Comments Thread For: Turki Alalshikh with message for Tim Tszyu and hits back at Canelo Alvarez

[garfios]

Both divas but Canelo is only running 168, Turki is trying to run the whole show.

As long as he pays and makes the right fights, I got no problem with it. He could be Madonna for all I care.

Let’s just cut to the chase. Tim Tszyu or his team didn’t do anything to insult your “Excellency”. He just wants the Bud vs the Vergil Ortiz fight to happen next.

GD I'm trying here with Turki. He has made some great events and has the capability unlike anyone else to give us fans what we want. Having said that this egotistical BS he keeps coming across like he's some dictator in our sport and the way he's treating these guys who give him a tiny bit of resistance as if he can declare by fiat he's going to ruin these boxers careers by declaring he is not working with them. That is not sitting well with me at all. This and having to sit through the Saudi national anthem even though there are no Saudi boxers fighting. This is all just so crazy.

He started off trying to make the best matches now since canelo snubbed him he's in protect Terrance Crawford mode mentioning Ortiz when Charlo, Spence, tyszu and fundora is an appropriate match.. **** this guy

That Turky comes across as a typical wealthy man. He don't know how to talk to people. i like his cards but he needs to learn how to relate to people correctly. Its hard for a man like him to do that when he has people who literally wipe his a-$$ after a ****.

You have no idea what Bud Crawford made on the back end. Stop Stan'ing.

I stand corrected....I assumed you knew. But hey, now you can say with all honesty that you now know.

You lucky dog, you must have loved Canelo/Charlo, Canelo/Mugiua, Fury /Derek Chisora III and as a treat, you've got Canelo vs Berlanga for only $80.00. But that's not all, you have Canelo verses the always dangerous Chris Eubank in the works...

to be fair to turki he is paying good cash, the people who dont want his cash are the people who dont want to fight the fights he wants them to fight, as in the fights most if not all fans want to see, he is weeding the duckers and marinators out and shining a light on them, of course u have these guys fangirls defending them and attacking turki because they are triggered by it all

Like our Regina.

Beterbiev is a career light heavyweight; he's been at that weight class his entire career. Canelo has fought at light heavy twice, and those were both largely stunts. It's clear that Canelo doesn't belong in the light heavyweight division. He's not a 175-lber. He started his career at 147 and slowly worked his way up, but his build and stature are not suited to the light heavyweight division. He is at least 3 inches shorter than Beterbiev, with a 3-inch shorter reach. Instead of insisting that Canelo move up to his FIFTH weight class, why don't you ask Beterbiev to take on a challenge and move up to his SECOND? The double standard is silly.



Another Chicken Little "the sky is falling." Oh heavens, boxing is dying. Please save us, we'll do whatever you ask! Ridiculous. Turki is a dictator. Canelo never turned him down...all Canelo said was that he didn't want to take about his next fight until after his current fight - WHICH IS A VERY COMMON, VERY REASONABLE POSITION TO TAKE, AS ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN AROUND THE SPORT FOR FIVE MINUTES WOULD KNOW - and Turki responded with an ultimatum and then a tantrum, blasting Canelo. And no one even knows why he blew up at Tszyu...perhaps he didn't email back quickly enough.

Those are hardly the actions of a smart, reasonable, strategic businessman. Pinning your hopes on someone as apparently arrogant and volatile as Turki would make boxing even more of a mess than it already is.



Sees through the bull****? That's no special quality. ANYONE WITH TWO EYES can see boxing's flaws and bull****. Turki is a fanboy who has limited knowledge of the sport and its business. Crawford vs. Benavidez at 160 lbs? Pressuring Jared Anderson to switch trainers and then seeing him immediately get KO'ed. LOL LOL Tell me you DKSAB without telling me.



No, he's a diva because he throws public tantrums and insults fighters the moment things don't go EXACTLY as he wants them to. All Canelo did was suggest that they wait to discuss the next fight for a few weeks and Turki flies off the handle.

Flying off the handle at a moment's notice over nothing...pronouncing himself the face of the sport...doing long-winded, poorly produced cards with few paying fans...insisting on making ridiculous matchups across multiple weight classes...This is just the tip of the iceberg. As more and more fighters witness how he does business, there will be many more joining Canelo, Tank, Tszyu and others in saying no thanks.

And canelo is an angel.

So a young champion in his prime, ortiz, is not good enough but a guy that lost the belt tszyu, the boy that won the title and was knocked out by the Aussie's victim, fundora, Spence that was massacred by bud on his last fight, and charlo, who has been out of boxing for a good part of 4 years with a sorry showing against ginger are better options. You are very good, a knowledgeable fan. God bless you.

Yea Turki is probably not a playa in Saudi like everyone thinks. He's probably the nephew of some Saudi Sultan that was a family fuq up and they gave him a fake made up position EMPORER OF FIST'TI CUFFS! He's definitely not important enough to participate in the monthly beheading meetings. Maybe occasionally they allow him to pick the rocks used for the 'stoning of the wives' festival in the town square!

I was wrong when I said that Turki was just an employee of the House Of Saud. He's actually a Prince and a member of the ruling family. I guess that explains why they refer to him as His Excellency. MBS still is the ruler of the roost though.
