  • Come on Gary. How come you never help out the fans? Always bragging!! Times are tight, help a brother out

  • So you’re telling me that the G. W. O. A. T., Clarissa Shields will be on ESPN+, not PPV? What an honor and a privelige for us boxing fans. Certainly will be the fight of the night, if not the fight of the year being that the G. W. O. A. T. is involved…
