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.”
