As if you build it they will come, if you don't, they won't & boxing fans haven't come to boxing like they could if boxing business was more based on fans happiness.

Or maybe they are some $ in & $ out numbers that just make boxing in the US not worth it like fans & pundits alike would like to believe...idk. Or some other **** thats more black & white & un***y to discuss type **** is in play. Who f#cking knows.

[Canelo and GGG]

Wasnt so bad and still couple of fights to happen

... you would have been right if it only was an opinion... but it was a factual recap -- with practically nobody left aside.
