    FYI, years ago, the late Cedric Kushner, was HBO’s go to promoter because he did as he was told by HBO. What was Cedric doing before he was HBO’s de facto House Promoter? Cleaning swimming pools.

    Just so you know, in Saudi, Camel racing is as big there as thoroughbred horse racing is in the states.

    Only a couple of years ago, the Saudi’s were using boys age 10-12 to be camel jockeys. But then, human rights advocates got involved and forced the Saudis to stop that practice.

    Today, the camels are ridden by a robot jockey who is controlled by someone in a car using a game controller to relay the moves to the robot.

    Also, Spencer Brown, the new face you’re seeing at these events, was Tyson Fury’s personal assistant. He saw the piles of money Hearn and Warren were bagging and used his connection with Fury to get into the money grab himself. Spencer Brown knows as much about boxing as a kindergarten student knows about quantum physics.

    Hearn is desperate to sign Crawford, telling him that he has the connection to Turkie, and if he wants the Canelo fight. Canelo will only agree if Crawford signs with him. This is the reason Hearn is telling Crawford, he has to be involved for Crawford to get the Canelo fight.

    Im telling you, once Turkie started throwing Saudi oil money around, the race was on for Hearn, Warren, and now Spencer Brown, and every low-life claiming himself a boxing expert, to become Turkie’s lap dog. I cannot begin to tell you the hate Hearn and Warren had for each other before. Now, they’re BFF’s knowing they had to play the we love and respect each other game in order to team up and pick Turkie’s pockets.

    Bob Arum has quickly abandoned his ***ish roots and he too got into the mix because, as I reported before, ESPN is not renewing TR contract when it expires. Instead, ESPN is going to work exclusively with Dana White and the UFC because they get much more money from advertisers than boxing.

    Turkie is rounding up TR and GBP because as you well know, money talks and BS walks. So even though there’s no love lost between ***s and Arabs, Uncle Bob knows where his rye bread is buttered.

    So far, Al Haymon, who’s no hypocrite like Hearn and Warren, has resisted going cold Turkey on Turkie because Al see’s a big opportunity knowing that the Saudi’s can only do but so many shows before the Saudi party crashes. Al’s from the streets, he’s a risk taker and no dummy. He will play the Turkie game on his terms knowing that when Turkie comes calling, he has Canelo and a stable of fighters the envy of Hearn and Warren, and will show them how to really pick Turlie’s pockets, without having to stoop down and become another Turkie lap dog like Hearn and Warren.
    Canelo is not signed to PBC
    Lmao

      Maybe you're right but believe or not, lot people think Bud can actually pull the upset off even with the weight difference, dont get me wrong,I would love the Benavidez fight as much as you and the next guy but I cant really say Canelo-Bud seems as much as interesting, we'll see how good TC performs tomorrow night first and foremost tho.
      Even if he knocks the guy out in the first round, the weight difference is serious. This is a guy that has campaigned 21 pounds below 168, one fight at 154 is not going to prepare him for the task ahead, canelo is not Julian Jackson when it comes to one punch KO, but he hit hard enough and Bud is not used to be hit by guys that large.

        Well apparently he spars with light heavyweight’s and + and can hold his own
        And the fact he was a wrestler makes his upper body very solid

          Much rather him put the money in for canelo to fight Benavidez... But Crawford is a fighter he likes so he's looking to give him the payday but I just don't like the fight for Crawford.. yeah he has skills and could probaly pick and poke and win a few rounds against canelo but I just can't see him being able to last in there the whole 12 rounds

            Angelo has a deal with PBC who represent him as his promoter in the Amazon deal. Haymon has many fight by fight deals with many of his fighters.

                You already know Turki's long-term goal is keeping it all under the same roof. It's already happening

                If Crawford fought Canelo on the heels of the Spence win, it'd have cleared 1 million buys easy. That's what the goal is this time around, hence, the Aug/Sep dates
                Canelo cannot clear 1M PPV unless he decides to fight an opponent the caliber of Benevidez. Crawfird is not in that league at all. Canelo’s PPV figures have been on a slide since he decided to take easier fights. His las 1M+ PPV was long ago against GGG. Fans aren’t buying what he’s trying to sell.

                  If Bud wins impressively, while riding high on the last win, I do think it gets over the 1 million mark

                  The streaming thing is a b****, but Spence-Crawford did 700k on the strength of Spence's popularity and it only being a superfight among us purists. The casuals would eat Canelo-Crawford right up with the biggest selling point being the best Mexican fighter vs the best African American fighter on a Mexican holiday weekend. Those are 2 of the biggest fanbases, especially, in the states. 2 p4p ATGs is the kind of promotion bars charge at the door for, and you and your buddies chip in for a watch party. I really do think it's that big of an event

                    You’re 100% correct. Boxing fans are well aware of Canelo objectives, h making the most $$$ fir fights he knows he’d will win. Benevidez, Morrell, or Bivol at 168 are not winnable fight so he’s looking to use Crawfird fir his name knowing he’s too big.

                    Canelo’s PPV numbers have taken a very big hit since GGG and fighting Crawford is only a money grab if Turkie is dumb enough to get suckered into that mismatch.

                      Canelo is FOS. He’s trying to hustle Turkie into paying him absurd money to fight Crawford. If Turkie is dumb enough to take Canelo’s bait, let him learn the hard way.

                      Canelo v Berlanga is a complete bust. Even Mexican’s and Porto Ricians aren’t buying that sheet.
