    where the sympathy for Richard Colon??

    where the sympathy for Richard Colon ..i remember magoom when threw the same thing and there wear theads for months and donations link....Even HBO did a donation for him......But the Young Puerto Rican kid who managed by Al haymon get no love sympathy or talked on about on boxingscenen? Why is that?

    Is because he a haymon fighter? Or what?

    I can barely find updates on him but that is typical boxing which is why I'm always on the boxers side when it comes to negotiations and guys wanting to make the most money they can especially for big fights. You just never know when a fight can be your last fight.

    Fans, Promoters, some Managers, they really don't give a damn about the fighters.

      We were talking about him for awhile, maybe you missed it. We got a couple of updates, but as of recent there's been no news. Don't think we weren't here sympathizing for the guy because he's managed by Al Haymon.

      Take your accusations somewhere else, we all get the sport is rough.

        If you are on social media at all you should be seeing hashtags for him or groups about him.

        Thing is he wasn't on the big stage yet so obviously he's not gonna get as much attention as guys like Magomed or McClellan who were fighting on premium cable. Also the harsh reality is a lot of us don't really love reliving these situations by thinking about these guys THAT often.

        Plus the progress to be made in these situations are typically minimal so its discouraging to hear updates when the best outcome end game is maybe he'll be able to walk by himself & do about half of the daily things a human does without assistance.

            His brother(s) is on twitter (Ricardo Colon???) & posts updates. FB gots a Prichard Colon group that posts updates as well. #prichardcolon

            Fans, Promoters, some Managers, they really don't give a damn about the fighters.
            Honestly yea. I mean there are some people who give a f#ck, but most aren't gonna give a f#ck about you & a lot of the ones that will give a f#ck will be on a timer so 5yrs+ after you're all f#cked up you & your family is still gonna be up ****creek.

            And this is why fighters need to look out for their best interests AT ALL TIMES. Cuz when things go bad few people are gonna help you & your family out.

              Here's the twitter hashtag that has Colon info & his brothers latest update from a couple weeks back for anyone who's legit curious on his status cuz I've seen "how is Colon doing" threads a couple times. If your on FB more do a search for Prichard Colon & a group will pop up.

                see prichard colon sad story but its over with in terms of any big news update for him. Hes gonna stay in that state for the rest of his life sad but true so thats why no one talks about it no more cause their is nothing to update on, trust me even the fb group will die off eventually and the hashtags will stop aswell.
