Im curious as to how much smoke Fish eyes can blow up a Turkis ass before it farts in his face.

If Bonesaw buys DAZN its game set and no more matchroom either.

What’s funny to me is Hearn screwed him self out of an undisputed fight by swerving we-know-who and he’s gotta watch the undisputed fight between the fighters that beat the former this why “over-marinating “ is a bad biness good job edster

Who's on the Fury-Usyk undercard? It should be something truly special but struggling to come up with anyone bar Zhang v Anderson.

That would be a disaster for boxing fans , with little chance or want to get to the Saudi shows.Some may argue that it's the only way to see the fights , bit the truth is the promoters of fighters like Joshua and Wilder have played the fans for years with their safer business routes Big fighters belong in New York , London and Vegas .There's nothing like being at a big fight live ...with a beer and a few of the lads .These seem devoid of atmosphere but money talks and even gets promoters who hate each other decide it's right to fleece the situation together as 'friends' ....not for me.

They can’t fight all the time over there and have specific times out of the year boxing would be available, only on boxing scene can you create some weird angle that boxing globally will disappear when in fact you’ll see bigger fights all around so they get invited over there but only on boxing scene you guys are really ….

The reality is that going to live events is no longer an American favorite pastime. It's not just boxing, it's all sports and even includes WWE/AEW/etc. Baseball is likely the only real exception and maybe basketball.

And no, we can't just blame COVID. There's a lot to blame - mass shootings increasing when a ******** is president (as is the case right now), the "take a knee" fiasco, diva athletes demanding multi-millions, scandals, guys dropping dead or getting seriously hurt live, travel made worse with additional groping and screening plus forced masking, ticket prices skyrocketing, car dealers ripping people off, etc.
