Can you see that though , buy out Frank who i highly doubt would sell , and who will run it for him , Franks sons , why , they could carry on and run it for themselves , could see Turki buying shares though , perhaps in both matchroom boxing arm , and Franks . These guys do seem on a colosal mision to change things around , for the benefit of the words i'd never heard of before , Sports washingRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑15 Jan 2025, 07:34I think he meant Turki buy out Frank.
Frank is signing them all the time. Eddie signed Conor Tudsbury recently.stujones wrote: ↑15 Jan 2025, 10:16 I cannot see the Saudi's being particularly interested in building up someone. I see Eddie's and Frank job is to build up someone so they end up in Riyad season.
Problem is - do Frank / Eddie have that desire now - all they are really talking about is the established stars and its Turki this, Turki that, his excellency blah blah. Cannot really remember the last time Eddie / Frank signed a non Olympic amateur.
Great cards that they are - there is a lot of recycling going on - particularly in the Heavyweights. Yes Moses Utoma is now getting the exposure, but that's about it recently - the rest is Parker, Chisora, Wilder, Zhang, Dubois, Usyk, AJ, Fury round robin of recycled fighters. Not even Bakoyle is getting the opportunity.
Bakole’s had 2 fights on Riyadh season shows and his next one will be financed by Turki too.stujones wrote: ↑15 Jan 2025, 10:16 I cannot see the Saudi's being particularly interested in building up someone. I see Eddie's and Frank job is to build up someone so they end up in Riyad season.

Where did he accrue his own money? Who pays him?maverick23 wrote: ↑14 Jan 2025, 03:13Not quite. He also has extreme personal wealth. Not everything he’s done so far has been done using PIF money. The Ring purchase for example was done with ‘his own’ money. There will also be shows this year that he’ll finance personally rather than using PIF money.
I agree though he’s not a builder of fighters. The shows are helped by having a mouthpiece which Eddie and Frank have done well, and obviously many top level fighters are tied down to promoters.
I’ve no idea where is own money came from. He’s in a very senior role and I’m sure he’s benefitted greatly from it.Alba wrote: ↑24 Jan 2025, 05:12Where did he accrue his own money?

Trust me, he could be defrocked both literally and financially if the crown think he's getting too big
