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?

I never knew this, that must be hard to live with. Just goes to show you health is wealth.

Poor Turks.

He's certainly lived a life less ordinary however.

That's crap. I feel sorry for anyone with that horrible illness. He's making his mark

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

Does this mean if he dies then Zuffa and all that he is funding will go ? With that sort of disease you can't choose yourself when you go, my Dad went in days

Zuffa is funded by Sela.

Not Turki himself.

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

I agree. I feel sorry for anyone going through this type of tragedy.
