Not really. Schaefer even admitted than they weren't prepared to give Burns what he wanted. And of course there's what GBP did on the...
Yes, it is. But it's mostly because they're scoping out what's next for Ward. ;)
He was indeed.
Look at my posts building up to the Ward fight, or after the Bute fight. I admire the guy massively for his attitude and wanted him to beat Ward....
I didn't downplay his win over Pascal or Taylor. They were solid, solid wins. He lost to Dirrell on most fair cards, he clearly lost to Kessler....

Or had specific requirements - like launching on iOS, etc and reducing the game's scope. That said, the boxing games on iOS and Android are so...
I suspect the broadcast rights will lie with Hennessey still, so yes. But he might not want to (or be able to) while the legal stuff with Carl is...
