    Great news! ProBox is the best. Such great, competitive fights. I love all their analysis because I don’t need to agree, just be genuine.

        No clue. Someone who's word I trust claims to have seen financial docs that back it up. However I have not seen that with my own eyes, so it could indeed be BS. But seeing what he spent on a hotel conversion and other things here in the Tampa area, its certainly plausible that he has significant net worth.

        But I also know that he is notoriously CHEAP, so who knows for sure? lol

          Yea the White Sands facility doubling as a venue & rehab center is one of the weirder boxing venues Ive seen so he definitely gives...a confusing vibe to me with maybe some unique frugality.

          The fact he came outta nowhere, to me anyway as I believe he had did shows before, with Mike Tyson Promotions suggested he was a man of some money & connections even back then. Probox coming on scene with big names & adding to them suggests he gots some money behind him too. So him being a hundred millionaire to billionaire doesn't seem fair fetched to me.

              At least he's still going to do it somewhere, I guess.

                Bread man started growing on me but often didn’t agree with him
                Sometimes his opinion seemed bias
                Doesn’t help that he’s a trainer I guess

                  he deserves to be doing color commentary on tv boxing shows - I hope he gets picked up for that

                    Some of these other mfers tho....
                    Keith Idec was fired for writing backwards. He won't be missed.

                      Exactly. There is no journalistic standard to speak of when Hans Themistode is the most prolific 'writer' on this site. Within one year, most sports news will be ghostwritten by LLM apps - if that's not already happening. I swore that Hans Themistode was a 1st gen Bulgarian AI, but he's actually a real human who just went to US public schools.
