    The point is Steve Kim and Michael Montero defended everything about Crawford as long as he was with Top Rank, but as soon as he turns on Top Rank they start the negativity against him.

    It shows where their loyalties lie. If there was any doubt.

    That's certainly no way for objective boxing media to act.
    your first issue was thinking they were objective
    They have been for Top Rank for years
    they are just regular guys who happen to do some work in boxing and they are really the only few who even speak their mind on other issues on social media
    You don't see fat Dan speaking about politics or anything as far as I know. They are what they are, I'm sure they have a relationship with Arum and don't wanna burn bridges

      Media people should be objective when it comes to the sport's power brokers, not be concerned about "burning bridges" with them.

      These two act like they are on Arum's payroll but pretend to be fair and unbiased commentators.

        I agree but let's be honest, "media" is not what it used to be. Any guy with a microphone and headset can be a podcaster and "media" star nowadays
        people making millions sitting in their basement talking about politics or sports or whatever. I wish I had the gift of gab like they do. Now every kid thinks they are gonna be a yotube star or influence of some sort.

          Good point. Some of these “sites” and channels are just some garbage dude who figured out how to monetize the tension among boxing fans of different race.

          Thats why I avoid them. It sucks that their vile
          mentality has seeped into NSB.

            Now Montero is getting into it with BoxingScene's Jake Donovan. Over race-related stuff of course.

              That didn't take long.

              Just in case anyone forgot that they act like Top Rank's media attack dogs and shills.
              I don't do Twitter, what are they saying? Are they attacking this legal adventure he has chosen to take up or are they starting to chip away at his credentials as a Boxer.

              Everybody is entitled to their opinion on Crawfords lawsuit thing but I can't stand it when when shills reverse their thoughts on Boxers ability or opposition when it suits the company.

                He's the very same guy who gave Montero the boot from the BWAA from my understanding.

                  This thing you speak of, I don't believe exists.
