    The descriptions "he's making his pro debut, he was in prison a month ago"

    "He flew in from ..... today, arrived an hour ago"

    "He found out he would be included an hour ago"

    Boxing makes planning appear so hard haha

    Which, this seems the perfect place to say......I think it's time to revamp the boxing press conferences. They are awful, boring, and nothing should stay the same 100 years. It looks so low class with folding tables. I don't know how they should change it, but they should change it. I hate to say it but I rather enjoy the UFC model

    Yeh they were pulling guys from the audience. I think Willie Jackson was the mma-pka guy who slipped and tried a spinning back fist on Tubbs. Is that where they sit them all coliseum style in rows? They definitely upped ufc style promo with Mayweathers heist but frankly boxing fans we're not exactly the target audience. Seems we've lost the usefulness of potential matches running on same cards ala the super fly trio we just had. Another thing lost with current ppvs that King did well.

    or more safetyglass partitions Vargas v Mayorga style

    Yeah, they have all the fighters up there. And no speeches, especially no speeches from old men nobody knows. Who cares about Bill Tackard from Hard Rock Casino anyway?(fake name). The press asks questions of whoever, everyone has microphones. People talk when they want to talk, are quiet if they want to be quiet. Far less formality that is so dreadfully boring.

    It feels authentic, boxing it just seems sleazy. Like cheap people are trying to sell us something we should know better than buying.
