    Why no mention of Giovanni Parisi's death?

    Sorry if someone has already made this topic. Its really not an "RIP" type topic because I am sure its been already mentioned.

    My question is why wasn't it mentioned on the FNF broadcast? I mean props to them for dropping in the good words for Raul Macias, but why no mention of Parisi's passing? They had ample time with all the fights ending within the distance.

    Parisi was a 2 time WBO champion (though it was a time when the WBO wasnt very strong) and also an Olympic Gold Medalist.

    They didn't even have to devote as much time to it as they did Macias, but a "hey by the way" would have been nice.

      I googled it and there arent even very many articles.
      I wasn't expecting a big deal to be made, but you'd think some more little blurb (like 1 paragraph) articles would pop up in places.
