    I never liked Stephen A…

    but he is so on point with this take. Peep his comments. Here is a part of his take from YouTube. The rest of what he said is on ESPN.

    https://******************/llEaRl1r_i4?*************

    He also talked about how Jake Paul proves that you don’t need promoters or managers, and mentions how the UFC and White always make the fights that fans want to see…and how us fans don’t have to wait like in boxing. He mentioned Kellerman also lol….

    It all began when organised crime ran boxing, it was never straightened out since those times, its now so big with so much money to be had that it needs congress to rewrite the rules it's governed by, its hard to change the course of a monster once its let loose I think we are stuck with it.

      And the fact that people who don’t fight…want to make sure that their pockets are lined up is the biggest problem in boxing today. I can’t stand Arum and his in house fights. Haymon saws this and didn’t really want to work with the man. Now, now I can’t stand Arum, Hearn and Haymon. But I’m a forgiving guy. I don’t hold grudges. Don King might’ve robbed you, but he made the fights that we wanted to see…with a few delays here and there, but there wasn’t any big fights that were missed on his ledger.

        Boxers are too ****** and low iq to promote themselves. A self starter like Jake Paul can promote himself because he's of slightly higher than average intelligence

          Boxers are smarter than you think. Paul is entertainment. He’s not a real fighter. His business model is something that fighters should take a look at doe.

              What the hell has Jake Paul proven? Why are y'all acting like that guys career isn't a failing clown show. He's been pulling out of fights left and right because no one wants to see him fight. Is that the future you want for boxing? Lets be real, Jake Paul is desperately trying to get a fight with a smaller boxer like Pacquiao or Floyd, an aging boxer who won't take him seriously so he can make one big pay day then leave the fight game. Boxers need promoters. Everybody does not have the ***ish connections to promote and put together a fight.

                Boxers don’t need promoters. I don’t give credence to Paul that he’s actually a fighter, but he sells tickets.

                  I hold up Demetrius Andrade as proof that not having a good promoter or manager can stall your career.

                    Many people think that it’s his style. Not me. I like Andrade and don’t like the fact that he’s being avoided. The Mike McCallum syndrome. Too dangerous to fight and make no money with.
