Zuffa Boxing will have its own belt and will NOT recognize the other bodies

Paramount + wont die in the next few years, thats for sure. An enormous amount of cash is being poured into that thing.
Revenue is up, subscription numbers are up, and they are pretty close to being profitable.

 

This is GOOD news. Dont even recognize other belts. The sport will follow the money and nobody can compete with His Excellency, Turki.

Long live Turki and Long live Zuffa

 

The Ali act will be the same EXCEPT the giant exemption created for his company.

Dishonest ***** head looking ****.

 

So hes basically saying the ali act will still exist for everyone else, theyre just not going to comply with it...

 

It's all about the money. Boxers today think it, even if they don't say it. This comes down the WBC, IBF, WBO, WBA having money to challenge Zuffa. They don't. The promotors may have some but do they have enough to bankroll the fighters and these alphabet org.

 

Opetaia and his manager have stated that Jai will be able to fight to unify outside of the Zuffa bubble, and any other belted champion joining them (like Usyk) would need assurances that their goals would be facilitated.

 

They should just call their titles instead of "Zuffa boxing champion" to "The Undisputed World Champion". It's so ridiculous it may work.

Don't be bitter, don't be jealous - Zuffa Boxing is eventually going to sign up all the top boxing talent and attract the younger audiences worldwide. [Saudi] money talks, and Turki has made it perfectly clear who he wants in bed with him; Dana White. Accept it and you'll feel better. The ufc model - monopolization - is the future of all combat sports.

"Zuffa Boxing" is a bit lame, though. UBC would be more fitting (Ultimate Boxing Championship).

 

Plus, these unscrupulous fit for nothing organisations have brought it all on themselves, these new movements within the boxing world will either go nowhere or they’ll takeover -if it’s the latter it’ll only be because the previous models didn’t work

 

Zuffa's 2nd card sounds competitively matched from the fights I'm hearing for the main card. Bohachuk vs Butaev should be fun.

 

that’s where you’re wrong

if the best fights get created, which has been a massive problem the last decade in boxing, they will bend the knee for him

 

You won't find me ever shedding a tear for any member of the Suleiman family.

I think one reality that has to be factored in is the safe assumption Turki and the Saudis don't exactly mind Dana White's very strong political connections, shall we say. But bottom-line, whoever brings the fights, wins. And having a major US promoter returning to the boxing scene may bode well for more fights at the one-time mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden ... though Vegas will certainly remain the dominant US venue.

Anyway... whether it's Turki, Dana, Eddie, Uncle Frank or even Ben Shalom -- or any combination therein (note I don't include nonagenarian Don King) .... just make the fights!

 

They have worked fine for years.

it’s the new people causing problems

 

Didn’t turki choose Warren, then Hearn, then who? He keeps moving. Too excitable can’t commit to one and wait
