    You ever wonder if Al Haymon has it in the contracts to make sure his fighters state his name in every interview?

      I still can't believe they are pursuing this horrific fight.

      I thought the title meant Andre Dirrell. What is happening with Andre Dirrell? Has he retired? Why hasn't he fought anyone in like 4 years now?

          Not true...

          Espinoza was and continues to manage Abner Mares and Ponce De Leon.

          The reason he's an adviser is because he doesn't have (and, for whatever reason, doesn't want) a manager's or promoter's license.

              Look up the Mohammed Ali Act. A manger is not technically allowed to collect $ from both fighters in the same fight.

                    No, I meant Hopkins-Murat.

                    Dirrell-Bika should be good.
