Franco didn't belong near the ring with those quick turn arounds and it sounds a lot like Roc Nation put wealth before health. To go to the point of asking Francos family to initially remove a Gofund Me page about his injury is very shady. And allegedly not 'having a physical' prior to the Haro KO loss is insane if true.
wow.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
