    BoxingScene's Dave Greisman is there, he said the atmosphere there was electric, even in the preliminary fights. A lot of people have told me that the atmosphere at those fights is totally superior to boxing but boxing will always be my thing. It's something familiar to me, the environment is just me.

    And quite literally at some fights LOL. I've gone to a lot of boxing shows where it was empty and the only people there were media who had gotten in free anyways.

      I dunno about Boxing but xcaret seems to know more about this guy so go ask him...

      "Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O. Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Knee-deep Schitt, Inc.

      Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt and they had 6 children: Holie Schitt, The twins; Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt and Bull Schitt.
      Jack and Noe divorced. Noe later married Mr. Sherlock and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.

      Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt and they had Chicken Schitt. Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt married the Happensbrothers in a dual ceremony.

      The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg, Byrd and Horse. Bull Schitt left home to tour the world. He recently returned with his new bride, Pisa Schitt."

            Question for Sensational:

            How do you keep your objectivity about a fighter in an upcoming fight when you have a personal relationship with them? Or, in other words, say you're friends with a fighter but are responsible for writing a pre-fight analysis on said fighter; where maybe you don't think he'll win. How do you cope with that?...

              It's easy, fighters don't pay me.

              I have to report things that might be detrimental to them. I write about a lot of guys that I might think are jerkoffs, but if it's a story, it's a story. Luckily in my situation I'm a freelancer so I get to pick my stories. I don't like writing about what people tell me to write about.

              I don't get too personal with fighters. I was doing an interview with a fighter over lunch and his PR said something that he could write this meal off as a business expense because his photographer was there, his PR and his writer. I quickly corrected them saying, no I'm BoxingScene's writer. We equally split the check.

              I don't have to take the angle of previewing the fight, maybe I'll do a profile piece describing their surroundings and what they have coming up. I don't always say that one guy is superior to him, I might address that they are considerable underdogs going in, however. I'll get their take on that situation and sometimes they'll give me the craziest answers but whatever.

              The way I know if I'll continue to cover a fighter is simple. I prefer to cover subjects solidly grounded in reality. If they give me answers that I feel are self-deluded, I usually don't cover them again.

                  I discussed with another writer today the principle of partaking of the buffet table. The way I see it, my conscience would not bother me to eat free food and then sharply criticize my hosts if need be. I've been known to do that in the past LMAO
