I'm sayin son. These promoters just don't have any imagination. They don't outside the box. Goldenboy makes a few strides here and there utilizing new strategies, but there is no form of shock marketing. No noise making. Boxing is a sport of tradition, but that doesn't mean the marketing should be too.

Anyway, my fav Arsenio moment. This **** was epic, never will there be anything like this again. Rap has too many egos.

Thanks for posting that.

You know, I had forgotten how charismatic a rapper that Treach was back in his day. Not the greatest flow, but definitely a magnetic rapper. Gotta watch/listen to him.

Can you imagine if the current big fights had both guys sitting there on a popular late night show and talking smack to each other's faces? That is what is missing today.

Some of these novice fans might hate "trash talk", but it sells a fight and makes THE SPORT bigger.

Watch from 2:10...it is HILARIOUS!!

Arsenio is the man

I'd like to see Iran Barkley sit there and say that stuff to Benn.

Howard Stern hates Arsenio's guts
