Phil Baroni pulls out of his bare knuckle fight

SmurfetteWasASkank - 

What I got out of that was quite clearly:

"I was meant to box in England - but wasn’t taking it seriously, just an easy pay check - albeit small.

Something else came up that boxing may have potentially conflicted with - so I said, fuck the boxing, and used some lame excuse about wanting a flight from sacromento instead of LAX".

Jebus - yeah - I think he was taking bong hits.

Not a well thought out excuse, and certainly not a well delivered one.

BKB is trying to get off the ground, so they’re recruiting primarily big names, or as big a names as they can get, that aren’t tied into professional contracts with other orgs, to garner interest and help build a fan base.

Baroni would have been huge for them.

This is cut and dry - a fighter fucks over a small time start up org, cause he can, and cause he blatently lacks professionalism, and disregards fan interest, promotional time and money, and sporting integrity.

BKB have already stated publically they’ll pay any additional travel costs from sacromento to LAX also - which of course they will.

Not a good look.

Time to rotate your tampon drama queen

I hear the promoter upped the round times to 45 seconds…fuck that noise

Up for more Phil shaming.

The show went down last night anyways, without their main event of Phil Vs Reljic.

I’m reading on the BKB newsfeed that Julian Lane fought like an animal and a boss - but lost a UD to the gypsy.

In contrast to that stunt that Phil pulled - gotta give credit guys like Lane and Guillard, coming all the way from the US, in awesome shape, highly motivated to fight and win - despite the promotion and exposure being relatively small.

Chin up Julian - you’ll get him next time - heard it was razor close.

That gypsy has beaten two UFC guys now in Lane and Guillard.

I think I’d like to see him fight Riggs or Chris Lytle next.
