Shut up Eddie and just admit Turkey-boy played the shyte out of you

It's just going to end up being another Alphabet Soup organization handing out titles. Unless they are going to pay everyone else to close up shop and go away and I don't see that happening.

Eddie is *****tiing bricks because Turki is not being honest here. He is trying to "fix boxing" by introducing a fifth belt and a completely new league? Does not make sense. That is not fixing anything, only adding more complexity and more confusion - unless this is a necessary first step (necessary evil) towards cleaning it up and deleting the four belts and existing promoters basically completely destroying the current system. Surely his agenda is obvious for all to see but he does not want everybody to get upset straight away. Promoters can see which way the wind is blowing and have started freaking out already. They are not stuuppid and can see their livelihoods are being threatened. Eddie used to be the favourite child but Turki is plotting his demise in plain sight.

You know what's funny is Dana White came out and said he's not working with any other promoters or sanc bodies and no one says a word. But over the last ten years all the PBC haters have been crying about is "PBC island" and "Al Haymon won't work with anyone" even though Al sends more fighters to other networks than the other companies. So why is it cool for TKO to not work with anyone but not PBC? Can anyone clue me in?

Slow Eddie and fisheyes have nothing to worry about
They can get the Brits to buy anything as shown by 60 000 tickets being sold for Benn vs Eubank
If they can pull off that , then they’ll be alright

But seriously this whole TKO venture might just be a blessing in disguise for us. First of all it';s going to kill off DAZN boxing in America and probably the UK as well. There will be a few fighters that join him but that's ok because fighters change promotional companies all the time. It looks like the two boxing platforms will be TKO on Netflix and possibly ESPN and PBC on Amazon prime. This will be great because if DAZN goes away I can see GBP making a deal with Amazon because Oscar surely will not go work under Dana White. Hopefully Top Rank will realize their only viable option is to join Amazon as well. If that happens then we will have PBC GBP and TR on one platform fighting for the WBC WBA and IBF belts and TKO on another platform fighting for the Hulk Hogan belt. I will be very happy if this happens

Yup they're going to be ok because this TKO league will probably be mostly in the US and Saudi. There are hundreds if not thousands of boxers in the UK that are still going to be doing shows. So they'll be ok!

Not only that but the British fans will suck up anything those two promoters say
It's always been that way going back to Slow Eddie’s old man
60 000 tickets for two nobodies in 30 minutes ( is what I read ) is insane no matter which way you wanna look at it

Your daddy Hearn is right. It really is about substance.

Back when you babies were boasting in 2015 about ****** al and pbc and his 200 fighters it really meant nothing when the public only knows about 10 people. That was the downfall (also spending millions of dollars like a dumbass) Turki and Dana can have the same amount of fighters but if nobody knows or cares they aren't tuning in
