Lol are you on Boxing Scene's payroll?

You don't have enough posts to talk to me

Scoot

How many posts do we need to talk to you? Asking for a friend.

I'm not really talking about his title, which sounds as if he's royalty (he's not), it's the high praise he gets, that's over the top. Sure, he's put together some good fights, but it's because he's oil-rich and likes boxing. Not because he's some incredible being whose worthy of mountains of praise and near-worship. I say, give him a high-five, some dap, a fist-bump and keep it moving.

Hey! Not only is that the truth... I am 60 and I try to look the other way... but it is everywhere! The media wants people to emulate true failures... I think this situation stinks... I raised two boys to be uncomprimising in their ethics... And I see people like this functionary get praise for having money and throwing it around... No different looking at Musk who is an idiot and has the money to hire great people who he discards when he feels like it... Same shiat. And we hear about Prince Harry and Megan, two grifters telling people how to raise a family...

Last generation it was people like Buffet who IS SMART and worth listening too... But everytime I turn around to read email and see the media, you read about these people. They kiss this guy's Kiester because he is the financier... Its hard to watch for sure.

Wow Raskin can really spread it on thick
I got no problem with the boxing and thought it was a pretty damn good card
Where I do have a problem is the time consuming bullchit in between fights with nothing more than gibberish , nothing of note , really no learning
Wish they would force fighters to enter the ring in the next 30 minutes max after the previous fight
But never to much boxing when the card is packed with 50/50 fights which I thought most fights were
You can say that with Bakole and El Rayo coming up with W’s as underdogs
Take into consideration another underdog Miller , should of gotten the nod as goes without say Hot Rod should of been in the W column also

Nah you gots it all wrong... You just need flashcards to let people know whats comin see? So when the media is gettin ready to fawn over some moneyed sheik? Show a card with a nice big a r s e, replete with some brown ooze and bubbles comin out... with a giant red tongue. When Nick Jagger or M&M are comin up? show an old corpse with a few v i a g ra on the side... And when they decide to become real nationalistic? and sing every national anthem? Have a pic with a buncha brown shirts, blood splattered and laughing.

Then people know when to go to the bathroom and all...

I hear ya...but, like I said, my discomfort was not limited to the use of the honorific. In any event, considering that the fella declares himself the "face of boxing," I'm less inclined to chalk this up to mere cultural differences (though I appreciate that those differences do play a role here).

This is neither here nor there, but "General Entertainment Authority" seems like its straight out of Borat. Turki should call is next card, "His Excellency Turki Al-Sheikh's Exchange of Fisticuffs With Glove Covering on Hands Program for Entertaining of Make Riches, by His Excellency Turki Al-Shekh."

I hate the Saudi culture. The suck up is not a cultural thing it is a "class" thing. People who have means are treated a certain way. It is not right, it is the way of the world. Watching it makes one cringe...

You can see that when they were putting this together, nobody wanted to tell this functionary that he made a mistake calculating fight fan's desires... so when he suggested things like a rap concert after a zillion fights, all the yes men did what the media did... "Oh your excellency, such brilliance!" The last guy who did not do that was fed to the guy's pet Leopard.

Wow, you're old! Actually, I got you beat by a few years . Only the shallow, shameless opportunists are willing to whore themselves and their principles for a buck or a position. Let them kiss ass for a living, I work for mine.

He'd have gotten further if he came correct or if it was even worth responding to

Make sure you tell all your friends
