Hi guys,

I was aware of the story of this guy when it came to light last year, but only this morning did I check out the ESPN Films documentary on him.

I'm interested to find out your take on this blog I wrote on it. Am I being too harsh? Basically, I think it was great that he got the chance to make his pro debut, but sometimes I think stories like these are created, stage-managed, whatever you want to say. Watching the doco, I couldn't help but think there was no way they'd let a guy that slow get licensed if somebody (ie Golden Boy and the filmmakers) wasn't going to be making some money off of it.

Anyway, maybe I just think too much, but here are my thoughts on it anyway:-
