    Lets see, too many orgs and promoters have had control and we've been fed more fodder than substance. Let Turki keep doing what he's doing. If it fails, fcuk it, can't be any worse than what it's been

        I am not buying it, the promotional companies will never sell their business, or allow one man to consolidate all of that power, not for any amount of money, they might rent out fighters, but sell the business to this guy? Lol that will NEVER happen

          Probably like the Super 6 but on grander scale and across multiple weight classes. We’d be spoiled.

            Word on the streets is...american based promotions shaking on their boots with this possibility.

              As long as they pay them well, Im cool with. If they don't pay well, then Other promoters will keep on making events of their own.

                Why? Lol

                Would you rather take 100m now or 10m a year for the next 10 years?

                boxing is a stressful risky business. I would much rather live off the yield of cold hard cash.

                anyway Arum is old as ****, Haymon is a totally useless bum that just isn't cut out for this anyway, and Eddie Hearn would take the buy out if thw money was right plus a position as one of the top execs.

                it's time for boxing to come together. **** all these rival promoters and sanctioning bodies. It's time for one banner.

                it's time to bring the Great Yank Boxing Fraudopoly to an end.

                  I couldn't agree more with you. Obviously some folks never know what they want or their sense of reasoning is clouded by racism.

                    Why do you hate Arabs? Is it because they are brown and predominantly Mũslīms?
                    Perhaos you were a huge supporter of the Jim Crow era. They used the same exact words when talking about a future dominated and controlled by blacks.
