  • You’re the OOF-SEE. You weren’t willing to pay Brock Lesnar in your post-pay-per-view world. So how do you respond to an unnamed Conor Whisperer telling TMZ “He’s ready to fight now.

“We’ll be back next week with another installment of If I Did It and we don’t know what we’ll be talking about yet, because the PR mistakes have yet to be made.”
