    Skip Bayless going to be part of the commentating team?WTF

    WTF I was browsing in the ESPN page and there was report that skip bayless might get in the commentating team, I reloaded it and the article was no longer there so I can't give a link. I don't know if it's true or not but that is horrible.

    Skip Bayless signed a four year contract with Fox Sports last year.

      Stop making up ****** lies man, Skip works for Fox, and has an exclusive contract, unless you are referring to Stephen A Smith, who does the boxing in studio analysis for Top rank fights

          Oh? I didn't know about the Fox thing with Skip since I don't follow much on the channels other than boxing scheds. Thanks for the clarification.

            I won't miss Atlas if he goes but Bayless would be ten times worse. He is just as loud and overbearing but he knows nothing about boxing.

              As someone from the UK, i don't know much about Skip Bayless. Is he a general sports guy on TV or does he specialise in boxing talk? i've only ever seen him when i watch boxing videos.

              I'd hope he's not getting paid just to talk boxing because he really hasn't got a clue about anything.

                General sports guy and intentional troll. His angle is basically to say something insane and controversial to get hitpoints. He said Manny was robbed against Mayweather, that the ref stopped the Mayweather-McGregor fight to save Floyd, Nate Diaz cheated by outweighing Connor by 40 pounds when they fought, etc etc etc.

                    I always figured that was the nature of the show and he played the heel to generate ratings, but over time he fell for his own memes and played himself.
