Well, it seems to me like everyone takes Espinoza for granted, and no one is truly an exclusive showtime guy.:heh:

Unless Tank or a Charlo do have an exclusive contract with showtime that I'm unaware of.

I don't think Boots is actually a part of PBC right? Al isn't his manager?
No, Boots isn't with PBC, Cameron Dunkin is his manager. He has an exclusive contract with Showtime, I don't know how many fights tho.

I do remember Espinoza explaining that Boots was a guy he wanted to keep on Showtime, but again, we've seen big names, like Joshua and Canelo, jump to other networks on a whim. Not to mention, Al also basically forcing showtime to take a backseat for Fox recently. Loyalty to Showtime seems to be flimsy.

I don't think it's too far fetched to think that Boots could be brought onto DAZN so long as Haymon isn't his manager. I'm sure that Haymon and Espinoza are working in tandem to keep him on their side of the street too, though.

Black fighters should just go to PBC. You see how Oscar treats brehs and Top Rank put more focus on Ali’s grandchild than any nikka not named Bud Crawford . Is what it is.

Boxing is dirty but for the time being Dunkin and Espinoza are aligned. Dunkin was the black sheep in boxing, Espinoza brought in Boots, Brandun Lee, and Brian Norman(all Dunkin fighters) on Shobox cards and then that led to Boots getting his own deal, and I think Lee secretly has one about to start as well based on that interview Saturday.

@patscorpio this nikka has the nerve to call himself a "throwback fighter" when he fights once a year? WBC needs to step in and relieve him of his belt.


to be a stan of someone who you know is the goods but is the epitome of certain things ive said in the past :francis:...im with you breh..i honestly dont know how he is able to keep his title for so long without defending ...they ordered his mando and he hasnt been put on any card yet....like what is the hold up? :gucci:

That type of headgear plus 16oz gloves that’s a freak accident or the eye was fukked over time :yeshrug:


Not ruling out the fukked over time theory but I have had both my mouth and nose busted open with one of these facesaver guards on before which are supposed to give even more protection that those open faced ones

Also it might not even have been a punch that did the damage. A lot of people don't tie up their gloves properly in sparring and majority of black eyes I've had have been through open wrist parts of gloves scraping my face
