Not a real reporter but I do alright. undefeated Drunken Twitterer. Read my missives at A Fan’s Guide To Boxing.

He pays strippers to have sex with him, slaps his wife and hangs out with 20 year-olds when he’s almost 60. He might need to pay attention to mental health.

[katsu @katsuxbt]

Dana White explains why he hates men's mental health culture

"I hate this whole men's mental health stuff that they talk about. Unfortunately, when you're a man, you are the provider, you can't be that guy posting on social media, oh I had a bad day and I'm so sad"

"It's unattractive to other males, let alone women"

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

And @AlessandroGelke is a manager. The greatest comedy of people saying Nick Khan’s Senate testimony was that “it made sense”. He was saying that disclosure doesn’t matter! A true manager wants to know what everyone on the card is getting paid! Not Ali of course.

Boulware is slowly walking the UFC through the process knowing he has to shape his rulings in alignment with the 9th Circuit to kill appeals. As I said to @FightOpinion , the 9th Circuit’s instructions on emails(etc) is specific. But it doesn’t limit sanctions.

Fun Fact: @loudibella has three world series rings because of his involvement with baseball. Lou even still talks to me despite my random slandering of him. Lou was involved in the biggest fights as an executive and on his own. I mean, come on.

[Rick Glaser @RickGlaserTheOG]

Bad Guys in Boxing list will be out next week. Some of the yearly regulars won't be this year, not that they aren't a bad guy any longer, but because they're nolonger actually in Boxing. A perfect example is Lou Dibella, he's now only dealing with his minor league baseball teams.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

I personally believe that Shakur could piece up Haney with no issue. But why would he take it? And furthermore, who is going to watch it? Boxing writers used to shit on Rigo piecing up guys because he clowned Nonito. Shakur makes Rigo look like an action fighter.

[Sean Zittel @Sean_Zittel]

Hearing Shakur & Haney to Zuffa is a done deal and Zuffa wants Haney-Stevenson next, and J Prince went to the WBO to get Keyshawn instated as Haney’s mandatory to make that fight instead.

Apparently Stevenson doesn’t want the fight next, but without word from him….

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

@Sean_Zittel @Guruscience Imagine thinking the fight you think will sell is Shakur vs Haney.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

You can still look up the public comments of Berkshire Hathaway meetings where Buffett and Munger talk about the endless greed and envy and no repercussions that drives a majority of “Wall Street”. It’s not capitalism, it’s actually communism. The elites direct the working class

[Jacob King @JacobKinge]

BREAKING: Michael Saylor is down nearly $11 billion on Bitcoin, making him the largest loser in the entire market.

In 2000, Saylor lost -99% of his wealth after betting heavily on dot-com bubble stocks and was ranked the #1 biggest loser of the crash.

History is repeating itself. Exactly as I said it would years ago.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

Despite the endless comedy I get from Shakur’s tweets, why would he fight Haney? Haney is at least 170lbs if not higher. Shakur isn’t cutting 30lbs to make weight. You want to change boxing? Bring back same day weigh-ins.

[Sean Zittel @Sean_Zittel]

My latest intel on Shakur Stevenson-Devin Haney fight negotiations and Keyshawn Davis being instated as the no.1 contender for Haney’s WBO title. #Boxing

As @heynottheface and others detailed, when the antitrust was coming in they changed to be permissive, which is how Ngannou was able to walk free. Then when they thought they had a complete settlement, they brought in antitrust waivers. But nope, no executive directed that.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

And the trap TKO/UFC set for themselves is the multiple changing of the contract terms. They’re going to pretend a company that is being strip-mined for cash to feed Silver Lake was letting matchmakers determine contract terms with no inputs?

IMO, Boulware is completely aware he is setting a standard that will be cited in future cases. And he is blazing a path in law where people used to say, “There’s nothing we can do”. Might be why companies are trying to move out of the 9th. Companies blatantly using Signal? Jesus.

And this is where I believe Boulware is walking the UFC into the woodchipper. Not producing the communications is subject to the lesser sanction notice of the 9th Circuit. Completely ignoring the litigation hold is subject to a judge’s “inherent power”.

Judge Boulware admonishing UFC lawyers for not going along with litigation hold properly. UFC employees testified they didn’t even know about the litigation hold. Putting phones in a drawer and giving to their lawyer wasn’t enough. Issues with phones.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

We are at the point where lawyer-specific trade publications are sending writers to every hearing. I believed in the merits of the case from the start, but merits rarely win. No matter the outcome, this case will form a basis of tackling corporate antitrust issues in civil courts

[Alessandro Gelke @AlessandroGelke]

“If we were not in this situation where I have strong indication that your client is deleting messages” Judge Boulware to UFC attorneys.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

Bronsteter in hell. All that ass-sucking and he will be out of a job.

[Mike Bohn @MikeBohn]

UFC has announced a six-year deal to bring "all UFC numbered event main cards" to Paramount+ in Canada beginning in 2027.

No more PPVs for the Canadians, who have still been charged full price since January.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

Dana White rolling up to Adin Ross’ streams.

[DRUSKI @druski]

That Oldhead who never Grewup/Matured 😂

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

Gelke had a good spot on the @heynottheface podcast talking about these issues. And there’s a larger issue of executives using Signal to delete communication. Blackberry built their business on companies needing to retain communications for legal purposes, look at corps now…

Dana White is lame.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

“I’m not political but I had people alerting to me if anyone that voted Democrat might come into the building”. This is so hilarious that they don’t see the downfall coming towards them. I mean, they’ll still be rich. But everyone is already shitting on them.

[Home of Fight @Home_of_Fight]

👀🇺🇸 Dana White reveals that Joe Biden’s granddaughter attended a UFC event but left after hearing that Donald Trump would be there too:

“When I found that out, I said to the Secret Service, “Bring her to me.” I’d love to meet her, treat her with the respect.

Apparently she left when she heard that president Trump was coming.”

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

THe “no nukes!” position of supposed environmentalists is one of the most disastrous positions that they will still not account for. How do you go forward when people won’t address reality? They don’t care, they make millions bickering.

[Fred Garvin @FredGarvinReal]

Carl Sagan has been clipped when he went in front of Congress and said the abandonment of nuclear power would just lead to growing economies like China to using coal which would lead to immense greenhouse gas emissions. He was presenting the consensus opinion.

The almost complete hilarity of Seth McFarlane and Neil DeGrasse Tyson trying to recreate Cosmos is that they’re assholes. Sagan loved humanity. He didn’t look down on people that knew less than him. He believed people just needed inspiration, as COSMOS showed.

“WAIT, DESPITE THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF 1 PLUS 1 EQUALLYING TWO! WE WILL RELY ON VOCAL CORDS THAT YOUR SOCIETY MIGHT NOT HAVE”. You might not realize it, but Carl Sagan’s show on PBS was one of the most highly watched shows in history. Humans want knowledge.
