I listened to the interview where Paulie said that and I didn't find it racist. It was incredibly stupid but Paulie has never been the sharpest tool in the shed and stupid people say stupid things. I won't miss his commentary, we live in the age where buffoonery sells and Paulie fit the description. He'll get another hustle.

Really? If anything most hardcore boxing fans will tell you Paulie brought insight into the showtime team. He was a bit brash and maybe wasnt as polished as other commentators in the past(like Merchant, Gray, Lampley, Steve Albert) but for a former punching bag of boxer that didnt have a background in journalism he was very good.

As said this before but I've met him at a few fights when I covered them and he went with top of the line girls in looks. .He also always dressed what used to be called spiffy. He would have discussions back and forth with folks when he came to see a fight as a spectator.. As a fighter he had zero power and I don't usually enjoy watching fighters like that.

Canelo alleges that he wanted to fight Billy Joe Saunders or Callum Smith, DAZN said okay but we can't pay you the contract price because we don't consider them Premiere attractions to justify the contract price. Canelo asked them for a list of Premiere attractions and DAZN offered 47 year old Oscar and MMA fighter Khabib in a Mayweather-McGregor type setup.

You want to hate Canelo thats fine I dont give a shit its not like Canelo buys my groceries or pays my rent. But lets be honest them Charlo Brothers have been doing a lot more ducking than Canelo and never see you haters post anything about that. You only post half truths. Like how Matos conviniently left out the part about Canelo being offered a fight for 35% of his actual purse. No fighter would fight under those terms. And as far as Canelo Cherry picking its a moot point after Canelo fought Jacobs and GGG twice Its obvious hes not scared to fight anyone.

I know you hate the UFC but imagine if the same business model was applied to boxing? How many badass fights have boxing fans missed out on due to promoters and networks not being able to negotiate? Thats probably the biggest gripe I hear from boxing fans. Ofcourse the fighters dont want a Dana White in boxing that would force the best to fight the best. Fighters couldnt pad their records fighting tomato cans and records would no longer be as important as seeing great wars. But yeah i know fuck the ufc just a bunch of fags rolling around on the mat what do they know right???

Yeah Oscar is such a nice guy, just unselfeshly tried to help Canelo's career. Never mind that Oscar made millions in the process off Canelo's hard work. What prick Canelo is. Cause we all know promoters never rip off fighters. Don King was never a crook that ripped off Mike Tyson. He was just misunderstood.
