As boxing seems to be getting worse with it's conduct... I will add some flavor that is off-topic but fun and even more frightening is REAL!
In a previous post, I told people from Buffalo, Albany, NYC, Miami, Toronto, Vegas, LA, Austin... not including outside North America.
These people are characters we all have known and wonder why they aren't in Hollywood doing REAL reality TV. For me it started in 2002, and I was writing a story script on a dozen guys.
An Example is "The Bird (bird brain)" or "Moe (3 stooges)" (same guy). Even stranger, I read a lot and saw a joke regarding philosophers that was identical to a real story for Moe. About 30 years back, people took the shuttle (flight from Albany NY to Atlantic City on a small four engine plane). This story goes as such during the flight. Moe was traveling with a friend (named Blevy -big time bookie in the day; I think he just passed, but prior he cleaning private (poker, gin, booking) clubs. During the flight a problem with one engine cause the pilot to notify the passengers that they shut the engine down, and would decrease speed and altitude. Now, the air time was one average less than an hour (like 40 mins), so about 5 minutes later, a second engine blew out. The pilot repeated what he said, then gave a speech to calm passengers. They were almost at Atlantic City when, yes... you guessed it, the 3rd engine went. Now people were on edge in panic... the Pilot started telling the story of the Wright Bros flying on a propeller, etc.. and noted that they would be hovering (flying at the lowest possible altitude and decrease speed to a near halt) as they were almost there, and at that speed they would be safe with that engine.
Now, after the pilot stopped... Moe started his engine (brain), and said very loudly to Blevy (small plane and quiet people were holding their breath) "WTF is going on... after every engine goes we go slower and slower. I pray to God that last engine don't go or that damn pilot will have us going so slow we'll never make to Atlantic City"! Blevy was stunned and put his head down. People thought why is this man joking as they were fearful of dying that trip. Little did they know... "The Bird" was totally serious regarding his statement not even considering the plane would go down without an engine.
To add strange to that, I read a joke about a philosopher thinking the same thing in an almost same situation. It was a mock at philosophers (and was relating to therapists as well).
No fear, Moe is still around and I will travel to Albany within months and video him. Even though he is early 80s, the man is built like a brick after many years of hardcore construction. He did the wrecking ball for a day, but failed to realized that (he had the wrong house) the electrical wires were still attached and maybe that would help him know he was at the wrong house. Moe blasted the side of the house... a dog went flying out of the open space, a lady screamed from the bathroom. She was flipping as you could imagine... Moe had a simple response "Lady, get out because it's coming down whether you're in our out!" LOL - That was his last day (and his first).
Here Frank (known as WOP). These clips were done and he knew he was filmed around late 2010. I did audio and video in 2005 and back then he had no idea my phone had vid-cam, so he was being himself. I will post a clip from people who did a bad job of videoing him.

I have to find my old hard drive and post these on youtube. It had legendary people. I hope you enjoyed the stories and the brief clip (not mine).
I got some people that are publicly know, so I'd need permission (and most likely denied by their publicist), but it had characters with celebs and athletes in Vegas and LA. Also, a crazy poker scene with A-Rod in NYC underground games. I don't want to be sued, as it seems people are sued for just falling and finding someone to sue.
