Very simply, I was hesitant to say his name because I don’t think he’s worth addressing. And yes, it’s true I’m not a fan of people who make everything about themselves. 🤷♂️ Nothing personal though.
"I see them sitting there talking about me. They can't even say my name. Turki is sitting there with Coppinger and Reno. Not since 1998 when Pat Patterson and Gerald Briscoe were on tv as Vince McMahons stooges have we seen stooges like these guys. Say it brother, SAY MY NAME.…
Shoutout @RoldBoxing for helping make sure my research on tonight’s fight in Vegas was crisp. Only guy I trust on the historical accuracy of my hairbrained research notes.
Charles Bradley breaks down in tears doing "Changes" by Black Sabbath. Did Ozzy Osbourne proud.
I didn’t think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know things that we don’t. I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every…
Great stat

Hunter Biden is right about the Pod Save guys though
"Pod Save America" Responds To Hunter Biden: "You Were A Liability, You Should Be Ashamed" realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/07/… "You were on the board of Burisma because of who your dad is, and that is what people hate about Washington." "It is three hours of Hunter playing the victim."
“Mama I’m Coming Home” is one of the best ballads ever written by a rock band. RIP Ozzie.
He's a better pro fighter than Loma. His footwork is just as special, but it's also more purposeful. He's better at working both sides than Loma, who really only liked to attack from an opponent's left side. He has more power. To be fair, Bam learned a lot from Loma.
What Bam did with a good defensive fighter & counter puncher was more impressive than most people know. He is special. Reminds me of young Loma #BamBam #rodriguezvscafu
Amen!
HUNTER BIDEN: " How arrogant do you have to be to be 'Pod Save America'? Like we've designated them as the guys who are gonna save America, you know, like four guys living in West Hollywood making a million dollars apiece or more"
What is the best music festival set you've seen from a band you were mostly unfamiliar with? For me it might be Mercury Rev at Desert Daze 2018 doing their Deserter's Songs album. Perfect setting for that experience too.
ESPN put out a list of top 100 athletes of the 21st Century last summer. @ESPN had Manny Pacquaio at number 71. There aren’t 71 athletes who were better than Manny Pacquiao over the last 25 years. He’s clearly top 10-15 minimum. #PacquiaoBarrios
I’m forever going to be a Tim Tszyu fan. Dude gives us everything we ask for as a fan. The Towering Inferno is just that dude. The fight I’ve forever wanted to see is him and @TwinCharlo.
Was a pleasure working with @osunaespn this past week. Only 2nd time I got to work with him, #FuryWilder3 being the other time. Also the dude doesn’t age. Looks the same as when he was on Solo Boxeo.
PBC AND Top Rank had him on shows early in his career and didn’t sign him. Inexplicable.
Matchroom gave him his shot and the rest is history @MatchroomBoxing @210bam @EddieHearn
The #PacquiaoBarrios scorecards. Manny needed to win just one of the last three rounds on two scorecards to win the title at 46.
“He’s won already” at the weigh in … we’ve reached new levels of “gave it a go” energy from the Brits 😂
Daniel Dubois has won already, made Usyk change his normal fighting weight. Crying about who’s going to be the ref. I’ve never seen Dubois this focused before!! Dubois will retire Usyk tomorrow night!! Let’s go! #UsykDubois #UsykDubois2 🇬🇧
Devin Haney has every right to press Brian Norman Jr to get enrolled in VADA.
What’s an example of nepotism that you’re actually a fan of?

“I still don’t think I get the breaks that I deserve”… the lack of self-awareness from this guy is STAGGERING!
Ariel Helwani is asked about the MMA media landscape: 'There's a lot of talk about the MMA media landscape and how there is not a lot of money to be made or really the ability to make much of a career out of it. Is this a sentiment you share? How do you assess the landscape…
Let’s stop giving accused pedo and completely washed up fighters Jojo paydays?
Regis Prograis vs. Jojo Diaz is being rumored for the Duarte-Sims undercard on August 2nd in Chicago. 👀 Thoughts? 🤔 Credit: BoxingScene
