Which big name will jump ship to ZUFFA? They have a bottom less pit of money to throw at fighters. How many more casualties will fall victim to Uncle Fester?
Top Rank's fighters are in a difficult situation they lost the ESPN contract. It wouldn't surprise me if Vianello and some others sign with Zuffa. Ajagba already has.
Turki and Dana White have genuine pulling power. Especially as a duo. Dana White obviously dislikes Eddie Hearn, but Turki seems to be fairly friendly enough with most people in the boxing world. Perhaps Turki is simply looking for more control and power and feels he can achieve that with Dana White. Got a feeling Usyk and Wilder may follow Benn and Ruiz etc to Zuffa, but we'll probably see some gatekeepers join Zuffa in the meantime.
I’ve read that after the eye pokes Aspinall is having serious problems with his vision and equilibrium. If Aspinall was fit I can’t see Fury taking that fight after the Ngannou debacle.
I doubt Zuffa will let any of their UFC guys transition over to boxing, with maybe a few exceptions due to star power. They simply wont let their own guys use the two ventures as leverage against the company itself. McGregor right now is having issues with the UFC because he intends to fight out his contract, something the company absolutely hates.
I hope they sign Dronov, Jalolov and Surov. They have Dychko, but he’s old now and has already been ruined by inactivity. Parker and Hrgovic would be a good additions. Queensberry has done a poor job with them because they are not British.
