God bless his soul, and comfort his family still here. His name was prominent in boxing.

He couldn't get fights for Andrade, and Benn is in deep trouble! Let's see if he can close the deal on Haney vs. Garcia?

Benn's sh^t is his own sh^t. I also don't think Eddie reallllllllly was down to throw him in with just anyone at any point. So couldn't really make big fights for him. Eubank was never a big fight to me.

Andrade is fair tho. I just think he's turned a corner lately with making fights he hadn't been making before. In general I think a lot of fights will be makeable for the next few years with Saudi throwing money around. Eddie & Bob seem down. Idk if Al is yet.

I think Al just wants to be "The Man" in the U.S.! I wish they would release the schedule for Amazon Prime! Looking forward to Spence vs. Crawford II @ 154, and Stanionis vs. Thurman!

Dunkin was a voice for so many who literally didn’t think about only lining his own pockets
Condolences to the loved ones of a diamond in the rough

Idk that Al thinks like that. He doesn't seem the type from the things ppl say about him. Sounds like he's just not a fan of how boxing has worked in recent times with promoters running too much of it.

I'd assume we hear more about the Amazon schedule this month sometime. I think the move is to have Tank debut the Amazon deal ideally. Few to no one is THAT hyped about Errol vs Bud 2.

Facts, but I am! I really want to see how much the weight cut had to do with the outcome of the the first fight! I also hope Tank chooses Shakur Stevenson, or Frank Martin, over Pitbull Cruz!

Frank seems like the move to me but who knows. They might do Pitbull to get Mexican fans onboard. I don't think there is much chance its Shakur. Shakur gots one more TR fight before he tests free agency. So Shakur is more likely later in the year than next.

I'm like a 3 outta 10 curious about how much weight mattered in Errol vs Bud. I don't things go THAT sideways THAT quickly if it was merely a weight thing. I don't think it helped obv, but I don't think it changes the outcome if weight isn't an issue at 154. I think Errol had far bigger issues that diminished him. The accident, the eye. The being at the wrong weight for yrs longer than he should have is probably a distant 3rd to me. But the way Bud was ahead of Errol all night idk that the outcome woulda been different if we time machined Errol to himself pre-accident. And I'm a cat who was picking Errol before & after the accident but it felt more 50/50 post-accident.

I thought it was 50/50 too, even after the accident, but I still want to see the rematch @ 154. It removes ALL doubt!

For all the eulogies, how much of a hero was Dunkin really? We know Jaron Ennis is suing the late manager's company (or was he a promoter without a broadcast deal?). Looks like Ennis got tied into an onerous contract which didn't deliver.

As far back as 2001, Dunkin and someone named Barrett Silver were trying to take nearly a third of Corrales' purse for the Floyd fight (link). Silver is presumably a private investor who now appears to run a solar panel company.

According to the court papers that were filed, Dunkin is to receive $140,000 and Silver $280,000 as their portions of Corrales' $1.4 million purse. An attached copy of the contract between the parties indicates Dunkin is entitled to 10 percent and Silver is entitled to 20 percent of the purses of Corrales' fights.
