It's quirky fame week at TQBR. First up was the cameo on Showtime's Fight Camp 360 Saturday. Then, earlier this week, friend-of-the-site the legend dropped a new album with his band, Escape The Fate, which is a wildly popular rock outfit -- and thanked this site in their liner notes. If one million of the 23 million people who have watched this clip of one of their songs visits the site, I will be a rich man, or, at least, Internet-rich. If you aren't afraid of being rocked, support the legend and buy the album even though he trash-talks you during TQBR Prediction Game. And a big "thank you" back to the legend. (A mild disagreement, though: He also thanks "Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather." I do not thank that fight. I curse it for not happening. CURSE IT.)
Less quirky fame also was to be had. ABS-CBN News in the Philippines this week wrote a piece on my interview with Pacquiao biographer Gary Andrew Poole. TQBR contributor Carlos Acevedo, who makes his home at The Cruelest Sport, penned two pieces for the latest issue of Boxing World, about Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito and Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather, and he quoted me in both. Carlos provides directions here on how to obtain the magazine. We won runner-up for a Bloguin Award. And lastly, TQBR contributor Alex McClintock had pieces at both RingTV and The Sweet Science.
This kind of thing always walks a fine line between bragging and brimming with pride and wanting to share it with my pals, i.e. the people who visit the site. Forgive me if it too much resembles the former. The good news is that from here on out for the rest of Quick Jabs, it'll all be about the boxing. Besides the headline, we've got a bit of info on this weekend's schedule, the Manny Pacquiao distraction conflictinator, a confusing case of one boxer impersonating another and more still.
