    More of a conflict of interest than when ESPN canceled FNF to be the main vehicle for PBC?

    Multiple conflicts of interest are carefully weighed where money is to be made, I assure you. But they still exist.

    Joshua and Lomachenko were more impressive. Golovkin too for that matter.

    Boxing is one big conflict of interest. But Crawford is far from an outrageous choice.

    Yeah he's in the mix too. Crawford cleared out his division, but in reality 2014 and 2016 were more impressive years for him than 2017. Really fail to see how beating Indongo and Diaz qualifies as Fighter of the year material. Kind of have to question ESPN credibility and integrity with this one. Joshua, Lomachenko, Rungvisai and Golovkin are fair choices. Crawford? Not so much.

    Clearly is Lomachenko but ESPN fires people(Atlas) who support him.
