According to Rick Glaser
It has now been confirmed to yours truly that the Original ESPN Fatman Dan Rafael will definitely not get his contract renewed by ESPN on his current contract concludes. The handwriting was on the wall when ESPN hired well known writer Steve Kim, and ESPN.com dropped Rafael's Friday Chat that was weekly, claiming the software was out of date, which was just an excuse. So once he is nolonger at ESPN, Rafael will now just be simply "the Fatman"
LMAO so if your facts are accurate Gabe came down to LA when he was 40 left when he was 50 and moved back up to the BAY???
Why didnt he try acting when he was in his 20's or even 30's? What 40 something year old comes to LA trying to make it? Thats some midlife crisis shat!
someone said he blew it from the better paying gig here because he wanted to be the PED expert crusader? I dont even get how he can self proclaim himself to be the PED expert crusader when he never even went to college or has any credible background in any related field I know these guys dont even have journalism degrees either.
LMAO on the Voice Over. VO's are the easiest gigs to land! That same hot chick who hooked me up with the breakdowns also hooked me up with VO gigs. But we both know his voice is awful and he has that smokers cough always coughing and clearing his throat constantly would make for a terrible VO talent.
I dont get why he doesn't just get a real gig. I mean he's 50 lives in the bay which is like more expensive than living in LA right?
LMAO at every time I try to give him props or credit you shoot it down? LOL The weight, the theater production value, etc. LOL This thread is golden!
He acted in theater when he was in his 20s and then started against in his 30s. if I remember correctly he wasn't like a hardcore boxing fan, but he was already in LA for 4 years or so and then started training at Wild card to get in shape.
Then he met steve kim or dougie fishcer? an started posting on a boxing forum I think Doghouse boxing? remember that site?
anyway he was in LA for 17 years I believe before moving back to San Fran. He never got a signifcant job in acting all those years. Its sad but thats the nature of the business.
Also you are correct he wanted to write articles questioning Golden boy and Floyd why they didnt use VADA and I think the owner of this site told him not to do that that they dont want to create enemies and just promote boxing.
Gabe was going to get a great position here making good money and he boasted on his social media about why he turned it down.
This why I have a feeling he had some time of allowance from his family or had some unemployment checks from injury on the job or something
who turns down a great paying job like that unless you are delusional SJW narcissistic person? its like he wanted the world to say wow you are a man of integrity and a true hero for fighting for PEDs testing in sport!
He lives in the cheap areas in the bay or he couch surfs I think.
GREEN K for your thorough journalistic investigations to get us these images!
LMAO! How the F did u even get all these photos of him performing?
Ill be honest he looks a lot better in these photos you posted here maybe because of the suit and tux they provided with him? Like I said normally we are used to him always wearing the same dirty worn out black shirt and black pants that he always wears to all the fights.
The production value of the community theater looks pretty solid tho no? Is it like one of the bigger respected community theaters in the Bay Area?
LMAO how can you be anorexic and still have a double chin and a gut? Thats probably the worst possible combo.
All I know is if you move away from LA then you pretty much gave up on becoming a real actor. The only other real legit option would be New York. It's like not like Gabe even has a car to drive down to LA from the BAY for auditions so how would he even make back down here?
Its just basic theater, the photos make it look good. Ive done theater in some black box ****ty ass tiny place and they took photos and it looked like we were in a nice stage theater all illusions bro lol.
From what i gathered Gabe tried to get work in LA as an actor from his online rants he said he would give himself three years, he stayed in LA for ten and never got a decent paying job. He couldnt even get voice over talent work where you dont show your face.
The only paying job he had was working for maxboxing/secondsout. He blew a high paying job here at boxingscene all because he wanted to be a sjw and show he had integrity. So he outted the owner claiming he refused to write bias pieces for money smh. Gabe is a loser, a true sjw narcissistic dude. He could have gotten paid good money being a writer and chief of box8ngscene.
Lol the name is one of the worst parts of DAZN. It smacks of this fake "urban" slang like they're trying to seem cool while also seeming like an acronym for god knows what.
Andy Ruiz called it "Dazun" or something in the lead up to the first fight and I cannot blame him one bit.
Should partner with Days Inn (which is how I thought it was pronounced): stay the night and get free boxing on your laptop!
How do you feel about dazn?
They literally had to take out an ad campaign to try to teach people how to pronounce it lol.

Bro he didn't gain weight, he just skinny fat, he has that skinny horrible genetics with a fat bloated double chin. The fat bloated face makes it look like he gained weight but he is still anorexic with a gut.
Gabe has some delusions of grandeur, he has stepped up from community theater he does small theater but I dont know if he gets paid. The tickets all go to the theater company
thats how it was when I did a local show we charged ticket prices but ll that money went to the theater company its not a way to make a living
yes most of his roles are assistant, drunk, waiter, or janitor and butler type roles.
Here he is from years ago playing a Casino helper or roulette spinner
https://theatrestorm.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/speakeasy.jpg
He also was the Bartender
https://s.hdnux.com/photos/25/50/73/5672695/3/920x920.jpg
Here he is on the bottom drinking, he had a role of Guy drinking while watching show
https://s.hdnux.com/photos/26/33/44/5880097/5/920x920.jpg
Here he is I think he either played the butler or limo driver/assistant to the lead
https://theatrius.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/048A7140-1024x683.jpg
I have no idea who this guy even is, but your obsession with him is disturbing.
LMAO! Where did u find this photo of him? He actually looks like he gained some weight? Im used to seeing him looking anorexic like he hasn't eaten properly for weeks.
Yeah bro I understand how u dont want to screen shot it so you blow your cover, I actually forgot all about that.
But man I love Christian Bale hes one of my fav actors of all time and the best Batman hands down. I'd def grab a selfie with him if possible. But yeah that cringe if what u say is true about him talking to Bale as if he himself is even an legit actor.
But WTF he gets only small roles as janitor or assistant in these community theater productions? By the way he boasts about it you'd swear he was starring in them? LOL
I wonder if they cast him just because he has a few thousand followers so they can get some buzz?
In all fairness I think he looks better, well not better but that pics a bad pic of him. Or he's gained weight since the last time I saw him like at one of the fights years ago.
He does look old in that pic about 50 or so right?
Bro he didn't gain weight, he just skinny fat, he has that skinny horrible genetics with a fat bloated double chin. The fat bloated face makes it look like he gained weight but he is still anorexic with a gut.

LMFAO!!!!! BRO can you screen shot that convo? I'll use it as my new profile pic or signature LOL.
You should have said it how I told you like you wanna be like him and do what he does. This would stroke his ego and he might just bite.
I remember someone played like 30seconds of one of the podcasts he was on for me and he was saying how he'd have his community theater play schedule up so all his fans could see him perform.
I thought he was joking or like being sarcastic but they showed me he wasn't like he literally posted his community theater show dates and times like how a real rockstar would post their new summer tour and make all their millions of fans go crazy and sell out the show right away.
Supposedly there was a few guys asking him tips on acting as well, I don't know if they were serious or just had no clue.
But who the F would ask him tips on acting when the most he's ever done was community theater lol.
Also again during the podcast he kept coughing like smokers cough and clearing his throat the entire time. Like WTF? who would watch him perform when he's coughing and clearing his throat constantly like that?
Also someone said (not sure if it was u) or not but he's supposedly like a Buddhist? So that's his excuse to not be materialistic and not have a car, or nice things.
All I know is that most people on this site and those who go to the fights all pretty much got their beef and issues with him and its mostly because he's some delusional egomaniac.
I dont even know how to screen shot it, but Im keeping that account to see if I can ask stuff through DM so I dont wanna blow my cover lol
But man Gabe is cringeworthy, he was actually talking to Christian Bale about acting he did an interview for the press junket for The Fighter where they do round with reporters he was there on behalf of Maxboxing and Gabe interviewed him and was almost talking to Bale as if he was on his level trying to give Bale pointers. or something
Max boxing had to edit the video because people were like dam this dude is full of himself.
Gabe posted his community theater stuff. He mostly gets roles like janitor or assistant.
You can see him here playing a butler
Does he have a nice side view and jawline? Gabe thinks he looks like a Latino Bogart or something he said he has unconventional good looks

LMAO that's awesome u got to bang those chicks. I have a bunch of stories on hooking up with dumb chicks who came to LA to try to be a star. But then things like the new IMDB site started proving who was who later on so it only worked for the real dumb like country or midwest chicks who had no clue lol.
I remember I hooked up with this one stripper chick she also stripped at night and went on auditions during the day. This other hot chick I knew got the breakdowns that's the casting info only real legit talent agents/managers got access to them but since she was hot she got them too so she forwarded them to me and I'd either sell them to wannabe actors like a kick back scheme and then the really hot chicks id give them out as free and most at least gave me play in return lol.
So that one fine big booty stripper chick pretty much was banging me because she wanted me to be her agent lol. But my arse didn't want to send her out on auditions and shat. I mean if we worked out some cash under the table compensation I guess I could. I actually was just trying to get laid back then had I had the drive and focus I got a few years later then I probably could have been an Ari Gold.
Now everyone has access to the breakdowns. They started just selling them to anyone who wants them. Like 10 years ago they were going for like $20 a month to get full access. Im sure they charge way more today. But everythings online no more sending headshots by mail and spending hundreds on stamps and postage.
But yeah I don't have social media anymore, my work has business accounts but those are for clients only not to be used for personal shat, so I have no way of asking Gabe about the money questions.
Why dont u ask him and post the responses he gives you?
I dont know if it was u or someone else said he's online all day during working hours so that means he really does not work. They said he's always posting real trolling arguments against the government and he always backs up no hoper politicians as if its edgy or something LOL.
Someone else said, (It might of been u actually?) that he and I know Steve is also this way never want to actually debate or even converse on issues, its pretty much you have to agree or back up their opinions or they will even block you.
Like even if you were to point out your argument with concrete facts and data they still get mad and call you names like a troll and block you.
So with that being said you should ask him like hey bro I really wanna do what you do. Is it hard? How much are they paying you? Can I get by doing what you are doing as well? I wanna quit my job and do what you do!
Maybe he'll respond then if its part flattery and not straight up questioning how he survives with no job or income lol.
Gabe yes he is online or usually was at the time just tweeting on Trump and impeach him. I did try to ask him he blocked me. When I told me to make an account I did he blocked me I asked him how does he survive and he said F off you troll
He got offended I was talking to him nice. I just asked him man how come you dont do the boxing radio show anymore and how do you survive financially?
he didnt answer and said I was a troll
blocked me quickly
LMFAO isn't that Vince Neil frontman of Motley Crue?
Bro now that you mention it I did some acting courses in a JC as well it was mad fun. Mad hot chicks all wanting to be the next Jessica Alba and they was all down lol. One was this bad Italian dime who's real job was a stripper at night and she went on auditions during the day. I google her name time to time to see if she ever made it or got casted in anything but Never saw her in anything. She was hot as hell tho actually looked like Alba but with bigger D cups and booty.
But yeah hell no none of us got paid for our shows and the audience was made up of other students and family and friends. Its not like Hollywood Agents Ari Gold was in the house.
Another sad thing was our teacher was this bitter lady who u can tell never made it so she ended up becoming an acting teacher instead. She actually looked like Tony Soprano's sister on Sopranos lol that be funny if it was her since she couldn't get work after Sopranos ended.
Bro theater class was fun in junior college, I banged out 4 chicks there. they were older too and thought I would be a star or something because I got the lead role twice in the shows hahaahh
dam dog I can only imagine how it is to be a celeb ***** must be thrown at them at will.
But I know those type of failed acting teachers sometimes they take it out on their students, we had a female like that who was a real ***** she would demand we do it right and would yell at us if we missed our ques
Gabe Montay money is a mystery ask him Gabe how do you survive doing JC theater, do you work?
Truth bombs, volume 1...
Inside word is Haymon fired Coppinger.
Arum rigged Pac vs Bradley and Horn for different reasons. Pac had no opponents (Floyd was ducking) so Arum needed the rematch (rematches with super draws always are huge, Chavez vs Randall, AJ vs Ruiz, etc.) Horn got the win because Pac refused to fight Crawford, which is what Arum wanted. Pac knew Arum would give Crawford the decision.
Most all American boxing writers have to follow the American agenda which now is to support PBC and it's frauds Wilder, Davis, Spence (will never face Crawford). And Canelo, another protected fraud. Canelo will never lose until the DAZN contract of $340m or whatever it is, reaches term.
Any rebellious, truth telling boxing writer will be banished and blackballed. All American boxing writers must worship Arum, Haymon, Oscar. If they do not, their boxing writer career will be over fast. Greg Leon. Scoop Malinowski. Thomas Hauser. Claude Abrams just got sick of the BS.
PBC is WWF. It's all rigged, every fight of consequence is rigged. Al Haymon does not even show up to watch his own shows because he knows the outcomes. Wilder, Spence, Davis have been designated to be money making stars so all have been protected and will be protected going forward by any means necessary.
Inside word is Joshua vs Ruiz was rigged. DAZN needs a big money fight for AJ because Fury and Wilder will not fight him. AJ vs Pulev, Miller, bum of the month, equates to peanuts. Ruiz has the Mexican demographic which is massive. Ruiz got the freebie and will lose the big money rematch by KO. He's not in AJ's league.
Lennox Lewis is a hired shill by Haymon and must lionize Wilder and all PBC fighters, he also is forbidden to talk about Crawford. Lewis obeys his unspoken but known orders.
Canelo vs Kovalev will be rigged for Canelo. Kovalev is at the end and is cashing out. He will be paid $14m to lose to Canelo, not counting the bonus, and a good chunk of that jackpot will be needed to pay off his two female accusers. Oscar is an idiot and already talked about his next plan, Canelo vs GGG 3, totally bypassing Kovalev. Canelo got annoyed by that idiotic move by Oscar, which all but reveals that Kovalev is in the tank. A smart promoter never shows his future cards like Oscar did by declaring Canelo GGG 3 is on for 2020. Of course he quickly backpedaled but he let the cat out of the bag.
Fury and Wilder have a secret business alliance. They both are minor draws compared to AJ so they are teamed up to minimize and discredit AJ more than they do each other. Funny how neither can agree to terms with AJ but they agree to terms to fight each other so easily eh? If Fury and Wilder do the rematch it will be another draw to build up each of their value.
Ortiz will dive vs Wilder. Ortiz has no leverage and no drawing power and there is no way in the world Haymon would ever let Ortiz beat his designated hwt franchise. Haymon is fully invested in Wilder. Ortiz, aged 50 at least, is happy to get some crumbs to dive from Haymon.
Remember the Malignaggi truth bomb: "Al Haymon can manipulate (rig) anything. What Al Haymon wants Al Haymon gets."
who is this dumbass

Cut the excess fat, how on Earth he got the job... Must have friends in high places. How this double wide hotdog got the job 8th world wonder
Praise Gawd!
...Us boxing fans just can't win...
Yea for those who think Dan is bad, wait for Kim and his biased BS. At least with Dan he did not seem to have an agenda to EVERYTHING he wrote. Also liked the fact he never really broke too many story's about possible upcoming fights but when he did write something you knew it was really gonna happen.
Never been a hug fan of Dan, but he is a he ll of a lot better then Kim. Steve is biased as he ll like his buddy Dougie Fisher. I hope this ends up to be untrue because Kim does not deserve that kind of position.
LMAO so how did that 90's garage band rockstar turn out? You said hes fat and still dresses in leather but he had to get a real job ultimately right? I doubt he still gets chicks in 2019 lol
Lets be fair to Gabe tho can u call up that theater and ask them if they pay their actors at all? Say you are a talented actor and you are thinking about auditioning and you were wondering if that community theater compensates its actors or do they act for the love of acting for free? We should at least determine if he's getting paid at all right?
I didnt know he turned down a good paying job here on this site? I honestly didnt know this site paid well? I assumed it was just getting by? Maybe now that CBS acquired it maybe now it does?
Man are you serious he got to interview Christian Bale? Damn Bale's my favorite Batman! Thought he killed it as John Connor too, American Psycho is the ish! Is that video up on YouTube or something? And you got to be shatting me he actually said to Bale that when he gets into character for a role BUAHAHAHAHA thats like telling Jordan hey you might want to work on a few of these pointers. LMFAO!
I agree with you on politics as a whole. Its the worst and people who are so passionate on either side of the left and right are both obnoxious to the core. Its better left not talked about in social settings maybe in a private one one one discussion or something but not out in the public and forcing it on everyones ears. This is why I stay away from politics threads and race bait threads. But based on what you told me it seems Gabe would be a Kamala supporter without even knowing her shady past of locking up parents and throwing the book at people doing weed.
We have a client who owns a big firm so we follow him from our companies social media accounts and all he does is bash Trump 24/7 like he's the first to respond from any post we obviously know hes some rich trust fund baby and doesnt actually work and probably his employees in the firm do everything for him because hes always online 24/7 bashing trump. Even tho Im anti trump I dont got time to bash him nor do I wanna waste my energy on a pointless thing to do on social media.
This is the same thing you are complaining Gabe does but the difference is our client is worth 25million and has cribs on both coasts LOL.
Community Theater usually doesn't compensate, what Gabe is doing is Community theater at a Junior College or at a non profit they dont usually pay at all
I did a few shows when I was going to community college years ago I took a theater class it was fun I needed to do improv for credit fun stuff and I did a few shows for fun, they paid ZERO its just students and random people auditioning for shows
Yeah this anti trump stuff is a product of media brainwashing, these people have mental illness caused by watching news from home and they start developing a bias or a hate.
I dont care about politics at all.
the Rockstar guy never worked, he is like Gabe, I think his only job he had was back in the 90s when he worked at AMC cinema as a move usher, but I think he collects welfare now or some disability stuff I think he gets money for claiming he is bipolar?. He still hangs around this bar or lounge that open mics and lets people perform its more a lounge.
This how he looks and dresses
http://assets.blabbermouth.net/media/vinceneilbiloxinov2018_638.jpg
damn ok that makes sense in all fairness to Gabe thats a pretty cool idea and he doesnt look as dirty and ugly as we both know him to be in this video? Maybe he actually took a shower for this one? LOL
why did u say it failed tho? no one watched it? was Jacobs the biggest named fighter he got on the show?
how did u know he got kicked out of the apt tho? are u just connecting the dots or u actually know like he didn't pay his share and got the boot?
man if im trying to be an actor the last sport Id try to write for is boxing. you'd probably get more connections covering like the X games or some extreme sports or some BS try to land like a Mountain Dew commercial from those connects or something.
shoot literally any sport: baseball, NBA, NFL would provide him with better connections to cross over to acting even WWE lol.
Now that you mention it someone told me Radio Raheem , Jim Gray and them all got into the party scene in the Entourage movie but I think they were all pretty much extras in that.
But your right he should work at Walgreens or Best Buy to feed himself. Dude if there's a demo reel u gotta post that here for us to critique lol. This threads getting epic levels now lol.
He reminds me of this one guy I met at the gym he was a wannabe rockstar who lived in his car. He was saying all he does is play his guitar until his fingers bleed. he like wanted me to either respect his grind and hustle and true artist lifestyle but I didnt even wanna talk to him at all I just finished up my sets and bounced. All these delusional artists are the same they all feel the world should revolve around them and respect them for being these true artists who never sold out or never got their big break as you mentioned. So yeah these guys are all pretty much the same it all comes down to end game whats the end game how long until they just swallow their pride and get a real job and start contributing to society like the rest of us? or they end up living in their cars or in gabes case homeless since he has no car.
im seriously wondering how much TR and Conte paid Gabe and these guys? Since all they did was praise TR and Conte like they were living legends lol. maybe conte gave him some money to be all pro Vada testing and blah blah. Thats the reason why he became this fake self proclaimed PED expert right?
I think Gabe has delusions of grandeur. He is also a social justice warrior from his coach. posting on twitter about politics like most of those weirdos. Im no trump guy but its annoying reading celebs and guys like Gabe bash him, how about stop watching news and just enjoy life all those politics does is to cause weak minded people to get angry and paranoid.
I think Gabe mentioned it before on doghouse forums that he got kicked out or something for not paying rent
the fighter vs writer failed, because they only had on episode and maxboxing didnt like it
Gabe wears that same black outfit everywhere.
What I noticed with Gabe is like you said those guys who think they are rockstars. I see those guys too lol, they cant let go of their dream its cool when you are young but when you are a grown ass man its not normal.
I remember my older cousins friend he was like 15 years older than me and I knew him since I was a little kid, he used to be a garage band rocker in the early 90s and was dreaming of being the next guns n roses, he was getting groupies at local shows and helooked cool at the time, now he is in his early 50s I think and he is fat, out of shape and still tries to dress like an 90s rocker with leather jacket, holed ripped jeans, and a bandana on his head. Dude needs to let it go the 90s moved forward you never made it as a rocker.
Gabe also was given a great job on Boxing Scene, he refused because as he claims his principles wouldn't allow how to kiss ass or not ask ped questions to golden boy or whatever. But this clown was given a good paying job here and he left it over stupid ****.
So the guy really is deluded. He could have gotten paid doing what he loves and traveling like Radio Rahim. But now he is doing community theater still claiming to be a talented actor.
TR never paid Gabe a dime. Only max boxing paid him.
I remember Gabe was doing interviews with A list actors for maxboxing, he interviewed Chrisitan Bale for The Fighter, and it was cringeworthy he was talking to Bale as if he was a legit actor himself, he said so Christian how did you get into the role of Dicky Eklund? And then Gabe said something like for myself when I get into roles I really dig deep and try to become the part hahahah and Bale was looking at this guy trying to figure out who is he I never seen him in any shows or movies. it was cringeworthy why would Gabe have no shame and try to speak like he was a legit actor to an A list oscar winner
