Shakur Signs with Zuffa

And the Paramount plus belt belongs to....

 

Still not as bad as finding out they haven't removed the pickles.

 

Well spoken. He's the goods, but not an exciting fighter nor an admirable human being sans his work ethic. Makes up for a lot, but he's still an unlikeable punk and nobody is gonna buy his shows. He's not even consequential enough to get wish-money(wish to see him take a whoopin') like Floyd did.

 

That made me laugh, but I do keep them in the order.

I simply open the burger and they disappear (wife loves em)

 

Yeah, I stopped requesting no pickles decades ago, honestly. Just looking for a laugh. Mission accomplished.

Shakur lost all the momentum from the theo fight smh

 

No one cares if a boxer is exiting, as long as the ratings come in and the tickets are sold. Both TR and Matchroom walking away so quietly from him is a sign that Shakur might be more popular than he is capable at the box office.

Years ago now, Golovkin was at one point one of the biggest ratings drawn on HBO, if not the biggest. The fans tuned in when he fought, but they did not purchase the PPV´s, not until Canelo. Both the Jacobs and Lemieux PPV´s were massive flops, even tho Golovkin was at the time doing well in ticket sales and viewership.

I honestly don't think Shakur is even close to Golovkin at the box office, even tho he seems to be commanding an equal profile.

 

Nothing has come of it tho. Its the same as all of the other big money pushes in boxing; Roc Nation, 50Cent/TMT, DAZN/Matchroom...

PBC is the only one to get hundreds of millions as bankroll and make something out of it. It didn't last too long, but they had several good years, and are still around somehow.

IMO, the Saudi´s are losing steam too, which is crazy.

 

Lemme guess this is because everyone is "ducking" him

 

I can't understand having a business plan underpinned by hubris and provocative behaviour. Boxing needs a shakeup, but Dana isn't a great figurehead for this. Obnoxious arras.

 

True plus the Saudis gave up on liv golf after about 5 years. Wonder how long they hang around boxing for

 

You come from Aotearoa, the home of paua & whitebait fritters, and smoked eel; and you're eating McDonalds? I can't say too much here though, similar has happened in Oz.

 

Doesn't make me feel like watching Zuffa any more

 

Very rarely. We have better local burger options. Ironically you can't beat the local fish n chip shop they do awesome burgers.

As for seafood yeah we got it pretty good, but you Aussies do some amazing food too especially in Melbourne
