    And? Why wouldn't he argue for his own interest? Seems you've expended a lot of energy and rancour over several days because you're concerned for the interests of Arum and ESPN. I know you said you don't watch any other sports but perhaps you could take up reading some classic novels, chess and certainly meditation to help with that impotent rage.

      Yawn, you both lack the ability to think critically, ESPN/TR put up the money Christ almighty you'd think i was engaging with people on the short bus...
      He can argue his interests all he wants, won't change the reality of the situation.

      And no one is even close to rage, I actually find it laughable I have to say the same thing several different ways and it still doesn't get through to people but it's cute that you think i'd be bothered in the slightest by a back and forth on the internet.

        You have the tone of someone continually on the verge of losing their composure. Yes, they're "putting up the money" but Haney is one of the main participants and he's negotiating. If Haney gets his way we get to see the fight sooner leaving him open to fight three rather than two times in 2023. All things boxing fans should support. Let the bean counters worry if putting it on a few months earlier affects their profit.

          They should respect the man's religious obligation.

            As I said to the other guy my concern is the fight not getting made, if it doesn't get made in march which like Huggie wants, which is very unlikely it not might get made at all and he may just move up, which is not what I or anyone wants to happen before we see him against Loma...

            And you can think what you like about my alleged tone on the internet (LOL) it gets tiresome/boring repeating yourself to simpletons...

              Yeah, you give the impression of a real intellectual.

                More intellectual than the pair of you, who lack the ability to think critically continue to be disingenuous in responses and only see one side of an "argument" and not only díck ride Haney but each other, It doesn't get anymore brain dead than being in an echo chamber.

                  Bald assertion is rarely convincing. If your argument was strong enough it would stand on its merit but your continual use of pejoratives hints at some doubt within yourself.

                  The "argument" as you so grandiosely describe it is redundant anyway. You're making assumptions about variables you cannot quantify (i.e. profitability of a fight in March rather than May) and assuming that's even the reason for TR/ESPN's position.

                  I would ease off on the critical thinking talk when you probably cannot even define it.

                    I still don't understand the issue. Ramadan 2023, according to my google search, starts on March 22 and lasting 30 days. Plenty of dates to choose from starting February. SMH.

                      It is "strong enough" your inability to comprehend it fully isn't my issue.

                      And I can quantify it, it's exactly why I asked "big dunn" to name a big fight in March and he could only names PPVs, they're trying to put this fight on for FREE...

                      like I said above you inability to objectively analyse the FACTS isn't my issue.
