      I'm surprised that I haven't seen anything about this PBC / Amazon deal on Amazon. You'd think that they would be promoting the heck out of it , at least on Prime Video and on their shopping site too. I hope that the deal is still on. I'd hate to see boxing become even more of a niche sport and have to depend solely on the Saudis to make and host big fights. It looks like the casinos are alp but out of the boxing business.The expansion of ******** has not done Vegas any favors.

        *This isn’t a political statement in any way*

        the loss of Trump/Trump casino in jersey also hurt the sport IMO. So many big fights were held there

          Might be a has-been based on real Cuban age but 2nd rate fighters don't match FMW Jr in the prime in power punches landed. His left was just as accurate as /FMW's Philly right.

            Someone said fights would be announced in March. I don't remember the exact sports source but it wasn't someone on this sight, someone in the industry.,

              I think Zerafa is trying to come back big. It's obvious his team's main objective is the big fight in Australia with Tim Tzsyu. He seemed to be backed by a serious investor trying their stake at something huge. They won't get there if this Lara fight is being denied to them.
