Comments Thread For: Riyadh Season announces partnerships with Top Rank, Golden Boy

Tank vs. Shakur? No thanks. That would be like watching a wolf chase a chicken around the henhouse.

I would love to See Shakur get KOed, unless Tank doesn't know how to cut the ring or break the clinch. Who else would Tank fight that is bigger than vs Shakur, and don't say someone who is not in the weight class.
Leave that for FANTASY fights.

Please let this mean that a GBP vs. TR 5v5 card is now a possibility!

That would be really interesting. Maybe PBC can get in on it too.

You know what they say about the one who squeals the loudest....It's always the ones who complain the most about it that turn out being into it. A thousand preachers , priests ,activists , and politicians prove the theory. Some of these cats just have those pictures seared into their memories.

I thought the original joke about the fishnets pic in this thread was to do with Turki's Islamic beliefs & his overall respect level for ODLH, rather than just a cheap shot but idk maybe I read too much into it.

[boxingitis]

Their Islamic beliefs in public and the shlt that those Sheiks get up to in private are two very different things. Google " The Dancing Boys" of Afghanistan. It's not just Afghanistan either.
Those dudes are the worst women haters in the world, not just in public , if you get my drift. The ***es there are so segregated. Get caught with a girl who isn't a family member and you are in big trouble , huge trouble. It's a crazy situation , unnatural. The most natural thing in the world is for men and women to have *** , hell I started at 13 , but it's not allowed there unless you are married. Read up on it man , you'll be surprised what you find out. They're a lot like the Ancient Greeks.
Shlt , not much different than the RNC here.

They are pretty Gay as fars as I know. It's always a sausage fest in most of their gatherings as they don't allow women. They wear white long dress. The lift that dress up
You know they like praying ass up face down multiple times a day, surrounded by other men.

Right after Shakur bailed LOL

Hahahaha

[DClefthook]

That's a pretty big move, while different promotions will do occasional cards to prompt up inhouse fighters, at least Turki will get to pit the best against the best without any restraints. Most of his cards have about 3-4 bouts that are main event worthy in the undercard.

Now that GBP and Top Rank are signed along matchroom and queensbury promotions, anything that is viewed as difficult to happen is a possibility now.

TR still has ESPN as their network. Meaning there will be some TR&Turki shows on ESPN...not Dazn

In February 2020, when asked about a fight between AJ and Fury, Ol' Bob told Business Insider that regular fights in Saudi Arabia "kills the sport". He further stated:

"If we care about this sport and want to see it grow then the fight should take place either in the United States or in the UK," Arum said. "We owe it to our fans to do that....I don't mind and I don't fault Eddie for going to Saudi Arabia with the Joshua v Ruiz fight," Arum said. "[He] made a good buck, that was okay, but you can't keep doing it or you're going to kill the sport. And it's not political, we're putting politics aside. We're just talking as a promoter who wants to appeal to the most boxing fans."

Don't ever change Bob, over the years we have come to appreciate you being an unapologetic slime ball who is never afraid to change your position if it earns you an extra buck.

Top Rank evolves with the times, been around since 1966. has had affiliations with ESPN going back to the 80s. Are you on commision with PBC?? This injection of capital will possibly fund fights, the fans might not otherwise see. Are you against seeing good match ups or seeing companies making money? As a "fight" fan who watches all promotions, I cant figure out why this move would anger you and bring out your hate???

[fistandfury]

PBC should slam them with an anti trust lawsuit, without question, and they will win. It checks all the boxes of anti competitive behavior

[Slip jab]

I see this as a broader move with the major moves that are already done is only the foot in the door. Idk what the end picture looks like but boxing fans are in for a treat. I’m thinking how big we are on sports in US that they want in and boxing being fractioned it was an opportunity that could lead to putting their stamp on other major sporting events. The name kinda hints at it , Entertainment Authority. Heck Eminem is on the Bud fight
