Is this not the dumbest reason ever for a fighter suspension?

I asked Dan Rafael the following question in his chat and got the following answer:

Andres (Chula Vista, CA)

What's the deal with Deontay Wilder? He hasn't fought yet this year. What's with his inactivity?

Dan Rafael (1:53 PM)

He was on a brief suspension in Ohio for some ridiculous thing -- long story but bottom line is music with some vulgar words was played during one of his walk ins, which is against the rules of the Ohio commission. And so even though it was not music Deontay picked or asked to be played, he took a suspension for it, which was later reduced. He'll be back on a Golden Boy show in the next month or so.

that's extremely petty...what's up the Ohio Commision's ass?


its a boxing event, not a Church function

[S.G.]

and he didn't even have a word in what music was picked? lame

[mellow_mood]

this is reeeeeeeeeeee****ealous

[Spray_resistant]

That is just another instance of boxing ***etry, this guy needs to stay active and needs some round in to learn how to fight.....I am sure the thought of naughty words in his intro song getting him in trouble was the furthest thing from his mind.

Wow... too much. Ohio should be boycotted by relevant fighters.

[βetamax]

Okay, but it sounds like he's only suspended in Ohio?

I thought he was out because of a hand injury.

I agree. Why go to Ohio if you run the risk of accidently doing something that could get you suspended?

A hand injury would make sense and that's the type of answer I thought I was going to get when I asked the question, but that's not what Dan Rafael said.

Also, with suspensions the ABC usually wants fighters and promoters to honor suspensions issued by any commission and from what I've heard all the major promoters do it just on the basis of not created political biases against reciprocity. Because then you can work in any state without having to worry about cutting through too much red tape brought up because you just wouldn't honor a suspension.

Pffft. Who lives in Ohio that likes Boxing anyway?





















Oh yea, mangler does. :down:
