Zuffa is betting on legislative changes because Dana White is best friends with Trump. with legislatives changes, Zuffa will basically muscle out the current WBC, WBO and IBF. Making them the only game in town. Then White will implement the same economic model as UFC. Much less pay for fighters and strict exclusivity. Fighters have no say who and when they fight. F@@@@ck Zuffa

Paulie said PAC won? LOL. Hell must have frozen over.

If you want to clean up PEDs in boxing, you want Haney to win the case. No fighter or trainer or promoter would risk a court case. it’s sad but this is the only way to stop PEDs.

It’s been since early 2000s. It barely gets news coverage even with ESPN. UFC has replaced it as the mainstream combat sport.

That's an inaccurate opinion, respectfully. Boxing is the number 4 most popular sport in the US - Harris Poll Great news for real Boxing fans. Although no longer centered in the United States, Boxing is the 4th most popular athletic spectator sport in the US, the largest revenue contributing nation! (And the three that lead it are largely provincial sports). https://*********.com/who-says-boxing-is-dead/129354 By Karl Freitag Hardcore boxing fans tend to gnash their teeth at the recent spate of exhibitions featuring former boxing legends, MMA fighters competing in boxing matches, combination boxing/Verzuz events, and Internet “influencers” squaring off in the ring. But there is a very bright side. In the most recent Harris Poll, boxing now ranks as the fourth most-popular sport in the United States, behind only football, baseball, and basketball. And ahead of MMA. Ahead of ice hockey. Ahead of soccer. Ahead of tennis. Ahead of golf. This is rather startling considering boxing wasn’t even in the top ten previously. And perhaps even more shocking is the fact that boxing is no longer just your grandfather’s favorite sport. Young people are flocking to the sweet science, even preferring boxing to baseball! Harris poll? That poll looks like Top Rank paid for it. I mean you could just see earnings, media coverage, social media, forums, celebrity status / mind share, etc. Who did Harris polled? A boxing gym? I can’t remember the last time a major boxing event was in the first 5 minutes of ESPN Sportscenter or covered in a 7/11 PM news coverage. Last time any of the boxer as a late night guest. Went viral. Oh wait… Jake Paul. That is probably the most “important” American boxer right now. Sheezaz. it is just not in the forefront of the American mind anymore. I love boxing since I watched Hagler v Hearns with my grandfather. But it is a sports in a decline here in the US. It is not top 3, not top 5. Maybe top 10 when there is a major PPV. But in any given day? Nope. No one cares. It is healthy in some nations which is keeping it alive.

What I'm seeing here is this: There are facts that are collected through scientific means, and then; there are options that are based on the impressions that individuals gather based on what they choose to be exposed to. Here, we are examining how different the two things can be. The UFC, owned by TKO Group Holdings, Inc, which markets both WWE Wresting and it’s close cousin, the UFC; is far, far more effectively marketed in the United States, than is Boxing; which is marketed by a collection of unconnected, self interested promotional companies who often sabotage each others businesses. I imagine that THIS is the basis of your error in conflicting with an official Harris Poll; one of the leading data collection companies in North America. With all due respect, the Harris Poll questioned only about 2K individuals. While it is enough to validate the poll, how accurate it is can be questioned. let’s say Harris is correct and boxing is popular. What other evidence is there other than this poll that affirms this? in the same poll, do you know who is highest most recognized active boxer ? At #10 Jake Paul. Above Canelo, Crawford, and Wilder. this poll reeks of a paid poll by a boxing institution so they can publish a press release. 660 of 2K people say they like boxing and their most popular active boxer is Jake Paul. Come on.

With a UK ref, Ward gets KTFO with a jab. In reality, Cal would look like an amateur especially from his famous slap shots.

——— There are over 40,000 Americans living and working in Saudi Arabia. They invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the US so how exactly do they not like Americans. As for disrespecting women, 60% of 911 calls is for domestic violence. American Men beat the crap out of women in the US like there is no tomorrow. A staggering number when compared to Saudi Arabia. California’s **** statistics is a thousand times worse than the whole of Saudi Arabia. So is Texas. So is NY. So who exactly hates women? Are Saudi Arabian women allowed to use the phone or do they need a male family member to dial for them? LOL. You really using calls to 911 to compare?
