I don't either, past Rafael for fights being made. I'm sure he makes good money at ESPN, but that's rare. When you're talking 'experts' I assume you mean the guys writing about it, though most of them are dimwitted. I only know because I did it for a few years. The majority of bloggers don't get paid at all, after that you'll mainly fall into the $20-$200 a month range.
How the hell did Rafael even get that gig?! Lol. He's not terrible but he's nothing special either.
Talking about experts, I mean about journalists and TV commentators, former champions and high level trainers/judges/refs..........

There are no journalists, they're bloggers and I hear some of the dumbest shit from commentators. Half the time it's like they're not even watching it

He kind of sucks and his historical knowledge is nil, but his information is reliable and that's all I care about. He used to write for USA today and they did rankings once a month and notes pretty frequently, long before I thought of an internet site it was a solid lifeline with the magazines. I'm sure he snagged it from that.

True. He does have good sources and breaks some good stories. He seems a bit of a miserable pudendum lol but then again I don't know if that's because he gets trolled a lot.

No idea, I don't do twitter or anything and I don't really read anything outside of potential upcoming fights.

Nice *little* prediction rate. Can't beat my 19-0, though. :bag:
I'll beat you by seasons end :OhYes:

EDIT: Hell I'm beating you now :lol:

I assume this 19-0 stretch came in a previous season?
No, I'm new too. Also, I'm #1 in TWO categories. You're Worldranked, I'm assuming?

I'm nobody else. I've always been most well known on this forum as gilgamesh. I briefly had another name when I was banned for no reason, but it wasn't Worldranked.

I'll have to PM you because this site marks the name as spam. It's a fun prediction game. Not sure why this site is so damn picky about talking about other forums about boxing.

He's killed you there jip

He has killed, not he's killed

English 1 : you 0
No man... He killed you, not "He has killed you" ... Don't be wordy. Grammar 1, you 0

Sign up to the prophet game, and you'll see. I'll send you a link because this damn site has it as spam. Regardless, it's a fun prediction game. I'm #1 in 2 categories.

I put down Kovalev by KO. I also thought Kovalev in the first fight, and I do believe he beat Ward.
