Brehs, is Danny Jacobs lowkey gay? He's giving off some suspect vibes in this interview. Favorite movie is Titanic? Favorite artist is Frank Ocean? I don't care and I'm a fan either way but dude seems suspect. I remember he was acting real weird with Chris Algieri leading up to his GGG fight too in that 24/7.

idk if they paying their relatives for sparring like that...



Top fighters usually pay their sparring partners, idk how much though...

an example

Raymundo Beltran: The fighter and his shadow

"Pacquiao was training for a bout with Juan Manuel Marquez when he first procured Beltran's services as his sparring partner at the Wild Card gym here. The pay -- $500 a week for seven weeks -- was more than Beltran's biggest purse at the time. He began earning it just seconds into their first round, when Pacquiao stung him with a one-two punch."

It feels like there is going to be a huge shift on who will be the face of boxing. Canelo and Joshua picked it up after Floyd retired in 2015; seems like both have a lot of controversy that they won't be able to overcome. I think Joshua could and would recover well and still make a shyt ton of money, but no way in hell does Canelo recover.

So who's next? Wilder? Spence? Lomanchenko? Crawford?

Out of those four, I think Wilder and Crawford have the best change. Both are already very well known. Unfortunately he has to go through Spence. Spence picked an awful time to become top dog (on paper) at Welterweight; not awful for him, but awful for the rest. He's a future HOF talent if everything goes right.

I have a subscription to the showtime streaming app. It's $10 a month. Definitely worth the money. Dunno how many times I've been up in here begging for a link when a showtime fight is on.

I do too. I like to download then and put them in my PS3. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do that since torrents went down.
