DiBella: F*** Detractors, Quillin-Jacobs Will Be Great

By Victor Salazar

New York-based Lou DiBella has been one of the many promoters to handle Premier Boxing Champions cards with Al Haymon-managed fighters. This year alone he has promoted some of the bigger shows in Brooklyn, including cards that featured Danny Garcia-Lamont Peterson, Amir Khan-Chris Algieri, Danny Garcia-Paulie Malignaggi, and will now bring the bring the middleweight title fight between Danny Jacobs and Peter Quillin to the Barclays Center.

When DiBella was asked about the negative opinions of Haymon and the Premier Boxing Champions Series, DiBella cut in and went off.

“F*** detractors, this going to be a great fight,” DiBella said about Jacobs-Quillin.

“Here’s what I’m talking about. I’m here to talk about December 5th. I’m not getting in the ring and fighting, Al Haymon getting in the ring and fighting. It’s a Showtime show and not a PBC show. Peter Quillin and Danny Jacobs are getting in the ring and fighting, laying it all on the line. One of them is going to take a huge leap up in superstardom. It’s a great fight I’m not going to get into the politics of boxing. Too many people are hating on to many people in boxing. Too many people are suing too many people in boxing. Too much bullsh*t, let’s just make good fights.”

The winner of this fight will be a star says the promoter and hopes those involved in boxing will put their hate aside and enjoy what he expects to be a good fight.

“It’s a huge star making opportunity,” stated DiBella. “There are other boxers who can claim supremacy in this division based on their ability. But Quillin and Jacobs are up there in the top echelon. There are the two best guys available to each other. It’s a fight that’s been percolating for years. Put all the hate aside, let’s enjoy the good fight December 5th on Showtime and in Brooklyn.”
