In december 2016 he got a very nice payday against Parker. This stories about broken man are just silly.

He earned it and now is time to take it all in. Even if he looses his next fight he is in a better position to make money than before.

Great to have a story like this in boxing, nice change of pace from the usual reasons boxing makes the headlines. Delighted for Ruiz.

He was put on ice by Arum after the Parker fight, also a million dollar payday isn't anything close to that after you pay your team and the tax man. So if he was put on ice for a year with a family to support he could have been close to applying for financial assistance as strange as that sounds.

Marco Antonio Barrera is the most Mexican fighter I really admired met him 2008 at Mandalay Bay.

What was he like?

DEAR BOXING SCENE EDITOR (Keith, Cliff, whoever)

SHAME ON YOU FOR SNEAKING THE IBO ON THE END OF WBA, WBO, IBF IN WHAT WAS AN OTHERWISE GREAT ARTICLE BY JESUS MILANO.

Feel free at any time to stop that short term financial gain mentality (ibo advertising money) over the long term detriment of sport (need less abc’s orgs to attract fans and turn mainstream, not more).
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION.
