Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: Turki Alalshikh Is The Face Of Boxing

[archiemoore1]

It's just weird how all you guys jumped on Hearn's nuts acknowledge 5 years ago and said that Dazn was the new shyte that was going to put the Americans out of business. Ten bucks a month no PPVs was all I heard. It didn't take to long for that to fail (like I told you) and after you guys rode Hearn's dyke so hard you snatched it out the socket and jumped str8t onto the freaky Sheiki's nuts. Now once again you're all saying he's going to put the Yanks out of business by over paying all the fighters just like Hearn/Dazn said they were going to do. Turki da Smurki is going to fail just like the rest. Boxing is a grass root sport that is home grown in the US and UK and it shall remain that way. I just can't understand how all you fuqers are just bending over to call someone his EXCELLENCY! I mean in the States we don't even refer to our 'leader' like that. We call the current administration OLD JOE AND THE BROWN HOE and the slimeball court defendant that's trying to get back in the White house as ORANGE CHEETO DUST MAN. You guys are sick!

I don't refer to anyone as OLD JOE or THE BROWN HOE. I call ppl by their real name, and certainly not by their color. You must be a DEPLORABLE

I am not sure "the face of boxing" is the right description for Turki because, outside the hardcore fans, the casuals are probably associating the sport with a fighter. But he is the man who drives boxing now, it is true.

I like these cards a lot, but this may be a better short term thing.

Imho may and pac level money started the fighters not wanting to do anything but coast into a golden ticket fight with the cash cow. Alvarez has kept that torch burning nicely.

I'm afraid if the Saudis pull out at some point it's going to crash hard. It's almost like a new crappy layer of the promotional battles ffs. Canelo will fight DB, but only for saudi money is an example.

Again, in my opinion, we need to address fighters making/expecting too much money. Not saying if they earn it they shouldn't get it, but Alvarez and ggg made dazn lose money. I think pbc may be regretting the canelo signing now. Alvarez and ggg should make huge amounts fighting each other, that's where the interest is, not steve rolls or jermell.

Boxing was always a business, but until the Mayweather era it was never even close to this bad. Hell, if you divide his career in two, the first half is what boxing should be.

Concerns many fans have, me too. But whatever happens, I think it will regulate, fix itself. Eventually will go through a very weak period.

Teddy Atlas, a NYC native comes off as so righteous, but he seems to have forgotten that 15 of the 19, 9/11 hijackers were Saudi Nationals. I guess money will do that.

what about WTC7 or the non existent airplane that hit the Pentagon?
