Dan Rafael is a giant homo
He is 100% correct about the WBC and he is one of the only people in boxing who has consistently called out the WBC for their absolute bullshit. Chavez Jr #1 at 168?! Un-fucking-real. The WBC is cancer to the spoor. So glad that piece of shit Jose is dead, but Dan is right sadly nothing changed.

This guy bet $2.5m on Broner to beat Maidana, $10m on the Broncos. Obviously has no concept of charity. The only difference between Floyd Mayweather and Bob Arum is that Floyd is a fighter. I don't think I've ever heard anything as selfish as what he said in that interview.

They're all terrible for the sport. He's beating the hell out of a dead horse. I think all hardcore boxing fans know what's up about all the sanctioning body nonsense. His jokes are old and played out. He's absolutely correct, but he's still a douchebag.

No one knows when the WBCs rankings come out until Dan points it out. It's good at least someone in the media is doing it because no one else is.

Rigondeaux's Manager Gary Hyde's Open Letter to Bob Arum

Dear Bob,

I read your comments once again trashing Guillermo Rigondeaux.

Let me remind you that it became clear to us well before the bout that Joseph Agbeko was, to use a euphemism, " troubled ". We asked, through Mr. English, that an opponent likely to be more competitive be used. The public does not know this. But you do.

All Joseph Agbeko did was to try to survive, perfectly predictable under the circumstances, as we both know.

Now you are once again trashing Guillermo Rigondeaux for following the direction of Top Rank and of HBO in fighting an opponent who did not want to be there and who simply wished to survive.

Tell the public the truth. Tell them that we knew full well that Agbeko was an inappropriate opponent and that Mr. Rigondeaux's representatives said so. Tell the truth and blame those who went forward in light of the advice to select another opponent. Tell the public who made the decision to use Agbeko, who made the decision to keep him in light of unmistakable signs as to the likelihood he would simply fight to survive (at best) and stop trashing the fighter you promote.

We look forward to Rigondeaux's next bout. It is time that Top Rank schedule same.
