I can appreciate Bread not wanting to rag on a Philly legend. But what happened to Jeff Chandler is no mystery.

Jeff eventually lost and didn't want to risk blindness so he chose to have surgery and never came back.

Oscar is absolutely right read the Ali Act there is no justification saying that they do not enforce the Ali Act.
The Manager of a fighter absolutely cannot negotiate the purses for fighters.
You can only shame yourself if you play ignorant of these facts and not reveal truth to the Boxing Audience,,,,

There was talk of Bud ducking Spence. Fight happens and Spence is DONE.
History is riddled with similar stories.

Boots vs Ortiz will happen. Someone is going to get beat up like a pińata and all the talk of who ducked who will be forgotten.
