Comments Thread For: Offer will be made for 'huge' Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua showdown

[Phase III]

Ok ignoring the Saudi regime for a second. This is what everyone has been begging for in boxing. The American mind can barely comprehend a $20 blockbuster PPV.

And a single league where good fights happen and there’s one consensus best? I never thought this would happen in my lifetime.

The only chance of this happening is the Saudi’s buying out at least 2 of the 4 sanctioning bodies and the WBC needs to be one of them.

As I said before, Turki wants to copy the UFC model. But, the problem is that under the current Riyhad Season limited time, Turki can’t satisfy the schedule that would be necessary for boxing. The sport has been around for well over 100 years and any thought of trying to monopolize boxing will backfire.

If PBC doesn’t cave like Matchroom, GBP, and Queensbury and sell out, Turki is living on fantasy island.

Even if Turki finds some takers, new en****** will get in the game. Also, boxing needs independent oversight not involving the corrupt ABC, which is a joke as far as looking after boxers is concerned.

Turki should focus on fights that make sense and eliminate Crawford and Shakur who. as they have said, “are in it for the bag.”

Abdolutely no chance of Turki getting what he wants. Money can’t buy you everything. I wish Turki would focus on fights that make sense and leave J. Miller and A.Ruiz out already.

Crawford vs Boots
V. Ortiz vs Tszyu
Shakur vs Zepeda
Zhang vs Bakole
Agit vs Parker
Benevidez vs Canelo
Inoue vs Junto
Ali Izmailov vs Whittker or vs Morrell
Sheeraz vs Janibek or Adames
Bohachuk vs Madrimov
A. Cruz vs K. Davis
Vargas vs Figueroa

Right there you have 3-4 individual Riyhad Season shows that will have boxing and non- boxing fans on the edge of their seats Turki.

Also Turki, since money is not a factor, put the fight for free on YouTube and watch how successful you will be with millions watching. Please no DAZN or ESPN+

[Phase III]

I take it that you didn’t even read the article. Alalshikh said it’s the fight that he wants to make next.

Whether either or both fighters win or lose. He believes it’s still a very marketable fight;

Especially among the British boxing fans.

I respect your point. But, Fury seems like he’s only in it for the money and if taken to deep waters, he drowns because his cardio is that bad because he’s not willing to put in the work like Usyk. Joshua is a very fragile and chiny fighter. There’s better fights available for Turki to put his money. British fans like losers so what the heck.

[Phase III]

I'm conflicted about Turki. While I absolutely love the vision he has for boxing especially the league where we do away with promoters who get in the way of fights, going to one champion per division (the idea of having co-best is ludicrous), and generally getting these guys together for fights, I don't like the whole "His Excellency" nonsense and fights being over there making it weird AF watching these main events when it's still daylight. That's just f***ing with the culture of what we're all used to big time. Get rid of the vibe we have to kiss the ring to the Saudi's the anthem and all that when there's not even a Saudi fighting etc but boxing wise the dude has a great plan.

Turki has the three stooges (Hearn, Warren, and S. Brown) guiding him and all three are in his pocket.

The idea of a Boxing league is nice but untenable. Turki should stick to a simple formula, these are the fights I’m willing to pay for and put the fights for free on YouTube and cut out the middle man and the Hearn, Warren, and S.Brown fat.

Pay a totally independent promoter to stage the event, get competent judges, and NEVER let the promoter pay the officials for their work, lodging, and meals. Judges who show obvious bias, get no future assignments.

The problem with boxing is Promoters, plain and simple have their hand in the outcome of fights which is why the sport is so corrupt. In what professional sport ( baseball, basketball, soccer, football, hockey, tennis) does the Promoter, Owner, GM, pay the judges? Only Boxing. And people wonder why the sport is so corrupt. People are sick of home cooking which is the case in too many fights where the Promoter is in bed with the judges. This is crazy!

Transparency is the only way to rid the sport of the corrupt cancer that has metastasized with unscrupulous sharks in the waters.

They should let them get through their next fights. I mean both Fury and AJ could lose or they could both win.


Has anyone even seen tyson lately? did he blow back up in weight? last time he had two training camps in a row and came in light. I am worried that is the best he could possibly be at his age, and next time he will come in fat

Last I saw he was drinking his feelings away. He posted a treadmill video a few weeks ago from the neck up. Face looked fat like he usually does between fights.

Call me a skeptic, but I do not think it matters if they both lose. It is still a fight that will sell. Regardless of what we think, I bet a Usyk-DuBois rematch for undisputed would be the co-main to Fury Joshua on a double header.

The powers that be want this, the man with the cash will finance it, Joshua has enough wins lately to sell it, and Fury's personality will market it all by itself. This fight happens no matter what happens with each of these guys win, lose, or freaking draw.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I think Usyk beats Fury again, even better and than Turki will likely not put some huge money behind Fury -Joshua.

I think Turki believes what he says now, but he has said many things already, fore example about making Canelo -Crawford and so on.

[champion4ever]

Yeah, whether win, lose or draw.....One way it's marketable to british fans, and one way it's marketable to the entire world.

hmmmm

Well you appear very cheerful about this matchup as always

[champion4ever]

Turki says that Fury can lose but AJ has to win.

You are right! My bad; I stand corrected! Thanks mate!
