Good to see Bud Crawford calling The Golden Fake out, albeit very politely.

Emotional outbursts on social media will change nothing. Jake Paul? Can start by cutting him out of any conversation - he's a clown.

Ryan probably understands today’s marketing better than any other boxer . That’s why Stank got his biggest payday.Give credit where it’s due.

Not to be that guy but it has nothing to do with marketing. He's popular aside from boxing for same reason Oscar was. Cause of their looks as well as a good promoter. Marketing has nothing to do with it
