    I mean, it sounds like this is bad for BoxingScene and ProBoxTV not necessarily the fans.

    That said, I'm not saying I like our promoters, but, I've seen the Dana show and the Warren show, the Duva, Hearn, De La, y'all know our boys ... and ladies. UFC events kind of suck. UFC management kind of sucks. UFC promotional material is forever stuck in the time when it was popular to spell extreme with an extra large X like this: X-treme

    I'd rather not have the frat bros lead. The UFC got all their **** from the WWE so Nick and the trickle down Vinny Mac promo style is no salvation from frat bro bull****. I'm not against it being part of the landscape but as it stands promotional companies have styles and I like the array. I always have. Chris Eubank might not be a GOAT champion but the mother ****ing Chris Eubank show is GOAT level entertainment brought to you by the likes of Hearn and Warren.

    I'm just saying, boxing has the gritty style, the class, the comical, the dramatic, cinematic, frat bros can join but I'd hate to see them take the lead from dudes like Warren.




    Then again, Canelo-Crawford on Netflix can't fail regardless of who or how and Turki's style has been pretty cool. I do like classical **** my dude.


    We'll see how she goes. I think Paulie's a bit more pessimistic than fans are because it's his business.

      Because Dana is more famous and has more of the gift of the gab than any boxing promoters since Don King, he and the UFC potentially bring brand value/crossover attention to the upstart promotion and Turki has bought into the "lets make a UFC equivalent for boxing" idea that lots of boxing fans have talked about for years, and has the money to make it happen.

        Just as long as Dana doesn't in trying to put attention more on UFC in some format during the boxing event, then I'm Okay with it. Obviously he's a greedy belly who realized if he got into boxing and partnered with the now cash king Turki, he could benefit his bank account as well. He's going where the money is at, even if he talked plenty of trash about boxing in the past. Typically flip flopper just to get paid. Anyways, again, as long as he doesn't do anything to sabotage the sport, I don't really mind. Just don't turn it into a circus event.

        The good thing is, I can't see it going full MAGA because most white dudes in America suck at boxing, so they don't do it. They get their a$$ses beat by latinos and blacks, thus you have less white dudes tuning in and rather watch UFC where they can actually win. This means, Dana has to cater to the **********. That'll be interesting to see...

            Sounds like whenever other cultures put themselves into a sport where America used to be good, they're no longer good.

            Now you know why the NFL would never branch internationally, lol (I know it's called National). Imagine Americans getting beat at their own sport because other countries stepped up their level at it. The riots after the games would be cray.

              The Great Turki?

              He literally spends blood money on frivolous things to rehabilitate the image of the despotic government he works for.

                i believe he is refuting your racist point about white people viewing tendencies

                if he is saying white americans also suck at mma, but they still attract much more of the white audience than boxing, then it's not race that is dictating the viewing tendencies.

                good job exposing that
