World title boxing promoters? Zero? You?

How many boxing promoters of any kind do you know?

What difference does it make, I don’t care what some local promoter does, I was specifically talking about world level boxing.

Please don’t regale me with the tales of local boxing promoters cause I literally have less interest in that than this conversation you’ve already ruined.

But I do recall that Keith Hangover was as much a boring, over opinionated knob then as he is now.

You have to applaud his consistency.

ElJefe wrote: ↑18 Aug 2018, 20:52 Not really sure why that argument lasted so long And I don't want to reignite it but isn't it sort of irrelevant if promoters explicitly mention race in promoting fights? We all know they can't really openly say stuff like that now. But that doesn't mean that they're not thinking it? The race element is not just completely brought into the equation by the fans. And even if it was, I'm not sure that being aware of it is an example of bigotry. You can observe things like that without it actually being important to you in terms of who you want to win.

Was Mayweather fighting Latino fighters so often just a coincidence? They don't come out and say "It's a Latin fighter against a Black American", but it doesn't mean it's not a factor for them. The fans don't completely invent that. Floyd justified choosing to fight JMM over Mosley by saying that JMM would do more PPVs as he had Mexico behind him. Its natural.

goes along with the whole narrative of him being wildly unpredictable, even though hes super jab right hand heavy and so many of his fights follow the same pattern

now people are taking it to a new level and just making sh!t up

As far as I'm aware Warren has zero ties with BN these days, the Conlan homecoming was his last, BN are working with MTK from now on

I heard that too watching the fight. I genuinely thought I’ve never seen him do that either. He’s probably done it once.

Sometimes when he misses wildly with a right hand his feet cross over and he takes a few seconds to realize seconds and adjust them back.

That's not switcg hitting, it's just poor technique.

Froch used to do it sometimes aswell.

Did your passenger have a fake tan, dodgy quiff, Essex accent and an air of self importance, also might have been travelling with Kugan Cassius and Anthony Sims

It wasn't SOLD that way anywhere. That's why I said it was an unspoken thing.

Perhaps you said it first I’m reading the thread backwards...fair dos.

Yeah I’m sure some see it that way. I’m sure some looked at Khan-Salita in similar terms. Best ignored in my view.

Khan-Salita sold loads of tickets to Muslims and Jews. I was at that fight, it was a wild night in and out of the arena.

Thought you were gonna say Donald Trump then lol
Saying that he was sort of arhuing with me that fury held all the belts including WBC and was acting like i didnt have a clue till i got the boxrec record book out and showed him. They soon shut up.
