    I wonder where RJJ will end up? IMO he was the only one of the team that was really worth a damn.

    Not really. Im a fan, but not as emotionally invested as you are with Pacquiao who ducked random testing for years as he moved up in weight.

    And your melt down these last two weeks is sure evidence that your love for Golovkin is almost as equal to your man love for Pacquiao.

    Hope you're doing better now after two weeks of you're nervous breakdown following the crowning of the New MW King. itd be sad to see you as fragile going into the third week since the fight as you've been these past two weeks.

    Cheer up fellow, better days ahead.

    Golden Boy and Canelo killed boxing for HBO with their robberies and steroids.

    Promoting more shows down in Pensacola and helping build up some young bucks @ the RJJ Fight Academy.

    Maybe put out another record and start a beef with Migos or something to keep his name fresh. :sisi1

    He'll be aight.

    Shitty matchmaking, lack of stars(and the ability to build many) and infrequent events were the last things to do the trick.

    Bro, you're like a Yankees, Belieber, Chevy fan all rolled into one when it comes to Drugnelo. That means that you would be happy to subsist on Drugnelo's PED-tainted semen year round.

    Facebook has 2.23 billion ACTIVE USERS, guy. If they don't pursue boxing, it's because they don't want to and not for budgetary reasons.

    LIKE I ****ING SAID ALREADY!!!
    THE GBP ON FACEBOOK WATCH IS NOT A BIG ENOUGH PLATFORM!!!!
    Golden...Boy....Promotions...ON...Facebook....WATCH! They barely have an audience. This is not some budgetary issue. This is lack of infrastructure.

    Jesus ****, were you beaten with a damn phone book as a toddler?

    Yea, Facebook has a ton of active users. But Facebook Watch is a different story. Especially boxing on Facebook Watch. Just because they are connected, doesn't mean people will automatically tune in.

    Just like HBO has 50mil subscribers but cut boxing because no one was tuning in. Just because you have A audience, doesn't mean you have THE audience.

    This right here is Eddie Hearn's big moment for the DAZN project. He needs to throw the kitchen sink at the HBO guys. We all know Jacobs and Bivol are surely going to DAZN, I don't think that's even debatable. The rest, however, are up for grabs. If he brought Canelo to DAZN, that is HUGE and a game-changer. He has to convince Canelo and Golden Boy AT ALL COSTS. If he fails, it's a big disappointment.

    Canelo wouldn't fit with their model. He's on PPV from now till it's over, nowhere else can pay him that kind of money.
