Is it about the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight that should have happened, instead of the one we got? Very Happy

"before the magazine switched from weekly to monthly publication."

You mean from bimonthly to monthly, I do believe.

Anyway, will read this thing.

Monthly Afternoon is a magazine published by the company Kodansha. Do you know which other magazine Kodansha publishes? Weekly Shōnen Magazine. Do you know what is published in Weekly Shōnen Magazine? Hajime no Ippo. I rest my case. Wink

Naoya Inoue could have a big effect on the popularity of boxing in Japan.

For those that wonder what a manga about a black boxer would be like, the short (20 ch.) early 90s manga called Blaster Knuckle stars an ex-slave boxer fighting cannibalistic werewolf-vampire KKK members.

Hollywood movie adaptation coming soon with Quentin Tarantino helming the project? (I know I would watch it)

Hameyadea, not that I am aware of. But with 20 ch. and being set in America, this could be more ideal of an adaptation then some.

I think someone should pitch this to a Hollywood studio. I can already envision its vibe as a mix of Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction, based on your description of the series.
