It's too soon, he's hasn't retired yet

But by the looks of it, he's got a good resume, no failed drug tests, mostly non-controversial decisions..

I'd say he's on a good path

"Gawk gawk gawk gawk gawk please come pump your money into our state"

That induction was extremely cringe worthy and embarrassing to watch. I honestly think Turki Alalshikh is going to make some great fights happen, but we all know it's because he's willing to pump the dollars out.

I think he's good for boxing, but to add him to the NBHOF when has hasn't even done an event in Nevada is comical. This shows how much the money rules the 'sport' and how desperate and corrupt all of these sanctioning bodies/organizations are.

Fvkking Pigs.

Has he even done a show in Vegas yet?

Why doesn't "His Excellency" just buy the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF belts and declare himself All-Weight Champeen of Da Woild (Brooklyn accent).
Doing laundry now. My Maytag doesn't have a Sportswash setting, unfortunately.

He has put together many fights in such a short period of time and brought many promoters that were enemies together. I don't think he should be in as it is too soon, but if he sustains this for a longer period of time, he deserves to be in.

Whatever his true motivation, Turki is creating a communion of interest in the boxing environment, something that Mendoza, Sulaiman and friends never did (and let's not even mention Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo).

Halls of Fame are ridiculous to begin with, if you ask me.

From a nobody in the boxing world 2 years ago to the most powerful person now - money>>power>>fame

Lol pretty sure that's the plan.

Well, without Turki; the huge amount of money he seems to have access to, and his passion for the sport, most of these big fights and stacked cards wouldn't happen.

I would like for him not give predictions of who he thinks wins as he does before the fights. I don't want the officials influenced, not that he does in any intentional way.
