Yes please cut America out of YOUR boxing. You can't! Do you know why? Because without American boxing paying all of those sanctioning fees so they can sanction other fights around the world boxing would wither and die in those places. You guys arr like welfare for boxing. Always complaining but can't leave "the American bixing" alone because we will cut your food stamps off!Comment

Ok. So how about you respect Saudi Arabia for staging the big fights, paying boxers what they deserve and using their money to make guys not duck one another? That is about sports. When you throw in other wild accusations, you are pulling double standards.
As for your last statement, I can appreciate your patriotism but it just means you have no issues with what we don’t other poor non-white nations. Own it.Comment

They already have taken over dazn. Hearn runs around like a little high school khunt bragging about her rich new boyfriend 'Turkey-man'. And you're also correct that no one outside of America will step foot into this country and do a corporate hostile takeover of any industry. Five years ago Dazn came here with ambitions to take and monopolize boxing. They were also nieve enough to think they could comodeere the NFL NBA and MLB. Six years later they got chased out of here tail tucked between their Pucci lips and ran over to the desert to convince the oil barons to use boxing to wash heir dirty money in America. It ain't happening. Daniel Kinakan already tried and not only did the FBI stop him they have now chased him out of Saudi and into Iran. Stop trying to drag us into your BS!Comment

That is Turkie’s plan. The UFC model works and Turkie sees that as the pillar for success. He knows, he doesn’t need TR, Matchroom, Warren, or PBC in the way. It’s his bat and ball and the Saudi’s have what all fighters want. $$$ w/o lazy promoters and managers sucking their fighters dry, while only creating traffic jams.
Dana White created the blueprint that boxing has desperately needed for years. The only exception, fighters will get paid handsomely for their efforts.
Turkie has been told to forget Canelo vs Crawford, and instead focus on Crawford vs Boots, that’s the fight Crawford wants no part of. Canelo vs Benevidez is also the fight everyone wants. Turkie knows that in the short term to make those fights he needs to deal with Matchroom’s, and PBC. He also knows that they really do nothing but suck the blood out of their fighters and basically do no real promoting. It will take some time, but the word will go out to fighters, be patient and don’t resign with your promoters once your contract expires.
One thing that Turkie has come to terms with is in order to have real fireworks, the fights must not be staged in Saudi where the atmosphere is abysmal. Look for the revival of Madison Square Garden. Vegas is not of interest because it goes against their culture with the ********, prostitution, and uncontrolled alcohol consumption.
Fighters will be evenly matched to avoid the horrific mismatches that promoters and sanctioning bodies have on a regular basis. Think of Thoroughbred Racing where horses are classified to avoid a Stakes horse for example running against a Claimer. There will be events such as USA vs Europe. Things are being hashed out to include fighters from Latin America and Africa. Fighter activity will be paramount. There could be a type of polling similar to College Sports There will be one event per month that will not go against a UFC PPV. All weight classes will be represented and weigh-ins will take place the morning of the event. Fighters will be required to go thru several weigh-in during a 30-60 day period to avoid fighters cutting massive weight and being at risk. There is even talk of a World Cuo of Boxing every four years similar to football/ soccer where each qualifying nations boxers will compete against other nations.
MSG and Dubai will be given priority, as well as the O2 in the UK.
The shakeup is coming. R.I.P Promoters, and Sanctioning Bodies.
Other plans in the works are an exclusive fight channel and a brilliant team of play by play and fight analyst. Mauro Ranollo has the inside track for US audiences and Adam Smith to satisfy the loyal UK audience. RJJ and Antonio Tarver are being given consideration as fight analyst. Tarver is seen as the Charles Barkley of boxing, his analysis is off the charts and he tells it like it is. Fight fans relate quite well to Roy and Tarver. They speak language that fight fans understand, and they are not network patsies like Tony Bellew for example.
Fights cannot end in a draw. Draws are one of boxing’s dirty little secrets where most fights involve hometown cooking by corrupt promoters. If there is a draw after 12 championship rounds, Round 13 will be called “This Is It” and fight fans will be on there feet cheering for an eventual winner. This will bring massive excitement to the sport. Turkie understands draws in boxing suck. He want a winner to be declared. There is also talk of having a fourth judge where if one judge scores look questionable, the fourth judge will decide the outcome. None of the four judges will know who may be the deciding judge in order to keep things free of corruption. The unusual scorecard will be thrown out. Judges and referee’s will be assigned on the merits and accuracy of their work.
Last, the Saudi’s will contribute 5% of each fighters purse to that fighters pension plan and the money will be invested as part of the Saudi Wealth Fund.
Turkie is learning on the job, but the end result will be fabulous for fight fans. More updates will follow as the plans are more clear. Inshallah, boxing will soon return to its glory days thanks to Turkie’s vision and the Saudi’s financial backing.Comment
