Fat Boy Dan contract won't be renewed by ESPN

[TheGR8TESTOAT]

He doesnt take roids anymore or supps, roids or supps with hormones can destroy your hormone balance its why you have to take a post cycle therapy to bring your levels down normally. Taking roids one time and stopping can result in life long acne even if you dont take it anymore it affects people differently.

Yup, he loved football. Im not sure but he could have played for a jc team after high school? I think he was taking supplements in the 90s, most of those stuff had pro-hormones basically oral steroids. He was probably taking creatine, andro and other stuff.Once you screw your endocrine system like that it will cause hormonal imbalance thats also why you a lot of women in adulthood get acne from various hormonal changes from meds.

Doug and steve im guessing were friends before maxboxing, have no clue how they met, only remember thomas hauser suing them over their first website and winning.

Gabe is from the gay area san francisco became friends with them in like 2007 posting on doghouse and max boxing forums and then met them at a fight. Gabe is a narcissist who keeps talking about how he is an artist and amazing actor who was just never given a big break. He also thinks he is handsome yet looks like a mexican millhouse off the simpsons cartoon and he thinks he is a ped expert yet he looks like he never lifted weights in his life. I know he used to train at wild card and fortune boxing

damn bro how do u know all this stuff man? you work in the sport as well or something?

yeah I knew Steve, Doug, and Gabe were all boys and I know most fans complain about Steve and Gabe. I've met all 3.

Steve was cool to me when I saw him at the fights, but I do see how the fans get irritated with him. They say anyone who disagrees with him pretty much gets blocked by him for having a different opinion. Also a lot of fans and writers felt he was too Top Rank pro and anti PBC and Haymon and felt that was unprofessional to be so biased.

Doug was always the best out of the 3 to me. Doug was always professional and did not think he was a big super star like the other 2 do when you see them at fights. I would ask Doug his predictions right before a fight and he'd give me his honest opinions. I knew Doug was the first one to really blow up and move on to better things with the Ring and GB and rightfully so.

Gabe, I unfortunately have to agree with you as well bro. I met him a few times a the fights and he was cool with me but I totally see what your saying in that he thinks he's some big artist genius and some Brad Pitt guy or something LOL. I always thought he looks like Tim Burton but more anorexic. Who would find that to be handsome??? LMAO. I remember he would feud with all the other writers over real small petty things. I remember he was claiming he'd throw hands with this other writer, but they never did when they saw each other at the fights. Some of the other writers told me he thinks he's the PED expert and the only one who can comment on PED usage and scandals, when he never even had any qualifications to do so in the first place. I never knew he worked for this site for one week tho? What happened they fired him after only one week? LOL.

I also felt it was sketchy that they were all so PRO Conte, like Conte himself was sketchy and suspect as hell. So we all supposed to just fully trust Conte now because a few writers tell us to cause they boys with him?

So why did Thomas Hauser sue them for their site? Did they talk bad about Hauser or something or steal his ideas? I assumed they only worked for Maxboxing and some dude named Max owned it?

Some of my friends used to subscribe and pay that monthly fee to see their exclusive videos and breaking reports and I was like WTF why would you pay a monthly fee for that? Thats why I was shocked that the Athletic started going back to that route as well.

This has been an interesting thread. Thanks for the info. I could never stand these guys, and thought they made Fat Dan look like the greatest boxing writer of all time. Weird weaboo fanboys with bizarre agendas.... it's like they're less a fan of the sport than they are their weird internet-based alliances and fanboyisms and ****. You nailed it with narcissistic.

All three of them are a cancer on the integrity of the sport.

LMAO I always thought Doug was the best of the 3. He never got into the trolling back and forth like the other 2 did.

I know they hated Fat Dan so isn't that ironic that Steve ends up working side by side with Dan at ESPN now lol.

Yeah but my biggest problem with them, well one of the biggest problems was their blatant Top Rank biased where they'd never criticize TR or Arum but always bashed PBC and Al and Floyd for literally anything.

I think a lot of that goes back to them (well at least Kim and Gabe) thinking they’re rockstars..... remember Arum gives his phone number out to established bloggers and is known to feed them dirt.... be it fact or Arums usual bull****, meanwhile Haymon more or less acts like they don’t even exist. Do they even get press passes to PBC fights?

Tom Hauser sued them over the website name I believe, it was a **** move and he won. He picked on small fry but thats the type of guy Hauser is for some reason very spiteful but later he was cool with both kim and fischer

Dougie Fischer is ***ish and black I believe? he has always been cool to me, people hate on him but what I remember most about them was max boxing they were the FIRST boxing blog website type deal and they were the first to really put me onto Manny Pacuqiao, and Edwin Valero they had so much exclusive training camp coverage, and sparring.

I think it was Steve Kim who gave Manny Pacquiao the nickname the Pacman on one of their weekly shows, Pacs nickname was The Destroyer before. you had to be a member I think it was called the next round? I had a paid membership for 9 dollars a month and they sent me a xxxl shirt lol


Its crazy how Maxboxing fell off so did doghouse boxing that site is dead, but Google became biased and started changing their algorithim so if you type if Pacquiao sites with more authority who make millions will get all the front page positions. before google would put sites dedicated just to boxing for boxing searches now you can get a site like Vogue outranking a boxing site because Vogue is rich and powerful and google wants money they dont give small sites like doghouse any shine. you cant get rich anymore that way

Also Gabe is a weirdo this guy really thinks he is some artist always boasting about doing local theater, dog wants to be cool so bad but he comes off like a nerd he doesnt have that appeal at all or charisma.

I still remember when Steve Kim visited wild card back in 2002 before the Barrera fight and he and Dougie kept praising Pacquiao, they really were fans of him right off the bat and would say things like I have never seen a smaller fighter this exciting and they said he can be the biggest star in the spport this was back around 2003 to 2004 they were just covering local boxers like Mike anchando and stuff.

Then Edwin Valero came on the scene and they would boast him up too, the sparring of Valero was a sight to see. The guy was one of the most ferocious I ever seen, seeing him snap Urbano Antillions head near off was insane.

I dont do social media anymore on the personal level. I am in charge of the social media management/marketing department at work, so I haven't been online in the personal sense for a while, but when I was online no they would never attend a PBC or Floyd fight even not sure if its because they wouldn't get credentialed or they were scared they would get smoke from Floyd's entourage. Floyd rolls like 50 deep not just the bodyguards but he has ton of supporters sitting at his fights and in the media rooms drowning out any negative media guys or critics. Im pretty sure a few confronted them face to face and made them shat their pants and this is prob why they stopped going to any PBC or Floyd fights.

for breaking news tho unfortunately we gotta follow one of these guys the real question is who? I like Lance he never gets unprofessional and annoying but he's now with athletic and I aint paying for that crap.

Kevin Iole is good but he's doing more UFC these days

days

I listen to Chris Mannix's podcast and Fridays and check Fat Dans twitter feed for news, usually. Dan aint the best but his Twitter feed usually isnt full of opinions and non-boxing stuff.

And I think Glaser if full of ****, actually. Dan lives on the east coast and probably makes more than Kim.... I bet hiring Kim to do California and Vegas fights saves them money in travel expenses (especially if Fat Dan needs two airline seats and a California king mattress, but I'm speculating) and probably allows them to have another writer and more or less break even.

[buge]

I enjoyed Rafael's work on ESPN.

[Blackclouds]

Don't worry about Fat Dan. He'll find another job real quick. Lol @ Steve Kim, that ****roach just doesn't die.

[mcdonalds]

Fat Dan is annoying but he's a hell of a lot better than baised idiot shills like steve kim and dougie fischer.

[ShoulderRoll]

I hope Fat Dan gets a job somewhere else. We clown on him but he is better than a lot of the dreck currently working in the boxing media.
