Carbajal family feud
Hall of Fame former junior flyweight champion Michael Carbajal will be rooting against his nephew, Keenan Carbajal (23-2-1, 15 KOs), 30, of Phoenix, when he meets featherweight titlist Leo Santa Cruz (37-2-1, 19 KOs) in 10-round nontitle bout on Feb. 5 (Fox Sports PPV) in the Keith Thurman-Mario Barrios co-feature at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Michael Carbajal was not happy to have his name invoked in the promotion of the fight and issued a terse release that pulled no punches on an estranged trio of family members — his brother Danny, nephew Keenan and niece Josephine — as he attempted “to clear any misconceptions that suggest or imply his support or endorsement of Keenan Carbajal.”

The release, emailed to boxing media as an “urgent message,” said: “Any assumptions that he is rooting for Keenan Carbajal are completely unfounded. To the contrary, Michael Carbajal will be rooting for Leo Santa Cruz to win and expects an early knockout victory. The animosity between Michael Carbajal and the Keenan/Danny/Josephine Carbajal faction absolutely cannot be understated. There is no merit to any claim that Michael has any involvement, association, or affiliation with Keenan, his fight career, or any part of his life.

“Further, Michael is not involved with Keenan’s trainer, Danny Carbajal, or Josephine Carbajal in any way, shape, or form. Michael Carbajal has never had and will never have any association with Keenan or any member of his team, which has misrepresented and violated the actual Carbajal family.”

And the undercard isn't even that great either to justify the price. If they were gonna charge that much at least they could've stacked the card with some great matchups

I love this sport but man it really makes you shake your head sometimes

here's what doesnt make sense to me...PBC puts this nonsense (a card suitable for regular FOX) as a 75 dollar PPV..2 good/solid fights, a poor co main, and a WBC eliminator between a man who hasnt won a fight in 3 years vs an unranked welter, coming up in weight no less, who is coming off getting bodied by a blown up lightweight :hhh:..yet the PBC VP Tim smith fixes his mouth to say that theres no money in a Crawford vs Spence fight which is a fight ppl are asking for and has a barrier removed...like these mufukkas got to make it make sense :mindblown:
