He's not wrong.
The entire sport has to evolve from the top down. 1 title & 1 promoter just like the ufc.

This is a case where one boss does not run boxing and fighters are signed with a bunch of self serving promoters , its a totally different model than the UFC and because boxing is so old and was always this way there is no way it can be changed to keep everybody happy, its like saying we want world peace, easy to say impossible to implement while there are so many leaders/promotors whom all want the best deal for them.

To be realistic boxing league is no fun.. boxing got lots of people making a fortune on the roster ..one league ,one belt ,one champion will mess it up with no much pay for the fighters ....Do you think people like to be hit in the head ,face or ribs?no!! They all doing it to feed their family that's why you never see anyone from a very wealthy family choose boxing...imagine getting hit in the head for years with no title or title fight or any leverage for maximum pay because of one big boss dictator with the way white run UFC.


Imagine what happens to promoters as well and all the TV people...


All you got to do now is to fix the criticisms.... credible ranking,,, credible judges,,,good referee and all...

Dana & Turki, sittin' in a tree...

He can do whatever he wants that Turkey Cringe guy , but one thing he will never do and that is make UFC exiting or a money sport. Sorry to say but I would swap UFC out with documentaries about how to learn the Chinese language. Boxing is a man's sport and UFC is like Sylvester Stallone says "grown-ups rolling around in their underwear" :-) :-) :-)

There have been quite a few champion boxers that didnt need to box, they boxed because they loved the sport, recently Barrera had a law degree Marquez an accounts degree, Lewis and Ali came from middle class, I think Juan Diaz was also a lawyer, but yeah there has been a lot that didnt have to box because they were poor.

the saudis are probably thinking that they could "buyout" the popular sports from US and EU to have some assets after the oil business will shrink down but they're just burning big cash because the big cartels of sports would just act like a vacuum of those big oil money and then move on...

This is the kind of thinking that makes certain human being susceptible to cult manipulation
