Bro, the 2 key figures I mentioned were Ginger and Tank, see below.

Yes, the rich Arab wants to make fights, I don't necessarily believe for all the right reasons, but the guy could have accepted Ginger's request to wait to negotiate till after his scrap with Berlanga. He didn't like that Ginger asked him to wait and reacted like an angry girl on social media.

hes putting up the money, Ginger wants to do his own thing. The A rab is better off without him...matter of fact, so is boxing if hes going to continue to fight cherries.

Ginger and Tank are not letting "his excellency" dictate terms, good for them!

As for cherry picking and his lil mijas getting butthurt. Well my original comment and reply had nothing to do with denying or defending anything.I simply stated that it was good that at least 2 key figures(Ginger and Tank) aren't kissing up to a megalomaniac. See my post below... I don't know how you could have twisted my words but I'm guessing that it's because you're either a Hater of all things Ginger and possibly Tank, or a Defender of all negative things said about Turki.

I dont get down with bulls.hit fights. I grew up watching 2 uncles win championships in boxing. I grew up watching the best generations fight for pride, to prove they are the best no matter who was next and money. The big names, or faces of boxing now act more like divas than men.

You a Jehova Witness bro? Just messing with you sir and my apologies if I may have offended anyone.

Won't argue with the rest of your post as you might be right and are entitled to your opinion. I just find it refreshing that at least 2 key figures of the boxing industry are showing to have some sort of dignity when dealing with what appears to be a megalomaniac.

That's cool bro, you're entitled to like what you like. Champs and Fights in the 80's were much different than today and fighters had less say on who they were to face. But believe it or not, money was always important. Some of those Great fighters who didn't prioritize the money aspect of the sport wound up broke with major health and physical problems without a pot to piss in. Which is a travesty because Puas Olivares is one of those great fighters that didn't choose to, or wasn't given a say in who he fought and for how much.

I grew up with an Olympian Boxer friend as well as a pro boxer friend who fought at the Great Western Forum and he would always tell me, "I fight and take punches to the face to try and feed my family". I was much too young to understand why he would say that as I had never looked at boxing from that perspective. He was a hard hitter and good but never achieved world status nor a major title

Yes, the big names of boxing nowadays act more like divas, but so do all athletes in every major sport. It's just the times we live in, but I respect every boxer that climbs up on that ring and takes punches to the head and body for my entertainment. I'm not doing it!
