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

[fistandfury]

Oh oh this partnership cant be good for PBC... Turkis american takeover is real lol.

It doesn't matter to them, Amazon as just as powerful as your beloved savior, they aren't in it to take over boxing, they are running a big money business, and will continue to do so.

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???

There's a lot of speculation and assumption in your post. I'm not sure I've ever said a positive word about PBC in all of my posts since I've been here. You can search my messages if you like. First time someone has insinuated that I'm on their payroll.

I merely quoted Ol' Bob. His position back in 2020 was that big fights in the middle east were bad for the fans and he owed it is to keep them in the US and UK. You call his antics "evolution", I call them hypocrisy. Much like his comments on women's boxing...he's flip flipped his position on that depending on whether it was beneficial for him.

My post doesn't indicate my position on fights in the middle east. If you want to know, you can ask me or you can search my posts on the matter. I'm merely saying ol' Bob is a hypocrite and a slime ball. That seems to have bothered you and caused you to respond to my post. Are you on commission for Top Rank?

Some of you scabs have a weird fascination with Oscar

In this case, the truth is much easier to detect: I have confessed time and again that I can't stand the guy, as I've always considered him a fake.

If this means easier path to getting a legit negotiation opportunity (and not WBA trying to mastermind and failing) for an Inoue-MJ in December then good for me.

I lost a lot of interest after the idiocy he pulled in July but out of curiosity which company promotes Goodman? If not one of those involved then he can take a wait at the back of the line.

Wondering if Turki Alalshikh has ever seen certain pictures of Golden Boy's boss.

Maybe he also saw the chick he was with....

This is a little confusing. What is Turki bringing to the table here ? He doesn't have any fighters. Is he going to take some of the financial risk of promoting the fights in exchange for a piece of the profits ?
It isn't making sense to me. If both fighters have a promoter , what's this "extra" promoter for ? Someone please enlighten me.

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

Yeah where is PBC period? Heard something about a non-PPV Prime card with Caleb Plant headlining in the near future, but nothing official and zero on the schedule. What gives?

I thought they canned it because of some "injury" the opponent got. They seem to have zero money to be able to do more than 5 PPV events per year...they only had three so far with nothing on rest of July oi August.
