    Its because its a money laundering exercise for Dan Kinahan. not rocket science...

    Probellum are under the microscope due to being a front. Marvnation comes from nowhere to win a probellum fighters pursebid and using brand new bank accounts with large sums flooding through. hence the bank stopping the transfer.

    Same thing with BLK Prime. Bud picking up 10 mil in a fight that loses millions through a new entity after meeting Kinahan in Dubai last year. Prograis manager Sam Katkovski who all of a sudden has a link with MTKs Lee Eaton is the Head of Boxing for BLK Prime. All just a big front.

    Its a Dan Kinahan money laundering exercise. Probellum under the federal microscope so using smaller promoters to flood the cash

    I don't know, seems like everything worked out for him in the end.

    He got his belt back by facing a small guy who's close to shot, without logging a notable win since his loss to TTT, just as 3-4 major money fighters moved into the division (Tank, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo, and Haney is coming soon I'm sure).

    And he got $1.2 million to do it!

    It will be very interesting to see what he does next.

    It could be. If it is , they are doing a horrible job at it. Losing money instead of washing it and pocketing it. These boxing event just have to many mouths to feed to fudge the numbers.

    Yep well known in the UK that Probellum is Kinahans promotional company. Hence why all of the mtk fighters signed to them.

    they brought in the likes of Schaefer to give a credible feel. But they are staging world title fights in arenas on 25% full and showing them free on YouTube. Boxxer made their fighters sign disclaimers that they are not linked to Probellum.

    they are lying low since the sanctions but hoping to open back up next year

    Woah, had no idea about this, i always thought Schaefer & David Haye were in it together in their joint promotion, makes you wonder how he keeps on landing on his feet & is still around even to this day while rarely has any marquee fighter signed underneath him, knowing his history it would make sense,

    Wouldn't it be not too long until someone figures this out or others around the circles in the industry let the higher ups know what is known to be happening?

    I saw Crawford recent interview where he stated he has already got his check escrowed before the event, makes you think how he is supposedly getting 10 mil for his fight alone, could this also be linked to them?

    Hes been paid in full now. Marvnations better stop overpaying these fighters and hope to profit off of PPV. Everybody knew this fight was going to tank, except them. Lesson learned.

    Yes rumours blk prime is the same.

    Probellum signed some of the UK biggest Olympic prospects with no tv deal. Beating Sky BT and DAZN.
    These guys like Pat Mcormack who was deemed to be the biggest amateur UK prospect has managed to get out of his deal and sign with Matchroom. Because Probellum can’t get the shows on to honour his deal due to the money man being investigated.

    there’s lots of shady stuff with Kinahan and Probellum. The supposed funder of all of Probellum is Ali Shams Pour is the Kinahan decoy who owns 50% of Hennessy boxing in the UK they took 50% when Mick Hennessy won the purse bid for Hughie fury vs Joseph Parker. When mick couldn’t get the money together for the bid Kinahan fronted the money and took half his company. Over the last 12 months Hennessy lost his tv deal due to them become privy to their involvement with Kinahan.
