    A well-paid whore is still a whore but what makes her above the others in that she is well-paid which means she will be able to leave the life quicker if she doesn't like it or begin to choose who she allows to ****. There are levels to this thing and corn-fed boy is a level below Joshua.
    Yes, he is a level below Joshua. No one is arguing that. But you should accord some level of respect to fighters. Thankfully, they do to themselves, instead of rationalizing what kind of whore they should be. I think we're done here. Good day.

      I wonder if Al Haymon's PBC didn't get ruined by HBO's refusal to have his fighters on their air?

      He might not have been expecting that to happen.

                    Anheuser-Busch InBev.

                    Look into them and their shareholders.
