2x...and defending
Dan Rafael chat wrap 2/13:
- Murray is a very good and durable fighter. Chance GGG could not get the KO, if he does get a KO it most likely happens in the second half of the fight (9-10).
- Jennings will get KO'd by Wlad.
- Showtime says they still have Khan under exclusive contract, Khan says they do not.
- Does not think Cotto fights Lara. He would be shocked if it happened.
- His sources say that an All-Star weekend announcement for Floyd-Manny is nonsense, just like the Super Bowl announcement rumors.
- Matthysse-Provodnikov is most likely happening. The March 28th date is not guaranteed.
- Campillo and Martinez were brought on by Haymon not as A-List fighters. If they win great, but they are most likely there to help be opponents for his A-list fighters.
- Does not see any chance of JCC-Hopkins happening.
- Peterson told him he had no trouble making 140 and 143 was Garcia's idea.
- Thinks that every day goes by (if the Floyd-Manny fight happened May 2) they are lowering the amount of revenue they could bring in.
- Revenue and promotion streams affected by shortened promotion window: consider that Tecate wanted to put Floyd-ODH on their cans and retail signage, DeWalt in the past has sponsored big fights and put signage in Lowe's - these are all things that take time to manufacture, execute, and need time to be in the market. The 76 days until May 2 really hampers that. Some sponsors are known and ready, there are still some that haven't been finalized yet.
- Stevenson's card on April 4 will very likely be on PBC, not Showtime. Stevenson doesn't even have an opponent yet.
- The 2009/2010 negotations were closer than these negotiations. Every thing had been agreed upon by Manny and Floyd except drug testing. That was it. No network holdups as they were both with HBO at the time.
- Having a hard time seeing who Ward can fight that a network will invest big money in (since he wants a tune-up), as well as the fact that HBO lineup is filled through May. Virgil Hunter says Ward wants 2 tune-ups in which he wants million plus paydays.
- Plenty of fighters have been cigarette smokers outside of the ring. Ricardo Mayorga was one.
- Having Floyd/Manny fight on Mexican Independence day in September makes sense, but doubts that happens as Floyd really wants May 2.
- Doubts that Mora fights GGG, as Mora is with Haymon.
- Showtime declines to answer why they have no fights scheduled outside of ShoBox.
- Feels like Mares is taking too many tune-ups. Mares next fight will most likely be on NBC SportNet after the main fights on NBC.
- Haymon is talking to ESPN about boxing broadcasting.
- He has gotten a butt dial from Bob Arum.
- Lemieux-N'Dam could be fighting for Taylor's stripped belt.
- Prime SRL vs. RJJ at Middleweight? RJJ.
- He does have an idea on some negotiating points that need to be worked out between Floyd and Manny, but not all of them.
- Believes that if Arum had his way, he would prefer this fight to be in September - now with the shortened promotion schedule a May 2 date would provide.
- He has heard that if the Floyd-Manny fight does happen, Jim Gray would handle Floyd interviews and Max Kellerman would do the Pacquiao interviews.
- Brian Kenny has still not resigned with Showtime yet.
- Has not heard what the PPV cost for Floyd-Manny would be, but assumes it will be around $100.
- Espinoza has stated numerous times he believes Mayweather fights Khan or Cotto on May 2 if the Pacquiao fight is not made.
- If Mayweather-Pacquiao happens on May 2, he believes the winner (clean decision) will not fight a second time in 2015...and will win FOTY.
- His understanding is that there is no rematch clause language in the discussions for Manny-Floyd. One person involved told him regarding a rematch: "Who the hell would want to work with these people again? One time is too many."
- Worst thing he has seen a fellow journalist do? Take money from a manager or promoter to write a "story".
- Scale on 1-10 that Mayweather-Pacquiao happens in May? 6.5.
- Thought ODH beat Whitaker, Quartey, and Trinidad.
- Wilder will most likely be allowed an interim fight before he has to fight his mandatory.
- Crawford and Walters doubleheader is off for the March 21st date. The date needs to be rescheduled and they are still looking for opponents.
- If Floyd beat Cotto and secured the MW belt, has a fighter ever been lineal champ in 3 divisions at the same time? 1938, Henry Armstrong held the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight titles (when there was only 8 divisions).
- If he was getting beat up by bullies what fighter (any era) would he want to help him out? George Foreman.
- Haymon probably paid high six figures to a million dollars to buy LSC's contract of GB.
- Bob Papa might be doing blow by blow for NBC Sports Net.
- Darchinyan not a HOF'er.
- Social media cannot entirely replace physical promotion. 10's of thousands of people turned out for the Mayweather-Cotto press tour.
- Murray is a very good and durable fighter. Chance GGG could not get the KO, if he does get a KO it most likely happens in the second half of the fight (9-10).

man fat dan is a fakkit
fat dan still keeping to hisword about the Fight..while Kim is more supportive.
I was gonna say who does ward think he is LSC? Adonis Stevenson?I mean....after watching LSC get 1.5 million over 2 fights to fight his literal sparring partners, what do you expect him to ask for?
He should've signed with Haymon though
These damn Russians/ukrains got some crazy strength
moore's legs was wobblin...def was on queer street..this boxcino opener is pretty good
