Comments Thread For: Reported Saudi Arabia Concept Could Cure Many Boxing Ills

[DClefthook]

The end of the great American Boxing fraud-racket is upon us.

Thank God.

Multiple losses soon for Haney, Tank and others. Their obviously stage managed bulls hit careers are about to be laid bare.

Another big reason why boxing fails is because of idiots like this. A jealous anti-black fhiggot trying to masquerade as a real boxing fan. "Multiple losses soon for Haney and Tank"... hahahaha!! You're not man enough to beat them in the ring fair and square so you need to use steroids or run and go get a desert sugar daddy to help you out. Hahaha fuqing pathetic!!!

The saudis dont care if they profit or not. It allows them to out pay anyone else. That is similar to the early DAZN days blowing through venture capital funds.

That is great in the short term but the problem is its not sustainable and all promoters cannot do this which means not everyone can get saudi money and you will get fighters who didnt get on saudi cards waiting it out until they get picked.

dont get me wrong i know its been great the last 2 years but we seen this before with DAZN. If the prince looses interest in boxing at any time or if something happens like a war ect that diverts their attention and the Saudi fights stop then boxers are going to be out pricing themselves like after DAZN had to start trying to be profitable.

The Saudis are into this for the long-term, not just boxing, but sports in general.

I think they will take a majority stake in DAZN as well, it's the perfect platform for their plans.

Turkis making disruption in Boxing no doubt about that but I still wonder whats uncle Bob and uncle AL REAL take on all this. Lol

[Phase III]

Following is the Saudi Master Plan from an inside source who has spoken directly to Turkie. Given the Saudi money influence, Turkie can just stage the fights fans desire and fighters could let their contract expire and be part of the Saudi league.

The key for Turkie’s vision to come full circle is a three step process:

1. eliminate promoters and managers like Hearn, Warren, and Shelly Finkel, for example, who are basically doing no promoting or managing whatsoever while lining their pockets with easy Saudi money.

2. The corrupt sanctioning bodies would be eliminated altogether and instead fighters will fight for one belt in each weight division. No more promoter and fighter sanction fees. Instead, fighters will fight for a meaningful and prestigious championship belt. The belt alone would be worth six figures and be designed by Cartier.

3. The Saudi’s would welcome a truly independent oversight committee which they would fund to resolve any fighter dispute. This would eliminate the useless ABC, which is also run by corrupt idiots who do nothing to protect fighter anyway.

The Saudi’s would stage fights in the USA, Emirates, and EU where there would be a real boxing atmosphere. Fights would be shown free and income would derived from add revenue given the millions of viewers who would tune in. Bye bye to the pirated streaming services that currently have more viewers than paying PPV customers, and rip off PPV fees.

There would be no advertising from gaming sites, or alcohol based companies.

FYI, Bob Arum’s Top Rank is desperately trying to get in bed with Turkie because ESPN is not going to renew his deal.

Turkie is very interested in the UFC format where fighters fight each other without interference from corrupt Promoters and Managers. UFC President, Dana White may have a critical role for in the Saudi vision. Dana is Turkie’s go to person for guidance given his massive success. The UFC model is exactly what the Saudi’s are planning around. Fireworks, excitement, and massive fan appeal instead of the predictable mismatch, BS fights staged by boxing promoters.

The one area where the Saudi’s are having a difficult time dealing with are women fights. However, as long as those fights are not staged in Saudi, the problem has a solution because Turkie is aware of the mass fight appeal women have in the UFC.

Last, all fighters will be subject to VADA testing and any fighter guilty of cheating will receive a lifetime ban from the sport, and not be paid until their test come back negative.

Anyway...sorry for the rant but I've been saying this for 10 years now except I didn't have the Saudis in mind to take over the sport. So I'll say it again: Al, Bob and Oscar need to join on one network (prime or espn). We don't need the Saudis for anything!

Lmao I'm loving this seethe. And it's about to get x100 worse when the playing field is even and american fighters won't be able to fraud their way to cultivated 30-0 records.

All we want is fair competition: neutral referees and judges.

Is that so much to ask yankie?

To fix boxing, somebody with deep pockets has to come in and take a massive loss for years, we’re talking like for ten years, to restructure the sport. I think we’ve finally found the deep pockets….

[turnedup]

First rule to fixing boxing? Gut the wbc top to bottom, as the more visible and vocal group in boxing ending the Sulaiman reign would send a clear cut message across the sport that you can’t “befriend and payoff” someone to rank. I hope this happens because quite frankly I’m tired of fighters going to the grave nearly destitute.

What I love about boxing is that super fights are actually "super" fights. UFC gives you the best vs. the best often but without any build up. They literally just throw in the #1 and #2 in the ring together and call it a super fight but it happens so often that it begins to lose it's allure. I agree that you can't let a fight marinate for too long, but I am definitely an advocate of letting fights marinate to become an even bigger deal. Canelo and Benavidez will be a super fight if it happens this year or by next year at the latest. Crawford Spence was a super fight. But if there was a league like the UFC, we would have gotten Spence vs. Crawford years ago and it just wouldn't have had the same magnitude.
