No doubt you are a Haymon fan, which is reflective in your great sensitivity towards criticism of him (or when someone just suggests that he's viewed as more suspicious because he doesn't talk to the media ) and your eagerness to promote his endeavors (omg a ref cam! so innovative even though it's been done loads of times).
I don't think I've suggested anywhere this fight is "beyond criticism". I said its solid & you lost your sh!t is basically what went down.
The he doesn't talk to the media thing is retarded. He in fact does talk to the media, just off the record, as most people behind the scenes like managers tend to do. And hell maybe the guy gots some Nick Diaz social anxiety thing going on idk. The sh!t where he's hiding behind the curtains at pressers stuff is clearly some odd sorta sh!t.
Again man, no one in boxing is doing virtually anything different EVER. Its so disappointing to see. HBO did allegedly & that failed & they ran (along with their budget) from doing anything different for a long ass time it seems. You gotta take some risks or do something to shake things up every once in awhile. If football was ran by the same cats running boxing the super bowl would be in the same place every year, announced by the same guys every year & the halftime show woulda been LL Cool J or Ricky Martin or someone like that for the last twenty years. I just want guys doing some new stuff & even rehashing old ideas gets you points in my book. I'm a cat who's often critical of Bob, but I highly respect Bob's China move. Thats huge for the sport even if he's doing the paint by numbers things he's being doing since Ali.
