@JeylloBe @BU_RecordCount 😂 moron

@BU_RecordCount This is a nightmare match-up for UM.

How does Michigan matchup with St Louis? What do I need to know

The biggest game of the first round is on Friday, when Long Island battles Arizona for iced tea supremacy

@heynottheface Was it? Will do. I’ll ask around.

@RapaczBoxing The MVP to ESPN rumor was all over the place, so I would nail down where that guy at the gym got the news about the bill.

Nobody asked me why I said this. They had their own agendas. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@heynottheface Same way I knew about MVP to ESPN. Talk to the guys in the gym.

@RapaczBoxing Ok, so how did you know? I was told that the markup bill would be the one going to the floor by congressional staff.

@heynottheface I’d never say no if it helped my state and those fighters, but I know my place.

@RapaczBoxing I was hoping for you. They’re supposedly out there recruiting some club boxing promotions.

@heynottheface But seriously, I’m far too busy to go beyond my 3ish shows a year. I love the sport, love the club fighters, love my state but I experienced enough in the business to know two things: I know better and I know nothing.

@heynottheface John, please tell them that. I’ve asked like 16 times over the last 5 years. Always turned down. But this gives me momentum!

@Boxingtalkg It’d be the absolute best

@RapaczBoxing I’m watching too, Siena will ruin the worlds brackets if they win this game

Panty N A Bunch🚨 Imagine being such an emotional lil POS bitch promoter that you’re delaying paying your fighter in a timely manner consistent w/ industry standards. Fighters should take note that some promoters hate it when the fighters protect themselves 👏,👏 👏 ,👏

@Boxingtalkg Ohhhh, yes. Sorry, March Madness brain going on.

@RapaczBoxing Without naming names, I already did. The devil is in the details, it’ll be out there publicly very soon and I’d prefer the fighter gets paid for his recent win first. Pantys and clapping should be a dead giveaway brother

@BoxingInsider @RWeezy02 Not sure what you’re referring to there.

@RapaczBoxing @RWeezy02 I made my case for reasonable drug testing where and when. New language dropped again let’s not chase a straw man argument.

Everyone should check out the language in the Ali Act bill again. 😇

@RWeezy02 @BoxingInsider The drug testing should be. The medical requirement costs will go up for a lot of promoters and fighters, but there's really no basis for complaint on that.

@RapaczBoxing @BoxingInsider So it’s less stringent on grassroots promoters?

@BoxingInsider I think most commission's have a prohibited list. Nothing specifies the testing has to be for PED's. If a commission banned marijuana in the 1990s they can test for that. Also, easy for a commission to adopt a list instead of going through WADA testing. Also, the 50% is gone.

Commission list first, ABC second, WADA as the default. Most states don’t have a comprehensive prohibited list — which means WADA becomes the floor in practice. We covered the full cascade in Part 2. Appreciate the back and forth — this is the kind of debate the bill *should* be getting on the House floor, not on Twitter.

@BoxingInsider I don't read it as WADA list for non-UBO events. It's the commission's prohibited list, then the ABC's and if they don't have one, it defaults to WADA.

Good eye. We updated the piece — Section 4(b) says “at random” for non-title bouts, the 50% is in Section 24(e) for UBO cards. Two different provisions, both WADA-list. The cost problem is the same either way — $20K-$30K every time the commission pulls the trigger, and the bill doesn’t define what “at random” means. Full breakdown: boxinginsider.com/headlines/drug…

@BoxingInsider Ok. But the drug testing page they're actually voting on sure looks different. DM'd it to you.

@RapaczBoxing We did. That’s why we wrote it. The full bill text breakdown, every ABC reference, every exemption UBOs get from the original Ali Act — all sourced, all linked. More coming today.

@HailCeaser_ @Boxing_Tribune What does?

@RapaczBoxing @Boxing_Tribune Which then becomes a disincentive for people to participate in the sport.

The sooner DAZN realizes they basically are the market the sooner they can correct it. Big fights aren't going to just happen because everyone is on the same app. DAZN is going to have every metric available to them to see who, if anyone, actually moves the needle.

@FredGarvinReal Must have forgot to say that to Floyd. 🤔

But the point was as Errol Spence Jr said, first thing Al said to him was “what are you going to do when you’re retired?” So many goofs in boxing only see fighters as food to serve up. Al fucked the game up by giving his fighters a seat at the table.
