    Thats the reality

    Not a big enough fight $$$ wise to cross the barriers

    Fight is 2-3 years away easily, if ever

    Bob already has Buds year planned

    Horn/Pac/Alvarado or something like that

    TopRank & PBC don't do business either

    Why marry an outsider when you can marry your cousin and keep your money in the family.

    Fat Dan is just making excuses for this already not happen anytime soon, why is that one must ask?
    WBSS got the fights done, AJ-Parker got it done, Kov-Ward got it done.

    Why don't you drop both of them from your P4P until they fight each other? Oh wait you won't do that you fat ****.
    The point of boxing media is to push promoters to make fights happen not to come up with excuses.

    Actually the point of media is to tell and show what is happening for the viewer.

    To say media should be pushing promoters or fighters or fans is a bit awkward. And just wrong.

    What you're describing, pushing promoters to make fights happen, is called a "forum." Like this one! That's our (unpaid) job!

    Both media and the fans should be pushing for fights. What he said is awkward. This fight is absolutely doable but we all know Crawford's year is already mapped out: Horn then Pacquiao. Is this some kind of excuse Dan needs to justify keeping Crawford' on his P4P list?

    Spence was on ESPN First Take last week, if this fight happens on ESPN they will promote the **** out of it. Will truly be a 'breakout' moment for whoever wins.

    Say what you want about Eddie Hearn, he's willing to work with anyone and everyone.

    Eh, I don't know. Dan Raf is one of the worst parts of this sport, so you won't see me defending him or saying he's above anything. But I really don't think he pushes any agenda with this... It's like how some posters on here have to remind others about promotional realities. And those posters are proven true far more often than those they have to remind to damper expectations.

    The role of the media is to be the direct channel of communication between the sport/news/whatever they're reporting on.....and in the modern world of social media this works both ways.

    The fact it works both ways is perfectly displayed by the fact FatDan is even talking about a fight which apparently 'is not possible'......he's being forced to talk about it as its what fans want.

    I suppose one must acknowledge the difference between reporting something and speculating on something.

    Not enough money to make this? Sure, if you decide to over price your worth.... biggest pet peeve about boxing today...everyone thinks they are a star, wants to be paid like a star, before they are even well known...

    Top Rank and PBC do work together. Why do you keep repeating this nonsense?
