I Got In A Twitter War With Dan Rafael

[John Locke]

This fight would be garbage on regular HBO, to put it on PPV is absolute comedy

[Herr Schmeling]

That ether from fat Dan!!! Kkk ****

[-Kev-]

Dan Rafael is keeping 100. This fight being PPV is a joke.

[LetOutTheCage]

He made you look ****** OP, good job.

[A.K]

this ppv wont sell over 100k buys its a bad move by hbo.

[Dr Rumack]

If you haven't been blocked by Dan Rafael you're a casual

[b00g13man]

Hyperbole much?

[Eff Pandas]

I hate when I'm forced to agree with Fat Dan. Damn you TS.

Although I do agree anything with Kirkland has the potential to be a fun fight, but the problem is everything that has the potential to be fun shouldn't be a PPV fight. These are two guys who haven't fought in over a year (Cotto 15 months, Kirkland 21 months) & both lost their last fights (to the same guy, Canelo). F#ck man Kirkland hasn't even won a fight vs anyone in 3 years. This isn't a fight that should be on PPV.

The #CottoKirkland promotion for their ill-advised PPV kicked off Monday. My column on the sinking ship: https://t.co/wdUgVLrsdX #boxing

@danrafaelespn @espn you should be helping boxing not attacking it

@SadiqAlzergani Silly. I attack things that are bad. Praise what is good. Go put your head back in the sand.

@danrafaelespn it's a fight with two power punchers who have bad chins, it's a possible foty which is good for mainstream boxing

Listen kid, it's not a war when you get your arse handed to you.

Btw are you afghan, kurd or something?

I've heard this has more to do with the Roc Nation/HBO/Beyonce concerts dynamic than purely a HBO decision.

That said I'll take the over on 100k as I don't think it'll do THAT bad, but for sure its not doing good numbers,
