What do you think of Dan Rafael getting..

[jmrf4435]

Involved in beef wars with current and former boxers? The latest exchange being with Adrien Broner tonight. I find it childish and a bit distasteful that Dan does this as a senior journalist for the most popular sports network in the world. It seems insecure at best....I think if that were a prominent NFL journalist the backlash would be through the roof

What do you think?

I saw a video on this but haven't seen all of the tweets, especially not from Dan's side

Its the media bro. Its like tmz for all of them now. If Dan didnt act this way he wouldnt have gotten any recommendations. I dont condone what u stated but ive learned to get used to it.

no i actually agree and not because im a broner fan. hes telling people to thank him and **** i mean give me a break seriously. hes saying he won by ko didnt he just call out froch for retiring? i mean who the hell does this guy think he is

"Apparently @AdrienBroner said it is my fault he won't do any interviews. I guess I did the world a favor. lol"

"So @AdrienBroner at his own presser today said only one word, the n-word. Classy."

"Looks like I won that one. By KO!! Guess I will go brush my hair!!!!!!!!"

You should all thank me!

It's ****ing odd. I liked dan for a long time, but he's become arrogant and condescending and sometimes forgets how much boxers put on the line every time they get in the ring.

Fat Dan would have nothing to say of any of these people confronted him to his face.

[b00g13man]

It's childish and unprofessional. A journalist should be above all that.

Being the senior writer for espn/boxing means nothing. I'd take any of the writers on crybabyscene in a heart beat over fat dan.

[R_Walken]

First off I don't even disagree with what he's saying as far as Broner / Khalil being for a belt but


It's a joke that Fat Dan is even in the position he's in. Espn is the biggest platform for sports there is and this fat slob who can't even walk up a flight of stairs let alone box Constantly talks bad about some of the best in the sport and acts like a complete hack.

He spent years sh.itting on anything Haymon affiliated until the PBC was brought over to ESPN and now he acts like the company yes man he is and eased up.

He knows almost nothing about the sport and does a disservice to it by being in the spot he's in. I read a deadspin article a couple years ago that laid it out perfectly on why Fat Dan is a mediocre corporate whore journalist and I agree with it completely people should check it out

I think he's part of the reason why Youtubers and bloggers have been able to be so successful because you can't get a good opinion from him and it makes hard core fans look else where for their information because it doesn't come from Fat Dan or ESPN.
