    I wouldn’t bet on that if Dana has something to say to that
    Yes I read that before you posted it
    My true worry about that is when and how much will Turki flex his power in all the wrong ways ???
    Just sayin’

      It's very possible. But I have a feeling he just wants to streamline boxing. Another article I read was he wants to eliminate the boxing orgs too.

          I know that ESPN cannot wait to say good riddance to TopRank. The network has lost millions in viewers, sponsorships and revenue broadcasting their fights.

          One is because they have a very weak roster of fighters and two the shows are pushed back so far into the late evenings and early mornings when no one is watching.

            You are right. Also, boxing has lost a huge chunk of its audience to the UFC and to the MMA in general. Which is one of the reasons why they have taken all boxing off of television.

              If this happens Loma will have another excuse for ducking Tank.

              Make the Tank v Loma fight then sign with DAZN Bob so Shakur can end Loma’s career.

                  ESPN shows like poker and e sports and all kinds of garbage. Boxing hasn't cost them viewers.

                      So that's why they have decided to not renew their deal with them? Trust me, if they were actually making real money off them. Do you still think they would have ended their contractual obligations with them?
