Comments Thread For: Espinoza: If Rahman Wasn't Committed To Making 200 Pounds, Shouldn't Have Signed Contract

So why did Showtime do Corrales vs Castillo 2. They wanted him weak

[Babadoux]

Espinoza and Jake's team are right here. Rahman Jr didn't even deserve to headline PPV coming off a tko loss. He agreed to fight at 200lbs, which was always a question mark, out of his own free will, yet it seems he never truly intended to make the weight. He thought the clout of fighting Paul justified the unprofessional behavior that ended up getting this fight canceled. He messed up and has damaged his reputation with this move.

I love boxing as an art. But I’ve come to despise how it’s run.
Ufc deserves to steal the fans of boxing. Far more entertaining match ups. No one is panicked to lose their zero.
everyone trying to cash grab and enter boxing and just treat it like a circus. Which it completely is.

boxing, is a complete joke. And fck this entire article. And that sht show of a “fight”

Right, it's as simple as that.

OK Mr. Espinoza, let's get Brandun Lee a real opponent! Lee vs. Ergashev! Make It Happen!

If Jake Paul was committed to fighting a professional boxer, he shouldn't have tried to have a heavyweight drop to Cruiser on short notice...

The biggest loser in this disaster is serrano, she was too cowardly to take Katie offer and huge rematch money. I hope she's crying now.

Fury outweighed Wilder 40-60 pounds & they still fought Wilder just got more respect from me. But Rahman was hoping to pull the overweight trick. Missed a nice check z& probably burned a bridge with Showtime

This was rahmans biggest pay day off his life. He'd of said anything to make the fight but it got to close to the fight and he's realised he ain't making no 200lb safely I thought this could be a issue when they said a heavyweight had to drop to 200lbs. Now showtimes been left with there d*ck in there hands no ppv. No show.

espinozo is a fool for putting this on. you think he didnt know that rahman was 232 pounds when it was signed and that this would happen?

even shawn porter called this, said it would get cancelled and Jake paul would start up the spin zone and use it for attention and claim a "victory"

Jake now has two imaginary victories over Fury and Rahman, dude is becoming like Zellenoff with imaginary victories.

Instead of predicting to us about how Rahman Jr wouldn’t make weight, why didn’t Porter tell us before his fight with Crawford that he was already planning to make it his last fight? Or that his training camp for the Crawford fight had been a garbage dump fire with his father constantly complaining that Shawn wasn’t preparing properly? Or that his father was already planning to throw in the towel if Shawn got in real trouble during the fight? Why didn’t Mr Predictor tell us all of that beforehand so that we wouldn’t have wasted time paying attention to his fight with Crawford - a fight he’d already lost it before the first bell?
