Turki's tragic terminal tumour tidings

Post by johnmanchester »

Turki recently revealed he has a brain tumour and will "forget his own name" in the next couple of years.

Which explains the rush to make all the fights

But has he made a mistake revealing this?

Eddie and Frank have been backing toward the ropes as Big Turki backed UFC Boxing into becoming a new monster

Do the Brits now play a waiting game with renewed confidence?

It was made public when he first dipped his fingers into boxing that he had major health issues.

I don't think the tumour was mentioned however..

Right

Now he's put a purative timeline on it. Was that a mistake? Does it give succour to his frenemies?

Often if one is diagnosed with a brain tumor it's a matter of months before they pass.

Zuffa is funded by Sela.

Not Turki himself.

TKO holdings group also have a stake in Zuffa. Not just Sela.

Makes no difference, the Saudi money is the fuel. TKO is the operations and manpower.
