Brian Kenny is/was interviewing the Floyd Mayweather on ESPN's Sportscenter right now.

He was really on him on various issues. He called him he the former P4P Champ, which he didn't agree with. He asked why he waited for the Manny/Hatton weekend to return to boxing. He also asked why is he fighting a junior lightweight instead of a welterweight. It was pretty cool to see him grill him and Floyd like always is on the defensive. He ducked several questions and then got mad at Kenny. I got to give props to Kenny for not backing down.

I am sure there will be video later on about it.

Here is an interesting bit of news. I know some of you are aware that GBP has fights on HBO Latin America, Daniel Ponce De Leon as the most recent example but now they are comitting themselves to a new boxing series on Versus.

Golden Boy Promotions is launching a new monthly boxing series that will be televised on the VERSUS cable network and streamed live on the internet, beginning on June 11, the Los Angeles-based promotional company announced with series partner AEG on Friday.

The series, called "Fight Night Club", will take place at Club Nokia at LA LIVE across the street from STAPLES Center in downtown Los Angeles and will feature up-and-coming prospects in an upscale and intimate club setting.

The monthly club show will not only be televised nationally on VERSUS (9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT) but it will be streamed live (and archived) on RingTV.com and Yahoo! Boxing, and thus be available to fight fans worldwide in an on-demand basis.

"'Fight Night Club' will focus on the future stars of this game and will show everyone just how champions are made," said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. "Some of the best fights I've ever seen have taken place at small club shows and now we have the opportunity to bring those fights to the world."

Guess what?

BoxingScene.com has been informed that Danny Perez (34-5, 17KOs) has withdrawn from his upcoming fight with junior middleweight prospect Alfredo Angulo (14-0, 11KOs) scheduled for the February 14 HBO televised tripleheader from the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.

Perez is the second opponent to pull out in less than two weeks. Last week, former two division champion Ricardo Mayorga pulled out after a reported injury claim, which turned out to be a move for more money.

...

"I heard two stories. One person said he has problems making the weight and another person said it has to do with money," Shaw told BoxingScene.com. "I am hunting for a replacement."

It seems very questionable if Angulo could get a respectable opponent that HBO will sign off on in less than a weeks noticed.

Here is some interest tidbit from Dan Rafael insider chat.

He will most likely face a tomato can but given the sad state of the heavyweight division which used to be the glory division( which is now the welterweight division) of boxing perhaps Andrei can make a mark on boxing. He is considered one of the best strikers in the MMA world and according to top trainer Freddy Roach has the technical skills to excel in the sport. It will also be interesting if HBO mentions it given that Golden Boy's involvement with Affliction.
