    Vegas and new york will always be the mecca, but one thing is for sure...USA promoters better step the f up or get left behind.

        Very true man.

        Something tells me that this will be for the long haul definitely.

          Can he do something for a welterweight division, that is a wasteland right now? But it is also the truth there are no lucrative names right now at 147..
          I think Mr. Turki's goal is to uplift the sport in many divisions. It just takes time, he can't do it all overnight.

          I have high hopes he will make amazing events for several divisions. He actually started with the 5 V 5 event.

            He's related to the king (royal family).

              I wouldn't say always.

              People thought HBO would always be around and Showtime in Boxing.

              Things change, things evolve, and this is a probablity that those spots may diminish as Meccas for the sport.

              Facts, these promoters got to get their heads out thier greedy selfish A$$es and get it right.

              Turki is waking them up no doubt.
