Kid Galahad will not step aside for Warrington

[Ruthless-RKO]

He says he’s from Yemen. They’re hated in Saudi.

What reaction does Naz get in Saudi?

Well he’s been to Saudi for the pilgrimage when he was fighting. But no one really says anything whilst doing a pilgrimage.

KG is hardly Naz is he?
I have loads of Saudi customers who train at a local RAF base. They despise Yemen.

What about when he's been to boxing events?

There's a civil war in Yemen. Do they despise the side that Saudi Arabia is supporting?

[Pugilist-specialist]

KG isn’t getting the fight.

Are you still not telling us why not?

No idea if he has even been to any there mates. I don’t think there should be an issue unless you start waving Yemen flags about.

Barry on DAZN???

Maybe. But I can’t imagine there’s a hard-core stateside boxing fraternity waiting for KG to appear before they subscribe to DAZN.

But he’s never going to be a guy who gets them subscribers.
Hes got talent but he’s not TV friendly.

Definitely. Apart from family members or friends, no one new is gonna subscribe to see him.

He should go to Saudi if he wants the big money....

It’s very clear his family members aren’t his biggest fans either. ‘Watergate’

If Barry had a world title would he be less marketable than Gavin McDonnell, Callum Johnson, Anthony Crolla and Jono Carroll?
Would he be as marketable as Liam Smith, Billy Joe Saunders, Rocky Fielding and Kal Yafai?

With your extensive knowledge of the Middle East you've already convinced us that he would be persona non grata

I think Crolla had a high popularity factor.
As for McDonnell,Johnson and Carroll they all got thrown in the deep end. Pretty much chosen to be a ‘soft defence’

Saunders has had financial backing. Something Galahad hasn’t been afforded. Saunders was pretty much the face of allegedly. He had the perfect platform after Lemeiux. A mixture of CoronaVirus, Nasal Spray and being highly unlikeable have stunted his professional growth since.

Fielding won the secondary World title. The fact he was able to cash that in and become the B-side against Canelo is fantastic management by his team. He’s achieved far more than his skillset should of allowed. Far went past his ceiling. Rocky is a success story.

I really like your comparisons with Yafai and Beefy.
Yafai and Smith had ‘World level’ Talent. Exactly the same as Galahad.
The problem with Smith and Yafai was even as World champions they were never going to be the Division number 1.
They went for safe defences, tried to get a unification but didn’t have the marketability to force through a big unification fight.
They both then managed to get a ‘money’ fight as the B-Side of the promotion. (Canelo, Chocolito)
If Galahad can force his rematch through it could be last chance saloon at World level for him. He’s avoided. Far too skilled for what he brings financially and popularity wise to the table.
If he wins I’d expect Warrington to go for a third fight (May be another hard sell if the second fight doesn’t catch fire)
Can’t see anyone in a rush to unify with him. Maybe a couple of ‘soft’ defences on big undercards til an opportunity to pimp the title out as a B-side to a top-tier opponent who brings the cash to the table.

I agree with you, pal.
Some can't accept this happening on DAZN or in Saudi.

Crolla did 15,000 at The Arena. Eddie wouldn’t risk KG at Sheffield arena. Even Kell struggles. Terri Harper sold most last time.

What does that matter when he nearly sells out at his own city?

It's not really relevant to him getting a fight in LA.

He was a big domestic star, in his own city. Not nationwide. He could probably take some fans around the UK with him, but there would be no need. Big enough arena in Manchester, whether he headlined or was co-feature.

Apparently a deal is close for a Warrington vs Xu unification when boxing comes back. Xu will be made full WBA champion when Tank vs Santa Cruz gets made

Worth watching what Russell Jr does now that Tank vs Santa Cruz is going to happen, previously hes said he'll move to 135 if he doesnt get a big fight next. Galahad would fight for the vacant WBC, going off the rankings if this happened. Another possibility is that Russell Jr has previously issued a "come and get me" to Hearn, Hearn said he wasnt really interested because of the inactivity, but now it could solve problems. Do Russell Jr vs Galahad and Warrington vs Xu, winners fight after.

Tank has been charged with assault.
The world is almost in lockdown but when boxing resumes the IBF mandatory will be about due.
