Looks like mobsters have standards too.

It was not that bad what he said I think MTK let him go because he has yet to score a knockout

He got axed for speaking his own truth and speaking his mind. Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to do that anymore and it’s terrible.

Another example why boxing message boards are the closest I get to social media.

Damn we or boxers can't say anything anymore. What happened to freedom of speech? Its gone down the toilet! Damn snowflakes.

What happened to freedom of speech?

Nothing happened to freedom of speech. It never came with a clause that said freedom of speech does not have repercussions and long-standing sometimes quite bad consequences.

Freedom of speech only applies to the government. You are entitled to do anything that's legal to someone who says something you don't like.

Yep. Exactly.

You can legally say anything, it’s just that there are consequences for everything you say.

Be your own promoter and say what you want.
