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

[garfios]

I am all for great match ups and I am grateful for all he has done. I have been watching more boxing this year than in the last 2 to 3 years ( and I have been a boxing fan for 55 years). I am not complaining. Just noticing that Turki is becoming a bit of a diva.

What do you expect? It is a diva world, and he is going after the biggest of them all.

This diva running boxing will end badly.

canelo running boxing is killing it.

lol at these boxing fans now mad at dude because he’s trying to force the hand of fighters to actually fight potentially competitive fights. Canelo and his fans can eat a diq while we are at it. The rest of us are tired of the glorified sparring sessions. Ffs the supposed face of boxing is fighting Berlanga..

Nothing competitive will come out of Crawford/canelo even bomac is starting to state it, the weight difference will be to much for Crawford… I for damn sure ain’t defend canelo/berlanga but Turki is coming off as a scorn lover the moment he face a little resistance from a fighter which in turn will turn a lot of fighters away from working with him eventually

I thought the same thing, but he does want the best fights to Advertise Riyadh Season and bring tourists to Riyadh.

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.

Turki is used to giving orders , not working with people. He has to learn that Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship , but the rest of the world is not going to have it. The ass kissing has gone to his head and now he thinks that he runs the sport after financing a few cards. Meanwhile, promoters and boxers are playing him like a rich drunk tourist at the poker table. The day that he pisses off MBS ,Turki will disappear. He's not "the man" like he thinks he is , he just works for " the man".

Sounds like dictatorship too me!

As long as he makes fights we want to see it's all it matter, unless you want mismatches like Canelo vs Berlanga on PPV. He can't be a dictator if he is paying them what they want and are happy with the pay. Even if they lose he brings them back. Wilder, Big China man, Miller all came back to his card after loses.

U sound like a dammmmmmmmmm fool too!

its either his way or the turki highway

Absolutely and he hasn't been around long enough to know the history of what's to come! It goes to show most people are sale outs!

[Smash]

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
