No Holds Barred: Mayweather-Pacquiao, Green-Briggs, and Golden Boy Controversies in Boxing
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman addresses several of the explosive controversies currently raging in the beleaguered sport of boxing.
We discuss whether or not there were real negotiations in the past weeks for a fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, and why no such fight has yet to be signed. We examine the 29-second, one-punch knockout by Danny Green against Paul Briggs in Australia Wednesday night, and whether this indicated that the fight was fixed or that Briggs was not fit to be fighting. We analyze the recent suspension of Golden Boy Promotions by the New York State Athletic Commission, which was lifted this week, and the most important issues which the circumstances behind that suspension raise. And we discuss the coverage of these issues, both positive and negative, by the boxing and sports media.
