No atmosphere, no real interest in boxing, the shows are void of any passion and quite frankly, weird. One night, His Excellency got into the ring on 3 separate occasions for these reasons. 1. Inducted into some Boxing Hall of Fame. Lucidrous. Treating this guy like he is Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Balboa or Nash Out. 2. He gets in again for a world championship belt. The guy's never had a fight! 3. He gets into the ring for a very rigged contest when some guy, who enters down the aisle clearly knowing beforehand that he had already won a super car. Maybe a friend or lover of His Excellency.
Great fights are held at New York, Vegas, Wembley, and Eddie Hearn's Garden. We have great memories of the fights and the locations. Even in Hearn's Garden when he put on multiple iconic fights during Covid, the sound of the punches landing was thrilling, and bouts contested by clean athletes like Povetkin vs Whyte live long in the memory.
The occasional fight in rare locations such as Africa is fine, but let's stop this Saudi Arabia nonsense. 90% of all major fights should be held at one of the above locations. Nash believes that the very real Lineal belt can not be fought for in Saudi Arabia, nor can a unification and any rematch involved also does not count. Nash hereby declares Tyson Fury vs Uysk to be both No Contest results and Tyson Fury is now unbeaten again. They fight again in Hearn's Garden before rematching at the Peppermint Hippo in Vegas. Nash out - His Most Majestic Majesty
its a bit like some bigwig in americas midwest deciding to put on a few of these shows

Nash knows best. Sleepy Saudis don’t deserve these fights, it’s like giving a pastor 7 supermodels for the night, not gonna appreciate or know what to do with them. Give boxing back to the people !!
Depends if their underage or not
lmao

No bro Bud ain't no fool, but prove me wrong. Prove to me that Turki didn't pay Bud an extra $75 million under the table. I'll make it easier, prove that Turki didn't pay Bud and extra $30 million dollars under the table.... Or better yet, how much did Turki pay Bud under the table???
maybe turki gave him a BJ under dat table LMAO
too many post to keep track of, I'm just replying to post I quoted. Are we in agreement that because Turki has a crush on Bud and Turki has endless pockets, Bud was paid an additional $75 million under the table? If your answer is "yes", I'm glad we can agree....
it was a response to one of your posts so u should be keeping track of it
now u are being silly, bud didnt get 75 mil but he certainly got more than 2.5 for madrimov lol
u take bud for a foo but he aint no foo

I can't argue that Bud didn't get paid under the table, because that's not reported income. I can only argue wha is available to both you and I via Public Record. No point in arguing over anyone else's opinion as everyone is entitled to their opinion.
so what exactly is public record? if there was an agreement to up buds pay v certain ppv numbers (which only he and turki would know details of) this info on ppv numbers and upside and all of that does not come in straight away in fact these figures can take weeks to months to finalise so any figure that is 'public record' will only be entered in to 'public record' well after the event and will not be known until well after the event
see my above post

It’s all good and being around boxing circles , I’ve seen much worse than under the table payments
I just can’t see the greedy boxer , reported or not , making less money flying across the world to fight for the same amount they would get paid to do right here in their own backyard
And yes I know the Bud fight was in Cali
Yes , I do believe they get mucho dinero under the table and if it was legal I guess it would be reported
Just like lawyers know the verdict because most cases are solve in the hallway of courthouses

No bro, Turki just told Bud, "we'll only report $2.5 million to the State, but because you're my favorite fighter and I have endless amounts of money, I'm gonna pay you $100 million under the table, are you cool with that Bud?" to which Bud replied, "Awe Turki, that ain't necessary, I'll settle for $75 million under the table".
Are we in agreement that Turki actually paid Bud an extra $75 million under the table Smash? Is that number too low? Too high? Or just about right? What amount should we guess on? Keep in mind that Turki has a crush on Bud and no amount that Bud asks for will put a dent on Turki's Bank account. Let's get creative with the amount in the interest of generosity....
see my above post
sigh oh yeah lets see then
turki to bud, hey bud ill pay u 2.5 mil upfront and if the event does well i will pay u more than that, Bud thinks ok turki yeah your are changing the sport i like u i agree, turki say Great thanks bud
after the event figures come back in turki not happy he has to ring bud tell him the bad news no more cash for bud event did poor, ring ring hi bud im sorry to say but all u get is 2.5 mil and nothing else ppv numbers are poor, Bud eyes wider, eh ok turki thats a pity but im ok with it i guess

Boxing is and has always been a shady business.
If you're suggesting that deals were made on the side that allowed Bud to make unreported money, I won't argue that, because I can't prove that Turki didn't pay Bud under the table. Maybe you can prove that Turki paid Bud more under the table, but I surely can't.
What I can prove, is that $2.5 million is the guaranteed amount that was reported to the State. For some reason a couple of guys get bent out of shape because the reported guaranteed amount that Turki Bud paid is only $2.5 million.
Should we guess or imagine that Turki paid Bud millions more under the table?? Why not? I'm a fan of Bud, I'm gonna guess or imagine that Turki paid Bud another $75 million to fight Madrimov. Why wouldn't Turki pay him that much? After all, he's got an endless amount of money at his disposal and Bud is his favorite fighter. I think it's reasonable to think that Turki would kick in an additional $75 million just because he can afford to and has a crush on Bud...

Why is that so difficult to understand? Are you just flat out refusing to believe that Bud agreed to a lower guarantee but a high PPV upend deal after he left Arum?
