    Fighter, trainer and corner men. Fighter chooses own music. Its gotten cartoonish with the 101 deep entourage and gaggle of shitty rappers. I understand flair and pop, it is an extension of the fighter and packaging after all but when you have Justin f'n Beiber carrying a title trinket to a ring..you have jumped the shark and sold yourself cheap.

    Trying to portray yourself as an expert in the manly art of self defense and then hanging out with justin Beiber makes no sense at all.

    I always liked ring walks, there's something that will always be interesting to me about watching the gladiator entering the arena, seeing how he looks and what is body language is. There's a real art to it and fighters have used it to great effect, whether it was flashy entrances like Nas or Wlad, or entrances like Tyson's where it's simplicity just added to his aura of intimidation.

    I get celebrity. Its the same thing when the network cameras roam the seats and tell us what a huge fight fan Denzel Washington is ffs..as he sits next to promoters. But we are in a time when the wrapping is more shiny than the actual gift. Over produced and then you get imitating gimmicks like Broner where it all blows up in his face. All smoke, no fire.
