It was extremely petty but 50 Cent claiming Mayweather was illiterate, and he would donate 1 million dollars to charity if Floyd could read one page from a Harry Potter book always made me laugh.

He has spent the last decade saying Mayweather was going to end up broke as well.

To be fair, 50 Cent is one of the most hilariously petty people around. Like when he bought most of the tickets to a Drake concert so that it would have a low turnout.

Regarding the Porky's Corner YouTube channel:

Porky Russ is a knob, but I have to admit, the John Fury related content on his channel is hilarious, especially the videos covering the feud Fury had with Micky Theo. This video covering Shane Fury and Big John threatening to show up to Theo's car wash is especially funny if you fancy wasting an hour or so (spoiler: John unsurprisingly didn't show up).

PBC has now officially joined DAZN, the platform pretty much has any meaningful piece of boxing action now outside of Zuffa and MVP.

I expect the price point when they raise it to be brutal.

Ade Oladipo and Chris Eubank’s daughter on some podcast talking absolute cobblers. This makes my brain itch…

“Because he can sell grills, suddenly he can fight?” How can you consider yourself a Boxing journalist/pundit or whatever and have a take this completely dogshit about GEORGE FOREMAN? Saying something this dumb about a legitimate all time great should be met with instant dismissal. Clowns.

I didn’t know who that guy was but he must have the patience of a saint to sit there and remain calm and professional in the face of that bullshit. Saw another clip just now and they’re spewing similar shite about Oscar De La Hoya. Always had the impression that Ade’s Boxing knowledge starts with AJ and he seems to think the sport only became relevant in 2015. This confirms it. And I don’t have a clue why Eubank’s daughter/Frank Smith’s Mrs is even on there giving her brain dead takes.

I have just read on the BBC website

AJ v Fury is in doubt because Dua Lipa has declined the opportunity to perform. 

That's the world we live in now. 

 

Its now even more likely to be cancelled as AJ and his team are complaining about the tax implications of holding it in MSG rather than London.

Does seem like a lot of excuses coming for why the fight wont happen.. I can see both coming out for a big payday in about 10yrs time when both are well well past it and noone cares anymore. Not that many do now obviously

Sorry not to look past Katie Taylor, as she's been an incredible ambassador for Irish sport generally, regardless of whether she was a female athlete.

But, AJ/Fury... it makes my head hurt and my stomach turn to say this; but, I think I agree with Eddie completely. Urgh. Unless there's a big bombshell neither side is disclosing which makes Eddie/AJ look like mugs, I think i've agreed with everything he's said, and the other side's stories don't really stack up. Hope it doesn't happen.

To state the obvious, it's all tedious as fuck. 

I'm not going to pretend I will not watch if they do fight, but I will not lose any sleep if it never happens at this stage. Neither do I really care who is ducking who. It's just all very played out.  

Even Mayweather and Pacquaio's camps were able to come to a deal quicker than this lot.
