Saudi Money lead to complacent fighters??
How much of this "investment" from these headchoppers going to improve the sport when the guaranteed oil money means you just have to basically show up, ala Bakole last two fights Even taking away the immorality of it, it will be counter productive too, Sunny Edwards wanted out of that fig...

Re: biggest gap between family members
Nick Blackwell was a good prospect, Dan Blackwell was tough but pretty much a losing journeyman

Re: Turki AlAlshikh Pulls Out of Boxing…
Maybe it is a veiled threat because I can imagine some people trying to pull the Saudi pants down. Yes, we are loaded, but you won’t take the piss out of us. I say to the pros cashing now whilst you can because when the tap gets turned off, people are going to regret trying to haggle with the Saudi...

Re: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn | PPV - 26 April 2025
Watched the Morgan interview last night, really enjoyed it. Aside from Eubank Jr’s inflated opinion of his world champion credentials, he played it really well all the way through. Benn was obviously on the back foot but it wasn’t a mugging, he chipped in with some decent comebacks at times (with a...

Re: Joe Calzaghe - Question Mark
Calzaghe looked gassed after that 10 second play around .. I believe Calzaghe would have beaten Froch even on his worse night - but likely lost to Ward on his best. Way too much workrate for Ward on the inside, Ward had trouble with the pace and up close toughness of Sakio Bika, Joe swept the first...

Re: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn | PPV - 26 April 2025
Piers Morgan is a POS. Don't give him the views. And his overloaded panel show was stolen from Twitch politics channels political panels, like Hippy Dippy Roundtables by Dylan Burns, a lot of Piers guests come directly from these "internet bloodsport" political professional wrestling promos

He reinvests, Jesus christ, he has an ocean of oil money, Daniel Kinahan invested in his fighters with drug money, and they all wouldn't say a word again at him, now they deny they ever knew him , because their money was being threatened Remember the MTK "Boycott Irish Media" campaign that...

Re: Will Dana White finish off Hearn and Warren?
I wonder if Turki is now feeling the boxers / promoters are being over payed for the revenue they are bringing in terms of tourism to the UAE and this is one way to try and get the big fights still, but for less money. The current system is not financially sustainable - even though the pockets are ...

Re: Will Dana White finish off Hearn and Warren?
Listening to Dana talking last night, it's crystal clear that Turki isn't happy with how things have gone so far and has brought White in to sort things out, achieve his objectives and to be the biggest global player in boxing. I do feel for Turki. Usyk unifies, then because the IBF are on their pe...

Re: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn | PPV - 26 April 2025
Let’s have it right Eubank Jr got a start off his dads name but he has fought his way to not be living off his dad’s coattails and his name holds enough weight in boxing for him and his abilities alone. Benn on the other hand is where he is at now still off his dads name (and eggs), so it’s only fi...

It won't be that hard when they can literally pay anyone any amount of oil money I agr...

we will lose the sport to this Saudi takeover, he has bought part of Dazn and will soon own it all and it will become a pugilistic cheerleader for a feudal blood regime.

Apologies for late log on and responses, just finished work so having half hour on here before bed, I genuinely makes me sad about this, the 'media' are nearly almost uniformly either inhouse PR or blatant cheerleaders for this.

Re: Daniel Kinahan ordered to pay damages of $9.7 million to U.S. promoter
Some heavy allegations in Twitter regarding Kinihan and Top Rank planning to poach all FW’s fighters a few years ago. That's why Daniel got a strong message of "You got away with it over there because of your dads connections, don't be trying to muscle in with your promotion/money laundering d...

Re: Will Dana White finish off Hearn and Warren?
Promoters will always try to big their boxers. Hype a fight. If that means you attach a ‘world title’ to the fight it can help sell. Like when Hatton held the WBF title or whatever it was for ages. I was young then and believed it was a world title. WBO title was barely established when Calzaghe wo...
