Fat Dan out at ESPN

Post by dwightmac83 »

Dan Rafael out at ESPN, as he's not getting his contract renewed. No one should feel bad for him, he made his own problems with his repeated unwarranted arrogance. Bye Bye, #OrginalESPNfatman. #ESPN and #Boxing will be much better served.

That makes a lot more sense... just pulling for the Boston guy, though ESPN isn’t what it used to be

Always heard he was a dick.... also blocked me on Twitter when I called him out because for years he trashed Keith Thurman than was all on his nuts.

I saw just the other day he had an article on BoxingScene.com so maybe he's with them for the time being.

I always felt he was kind of a pompous asshole tbh. His chats consisted of him shitting on anyone who didnt kiss his ass... not surprising
"He's a fighter, I'm a fighter, if I'm better on that day, I win. That's just the way it goes. Someday, every fighter loses. Sooner or later, somebody comes along and they got your ticket. Too old, just wasn't your day, whatever the reason is. In the end, everybody gets beaten. The most you can hope for is that you stay on top a while. Be the best."
