60/40 split still to much for farmer and interview when he talking about Ellerbe being a hater I take it you are mentioning right?

So thats why we have negotiations...

Unless Ellerbe got his poor little feelings hurt.

Mexican American, Mexican and Puerto Rican boxing fans will often cheer for their own, but above all, they are first and foremost boxing fans. They appreciate the sport and on the whole, are much more knowledgeable about boxing than the typical American sports fan. They are also more apt to recognize the talent and skill of American and other non-Hispanic boxers than Americans are to even know who the best "foreign" boxers are.

I didn’t specify Puerto Rican’s....who while they will be excited about other boricuas, in my experience those of them who like boxing like boxing....period. Not selective fans at all

I think Gary Russell is one of the 6, along with Chavez Jr. They need Mickey to justify the other names.

Any guesses on the rest?

By the way, what racial:ethnic groups comprise the “typical American sports fans?”

I’d look for individuals at middleweight, super middleweight, and possibly Nery....along with the names you mentioned

Why does anyone even care about seeing Mikey fight after that ****show money grab he pulled?

Good question. I guess it depends on what part of the country we focus on, but I was responding more to the reference to American Black and “White” boxing fans. But a complete answer would require a dissertation and that too would be questioned and with good reason.

Not really sure what hes saying here, hes sneeky with the words. Id imagine he does have 6 on the way, not so sure if there big names. Chavez Jr could be one, dont think Russell will happen. Think Lorenzo Simpson is inevitable, Kamil Szeremeta will apparently be on the Usyk card, I assume hes been signed. Maybe Kovalev now? Was talked about during the Canelo negotiations. Also Josh Taylor

That's nonsense, DAZN are shareholders in Matchroom USA.

Exactly. They can opt out and Matchroom USA is over.

Hearn is really under the gun by them. Dazn's numbers are absolutely terrible.
