What is Boxi-leaks? It's the truth.From the people in the sport, who don't get a voice. From the guys who get blocked out by millions of dollars of PR, media strategies, and schmooze.
Much of what you read about boxing, on tradition sites, is, to put it bluntly, false. Boxing is a game. The only thing that's real, is what happens in the ring. Everything else, is little more than a WWE skit. A story line. A soap opera.
The money in boxing, is with the promoters. And they keep a tight reign on all boxing media. Not only do guys like Bob Arum, and Oscar De la Hoya personally own numerous boxing titles, and web sites, but if you did deep enough, you'll find that they're also the major sponsor to numerous others.
Boxing writing, in regards to web coverage, isn't neutral. It's part of the promotion. Usually, bad writers, with zero talent, and no chance whatsoever of ever making it as a journalist, being fed false dreams of stardom, by promoters, in exchange for them pushing whatever media strategy the promoter wants in the media that week.
The truth is, good writers, with a real chance of making it in the media, won't do it. They won't post something they know not to be true. They won't post something in which they don't trust the sources. Sadly, for every good writer, there's bad writers - who are usually distinguishable by their bad grammar, and low IQs - who are happy to post whatever crap they get.
This blog is your escape from this world. Where, through my unique access, and contacts, I'll post what's really going on, without the PR filter.
Who am I? That can never be known. All e-mail addresses, and login information is psuedonym, to protect my sources, who are good guys, just trying to make their way in a bad sport.
All I will say, when I'm backstage at an event, I'm usually with the promoter, not the press.
