Fat Boy Dan contract won't be renewed by ESPN

[TheGR8TESTOAT]

Irrational take of the day

I hate fat sports reporters like Fat Dan & Windhorst

Hard to believe that they love sport when they would have a heart attack walking to the gym

I never understood why fat writers even go there with a fighter when they dont look all that great on the weighins like really you obese mofo gonna say anything about Ruiz or Arreola or that white dude he just fought tonight?

I see a bunch of these fat writers clowning the fight tonight tonight too. One of them said it was the Obese Gatti Ward or something.

But the writing has been on the wall for a while. The day they hired Kim you just knew Rafael was either on the way out or was going to be minimized.

Wonder who hires him. The Athletic already has three boxing writers, but FOX did lose Coppinger so that is a possible landing spot for Fat Dan. But more likely is DAZN.

Kim low key works for top rank so I’m sure the bob father has something to do with this.

Bob certainly would prefer Kim over Rafael no doubt.

Yeah bro I think if I recall correctly Koncz too was throwing down for Pac when he was iced out right? WTF happened to Koncz did Pac finally give him the boot?

All I'm saying is those entourage Turtles aint providing no legit support or role in Pac's team. HE should thin them out and pretty much just have one manager, one assistant and cut the rest of the dead weight loose. I think someone said he gives all of them like 30K a year too or some BS like that.

Yeah I don't know I think the big brand influencers definitely make bank but not sure about these boxing bloggers? I mean wasn't Dontae begging for donations like a few years back or some BS?

I know this one dude he goes hard and posts a video like 3 times a week but he aint making shat. lol Guy bought a whole damn studio for his YT page but he has no real talent or skills. He just gives his opinions which aren't even good. Maybe if u always posting good exclusive interviews with big names and the latest training videos I could possibly see it. He said he used to post all the time back in the height of the Floyd vs Pac hype and get like 100K views on each video but now he says he can't even break a 1K views lol. I told him to have a co-host on his shows and use a hot chick with huge rack. But he a total loner with no game to even ask any chick hot enough to do his shows.

I know those hot chicks who got big t*ts and booty be getting all kinds of views and subs for just sitting in front of their camera complaining how bad their day went lol.

Yeah I just dont think Steve will work out to replace Dan unless he starts covering and showing Floyd and PBC love, which he clearly is anti, and which is completely unprofessional.

As for Gabe if you got a ton of followers why dont u post a pic of him and ask your female followers to vote if they feel he's attractive or not. Then post the results for him to see that way he'll get a dose of reality for once. If you do this plan make sure to include it here too so we can all laugh lol. Also I dont think Gabe has a rich father as you are wondering because I remember after the fights once he was asking this one dude for a ride home because he doesnt own a car. My friend was like WTF you dont own a car? He was like no I take the metro link everywhere. I was like WTF who dont got a car in LA? This aint NYC u need a damn car to get around and function in this town! So based on that I'd say his dad aint rich and that your second guess of welfare might be correct.

Someone else said, (and not sure if this is true or not)but he always wears the same clothes too? Like the all black shirt and pants look. Like he only got one fit to rock at all the fights and appearances.

Yo bro whats your take on why so many boxing fans and writers hate Al and PBC? I never understood that? Like the hatred runs deep and cuts deep? But why? it's not like they benefit or got screwed out of money they acting like they did or something?

Lol bro you had me laughing on Gabe. Im busy now but ill reply to the rest when i get home. But as far as Gabe, if I posted a poll and girls dont think he is hot he will just find a reason and ay its all russian bots or some haters.

Steve kim was a huge hbo boxing homer, he always had larry merchant on maxboxing. In fact it was his interview with merchant that got the idea for pacquiao de la hoya, merchant suggested manny fight oscar in a one off and felt pacquiao was great enough to beat oscar at this stage.

Did Skipper hire Rafael to ESPN in the first place? Tapped up one of his old guys?

Rafael was hired FAR before Skipper became president of ESPN.

Now, he probably was involved in Rafael extending with ESPN from all the time he's been there.

I'm looking at Skipper's wiki page. At the time Rafael joins ESPN Skipper is vice president of ESPN Magazine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Skipper

According to Rick Glaser

It has now been confirmed to yours truly that the Original ESPN Fatman Dan Rafael will definitely not get his contract renewed by ESPN on his current contract concludes. The handwriting was on the wall when ESPN hired well known writer Steve Kim, and ESPN.com dropped Rafael's Friday Chat that was weekly, claiming the software was out of date, which was just an excuse. So once he is nolonger at ESPN, Rafael will now just be simply "the Fatman"

You put a big smile on my old ugly mug... green when I can...thank you...god bless

Correct, he wasn't president of ESPN until like 2011 or around there.

ESPN Magazine really has nothing to do with Rafael.
