This is her Twitter Page.
I will summarize the exchange she just had with Fat Dan
Kelly: "Fight week so busy for pugilists. They ready to go and still obligated to final press avails to help sell show. Appreciate them for that!"
Fat Dan: "It's their job"
Kelly: "Says who? They do more than other athletes & those guys aren't about 2 get their heads ripped off. Little gratitude is fine."
Fat Dan: "Boxing is every1 for themselves. No league. No monster TV contracts. Got to sell every single event. With that said, I appreciate the access but we're all doing our jobs"
Kelly: "Going to side with fighters here. They give a lot!! Their jobs are harder than ours. This I now know from experience!! LOL."
I LOVE IT!
If you don't know, Kelly Swanson is a middle-aged white lady who does PR for many of boxing's top fighters including Floyd Mayweather. She just recently competed in an exhibition boxing match where she actually trained then fought. She got a 1st round TKO (who does that in an exhibition lol). She also plans to fight again. So her one fight which didn't even last 1 round has given her more perspective on what a boxer goes through than Dan's fat a$$ will probably ever know.
She could not have handled his bullshiet better.
So let me get this straight, she "sonned" him because she had an exhibition fight? If she didnt, then it wouldnt be a "son"? :thinkerg:
See, someone who comprehends.
Are you familiar with these days, father's day and mother's day? Days where parents are celebrated for doing their job well, but following fat Dan's logic those days shouldn't exist because they're simply fulfilling their responsibilities.
Just because an individual should do something, does not mean that they should not receive praise for actually following through on it. People are praised for their work ethics and commitment all of the time, boxers should not be the exception. The only reason shit like this is even questioned is because people subconsciously place boxers on the level of animals, who should tear one another to shreds for their entertainment.
Muther****ing Gospel!
It sucks that this had to be pointed out, but thank you anyways.
You have to understand the context here in regards to Dan and his attitude towards boxers. He is one of the most relied upon boxing journalist yet he doesn't even like pure boxing. He called Rigo's destruction of Donaire "boring" and is blatantly dismissive of pure boxers. His favorite fighter was Arturo Gatti...I guy who gets hit more than a cone in Chinatown.
So when you understand all of THAT....ALONG with the fact that he has never stepped a foot in the ring yet has such a dismissive attitude towards what boxers go through...Kelly's response and the reason why it cuts so deep is that much more pleasing.
Busted out the smiley faces, he's really feeling it now. Wait til mc(forgot his name) sees this, pure ownage.
I just think it's ironic that you would hype up Golovkin's numbers but then watch him on stream.
You're so mad. :rofl:
I can feel the anger. :rofl:
You don't even know why i don't have HBO. I watched every GGG fight on HBO, then switched to DISH network, because I wasn't getting FS1 on Comcast. :rofl:
Flowmo mad.
Kelly didn't son anyone, there a reason guys like andre Berto can get all that tv time and still fight in a empty arena, his promoters don't promote and he doesn't do anything to build his PR.
It's not rocket scientist why a lot of fighters are constantly in empty arenas. They don't do anything for the media to talk about, therefore fans don't care about them either.
Dan is right, these dudes are getting network $ and they should be out there romoting the event for themselves, the promoter, and the network.

You're still debating about how Golovkin attracted 1.5Million viewers on HBO, while asking for streams like the broke poster that you are? How you go around hyping up a fighter's numbers when you weren't even part of it.
You're a cornball, and so is OP.
yeah, you mad now. :rofl:
Got your Flowmo card pulled. :rofl:
When did I ask for a stream? I know all the stream sites. :rofl:
Says the Floyd cheerleader. Puuuhhhlease.

Why does every debate/discussion have to end with a "winner" or someone getting "sonned" these days? Or owned?
There just can't be two people having a debate without a bunch of cheerleading 12 year olds joining in saying "Oooooooooooooohhhhhh, he said your mom!"
