Dan Rafael New HBO Match Maker / Is HBO Promoting without a license?

[Mars_ax]

HBO is a network that deals with promoters, predominantly Goldenboy as of late.

Surprised fat fuck got hired to do a real job inside of boxing.

Funny, that's the same thing I was thinking, why would HBO hire someone like Dan Rafael, who isn't really qualified, to be a match maker.. it doesn't make sense.

Why is he not qualified? He knows the sport better then any other human being.

Also the promoters aren't promoters anymore. With a few exceptions, all they do is wait for premium cable money (HBO and Showtime) so that they do not have to take any financial risk of their own. It is the reason that there are less and less fighters with local followings.

THe Money that HBO and SHowtime pay, is so so so much greater then what they could earn, putting on untelivised cards like in the old days, that no promoter wants to take any risks.

No offense Lance, but if you believe Dan Rafael knows more about boxing then any other human being, you are either:

#1. Dan Rafael

#2. Someone who's easily impressed, and doesn't have their facts straight.

#3. Someone who's new to the sport of boxing and knows little about it.

#4. Dan's mother.

I don't know about this yeh. Maybe in a unofficial capacity, more an adviser but wouldn't he have to quit the writing gig? The appearances on FNF and elsewhere doing commentary less it be seen as a simple commercial with an agenda? Dan knows his stuff but serves the sport far better as a semi independent voice rather then going over to the diva network. How many bridges has he burned when it comes to different fighters also, not known to bite his tongue really.

Thats the only thing he isn't known to bite !

POW !!!

(what I'm saying here is that Dan Rafael is fat, really really fucking morbidly obese, fucking riding around on one of those little scooters FAT).

How much is fat Dan getting paid for this role? And what gives him the edge over let's say some hardcore boxing fan on matchmaking? It's not like his knowledge is better than many fans who follow the sport.
