It's common knowledge that some journalists in the media are on the Top Rank payroll?

[PRINCE O' PROSE]

I know for a fact that Top Rank shuns publications who don't write what they want to hear. If you criticize Manny you can expect your press credentials and access to their fighters to be cut off, and that is a big deal for anyone covering the sport. Look how Dan Rafael attacks Floyd and praises Manny to the skies, and how he fell in line to hype the Mosley debacle even though he knew it was a bad matchup.

Maybe journalists are not "on the Top Rank payroll" per se, but Top Rank certainly uses its clout to unduly influence coverage of their fighters, so that you are often not getting objective reporting on anything involving Top Rank fighters and their opponents.

And BINGO was his name.




Nice sig, BTW. That's exactly what the majority of members of David Haye's native fanbase who visit this forum are - reprobates.

I completely agree.

there are plenty of articles/writers that criticize pac.

new flash, floyd turds. not every body who praise pac or criticize floyd means they are on somebody's pay roll.

ya'll just butthurt not everybody's kissing floyd's ass

[Ryannn]

how about that sad sack who posted the article about pac's sparring partner to about 3,000 non-boxing related websites?

so we're gonna assume he/she is on floyd's payroll?

Floyd's hasn't paid him yet due to sloppy writing.
They were really intent on spreading it like wildfire were it not for that "filipino sparring partner"...
Talk about being dumb...smh.
