Golden Boy Promotions Blacklisting Independent Boxing Forums?

Boxing fans need to demand good information. We need to demand decent fights. We need to demand that PPVs have decent value. Golden Boy should be held to account for farces like BHop v RJJ. That should have been on cable or something.

I agree 100%. This issue needs to be addressed

Obviously an attempt to bring FightHype to heel. I hope they will continue to refuse the leash. Independent forums and boxing fans need to stand up to this BS.

This whole situaution is B.S... That forum hasn't written anything negative towards Keenan. This HAS to be personal because no other forum (That I KNow) has been threatened

I guess she squats and urinates next to the fire hydrants, than.

Ed Keenan is a bitch. ****ing Pervert!

But the problem is that sites, bloggers, and The Examiner favor certain camps so they can be assured of credentials. And the media buffet That is my whole point. Independent boxing sites should not have to favor certain fighters and promoters to "be assured of credentials". The site that has been blacklisted has some of the best content on boxing. If boxing fans and independent sites do not stand up against behavior like Ed Keenan's, sites will no longer be able to publish objective journalism and boxing fans will be subjected to only the information that promoters deem positive for their (and their fighters') image. Independent boxing forums will no longer be independent. Boxing fans will be reduced to propaganda tools. We the boxing fans need to demand independent information and we need to punish those who would attempt to curtail our access to that information. Fighthype is a great site, I go there everyday reading boxing, their forums are nice too, not much traffic though, maybe if people like me man up and join it will be a little different. I am just used to posting here and I hate small communities like maxboxing forums where everybody there knows each other and when new people come in they are pretty much chased out, that's why they don't have any new members, they make them quit the forum. Fighthype's forum might be like that or I may be completely wrong, I just don't like small communities where every second person is a moderator. But other than that, I cannot not visit fighthype because their content is amazing. Even the Murad series was amazing. I don't know why fighthype would get banned for fights, they provide as much content as boxingscene if not even more and they have a nice niche with the interviews and everything. Sometimes it is worth fighting through the initial barrage of criticism you face on smaller sites. IMO, that is the case with FightHype. But the point here is that independent forums should not be discriminated against for their content. They should be judged on their efforts to inform the boxing public on all sides of the issues. Individuals like Mr. Keenan should not be given the power to summarily dismiss independent forums like a dog pisses on fire hydrants. Sweet tail, by the way.

My name is Keenan. :boxing: Seriously.

To my knowledge, the blacklisted site has never had an issue with writing anything of a denigrating nature about Ed Keenan or GBP. IMO, this cat has an axe to grind.

Is that the same Ed Keenan from Ocean City, NJ that got arrested for masterbating in front of the kiddie rides at Playland on the boardwalk?

I heard they were blacklisted after doing several hate pieces on Keenan. Never a smart move to make enemies with the guy in charge of credentials. Our site is pretty close with Keenan and Golden Boy so no worries here. Who did you hear that from? There's never been any "hate pieces" on Ed Keenan over there. If that was the case, wouldn't there be some evidence of these "hate pieces"...maybe some links to articles...or perhaps some search results on appearing on Google? There hasn't been anything talking about Ed Keenan at all on that site, so that just doesn't make any sense. I don't know...I might be wrong...but if I am, I'd love to see some of these "hate pieces" to find out more about this Ed Kennan character. LOL.

Our site is pretty close with Keenan and Golden Boy so no worries here. #1. The blacklisted site has not done "several hate pieces on Keenan." The fact that the site's credentials were threatened if they did round by round of BHop v RJJ was simply being discussed on the forum. No "hate pieces on Keenan" were published by the site to my knowledge. #2. Very interesting that this "site is pretty close with Keenan and Golden Boy" and you no longer do round by rounds. #3. If this Keenan punk can blacklist independent forums at his descretion, what is there to stop him from demanding that this site ban all negative threads about his punkness and GBP? Take the time to read and actually figure out the situation. You should take your own advice. what was the point when half a dozen people were doing them in the forums.:pat: Convenient rationalization.

fuck Golden Boy...

They actually said that? Yeah, the site I wrote for told me to. I understand they don't want to step on toes, but the only thing about the entire event was the crowd. Not to mention it was PPV. The editor really wouldn't let me write anything negative unless it was something very minimal.

what was the point when half a dozen people were doing them in the forums.:pat: What happened to Ishe's article/threads.

Keenan and Golden Boy "peeleft:

what was the reason why boxingscene stopped doing round by round coverage? BS had round by round coverage over a year back or so. what was the point when half a dozen people were doing them in the forums.:pat:

I use to write for a site, and went to cover the Cotto vs Jennings fight and was told to speak favorable about the event. After that I quit. They actually said that?
