Jalolov is from Uzbekistan and thats as Kazakhstan is in Central Asia. I dont understand why people call Uzbekistan & Kazakhstan Eastern Europe. Its far far away from Eastern Europe.

my $0.02...

for every PPV fight, the same folks should put a (decent) card on free TV. that's the way to bring in new fans; free!

I say strip Usyk of the IBF belt.

Have Wilder v Chris Aerrelo fight for the title on a PBC $99.99 PPV. The undercard could be Ghost v Berto 2, JMWCharlo against Broner. The semi main will be Ortiz v Fabio Wardley.

What fans wouldn’t jump at the chance to buy this card.

Time on top is short. Fury has farted around long enough.

Most people can't place Uzbekistan on a map. It's a mixture of laziness and ignorance. For context, London is the same distance away from Boston as it is from Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan

The sooner boxing promoters and sanctioning bodies learn to be better businessmen and work sponsorships and advertising dollars better to get more cards on easy to access TV, the sooner they will start making HUGE bank on PPV cards. If you get fighters on free TV more often, these PPV cards that are built up by allowing the casual combat sports fan to get excited for the big fights will have way more legs. It is like people forget how much free boxing there was in the 70's, 80's, and 90's that ushered in these golden eras of boxing. It is the missing ingredient.

i do wish though that US produced way more heavyweight fighters other than just Wilder. So much talent here and they’re all in the NFL/NBA..
