The reason this stinks of home cooking is because of the enormous purse bid that Union Boxing (Senchenko) bid. Golden Boy bid 250K, Union bid 1M! Paulie is due 25%, but the promoter will assure their investment walks away champion tonight. :deal
Good thoughts. No way does GBP spend that kindof $$$ pitting this fight opposite BHOP/Dawson and it wouldn't warrant more than their bid on the UC either. And for UB to bid that $$$$ means they got a real stake in the outcome. Sux for Paulie cuz this is one guy who lumbers around enough that Paulie could potshot his way to a decision. Paulies a slick SOB and can throw 5 punches before Senchenko could reset. Senchenko is a big mfer though. He could prolly snatch Paulie up and break him, and the ref would allow it.:think
What's ****ed up is that Western (British) coverage of this card starts at 1pm EST/6pm UK/8pm Ukraine. Ukrainian TV is only showing the main event, from 4pm EST/9pm UK/11pm Ukraine - even though there are a bunch of their local prospects on the undercard. :nut
