There was no way they was gonna give Crawford/Porter a fire undercard.
They only do that when that nikka fighting the mean machines and washed up amir khans of the world.

example of the above (non top rank) - eddie's new hampshire card :heh: and quite possibly lopez-kambosos card

Interesting read, this story was actually edited from its original version I'm assuming at the manager's request because he had said some other things about Top Rank that got removed.



Although Benny accepted it and moved on, he said, there were still some things he wanted to get off his chest. “The reality is there are color and cultural lines in boxing, and you have to fit into one of those lines. Unfortunately, dark-skinned Dominicans do not fit in either of those lines. Where do you take a Dominican fighter to sell out a stadium? I’m not the first one to say it as Bernard Hopkins has been very adamant about the same issues.”

Benny continued, “I heard some things being said by people from Top Rank, but if it was such a problem, then why didn’t you release us beforehand? It is what it is. We appreciate what they did for us and now its time to move on.”

More active than Gary Russ, I hope the next time he hops in front of a camera and complains about Youtubers invading boxing they tell his shiftless ass that.
the longest reigning world champion in boxing today will be alright

Don't see Ennis be a 147er much longer, looks big at the weight

Rollie will be cut from that PPV, bring in someone else, imo Showtime won't roll the dice on someone that just got into a sexual harassment case, if the story catches flames they gonna be put on blast too for trying to force dude fighting on their platform despite the allegiations.

a judge postponed Floyds jail sentence so he could squeeze in a Cinco De Mayo fight real quick before :mjlol:
obviously Rollie ain't on Floyd level but boxing handles PR stuff different than these other sports I think
i doubt this thing gets big enough to cause a real stir. looking at the OG tweet it only has 350 retweets
