    I doubt many latino-speaking fighters visit ESB, like Pantera who does not speak or read English that well.

    But yeah, english speaking fighters most certainly do visit this site.
    Like you said, one has to imagine being a top boxer, obviously you would visit the site and read up on things. :D

    What? Why? I don't even like Floyd. Wouldn't you want to know what the fans thought?

    The latino-speaking fighters have friends check out these sites and interpret for them. Now it is easy to just cut and past into Google Translate anyway. I know Miranda gets feedback from this site, but you are right, he doesnt sit down and actually read anything.

    The very top fighters like PBF probably dont check the site out too often. There is so much **** on here about them that they are probably sick of it already. But for most other fighters, they could check this site out once or twice a week and get caught up on what people are saying about them.

    Some fighters are like us, web geeks who are always on the net. I mean have you ever seen Shannon Briggs facebook? The guy gives updates throughout the day. Funny **** too!

    Here is a list of the last few Facebook comments made by Briggs:

    Trying to figure out how to let things go. I'm still looking for a kid that beat me up in the 5th grade. He was a 8th grader. I'm close to locating his address. If you ever crossed me your on the list. Note to self... Let it go.

    Heading home to NYC next week. Gotta visit Brownsville, East New York and Flatbush to keep me reminded of where I'm from. This gated community, palm trees and beaches **** can trick you sometimes. Gotta get a blast of that gutta smell.

    Just got in from running 7.5 miles. Feeling great. I'm sweating myself right now. Looking awesome feeling like I hit the powerball or some ****. Long runs are amazing. Runners endorphin high kicked in nice today.

    Headed to the gym to harass cats about sparring, put on loud music, make trouble, pop ****, start beef, workout, flip a table, wild out come back home get normal chill with my kids and let them beat me up. Game Over.

    I think I got in a spat with zab judah once. Don't remember his name, but I said something bad about Judah and he took it so personal that I felt for sure it had to be him.

    A couple of times I feel a couple of the ****ier posters are members of Mayweather clan or his handlers.

    I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Kelly Pavlik yet.

    He mentioned about boxing websites like ESB dissing him while he was being interviewed after a fight, probably with Merchant.

    He specifically mentioned ESB.

    I used to think Danny Rand was Ellerbe or Floyd himself. Starting a Floyd threat was like sending up the bat signal for batman to appear. I used to also think Jack Prescott might be DLH himself, it was just too absurd that that had to be the answer.

    No doubt all people involved with boxing visit and read here.
    When announcers like Merchant, Kellerman, etc talk about what the fans think and what the fans want, where do you think they get that from? These guys are all members of the sites and read what we are saying and see the polls. Promoters, managers, trainers too....
