Basically we are going from four sanctioning bodies to five. This one in total control over fighters fighting under its au****es. Honestly , I don't like it and I don't think that too many fighters will either.

Where are all the Haymon haters??? Where is everyone telling the PBC guys to leave Haymon a.k.a. Black Hytt-Lher???

Dana White said the boxing market is twice as big as the UFC market...translation: boxing is all of America and UFC is suburban white

Lets break down some of these quates from White-Turki:
" there's over 150 guys we're looking to sign"
Translation: there are 150 guys that work 2nd shift at the Amazon warehouse that used to fight when they were little

"purse structure and the intended reliance on company rankings"
Translation: Turki will rank the Ring Mag fighters which will definitely be separate from TKO rankings wink wink

"Ring magazine will keep its legacy of over 103 years:
Translation: we now know that the Ring Mag hasn't been relevant for about 40 years now

"commit to a 3 year term and must stay on board for 2 years"
Translation: We have you legally under contract for 3 years but if you suck we can just drop you after 2 years. Conversely, if you are really good after you first few fights we will hold you hostage for all 3 years and try to lock you in for more just like we do our UFC fighters

"ability to crack the top 10 of the company"
Translation: we will fool around with your ranking if you're good and will keep you in the 5 to 10 range (for 50,000$) for as long as possible

"TKO will work feverishly to promote their stable and their backstories"
Translation: we will promote east Euro and 'rural' American boys and try to fool you into believing they are the greatest boxers ever

"No AG has ever brought a case for the Ali Act"...."not interested in working with sanctioning bodies"....."admits that distributing his own belts will violate the Ali Act" .... "I'm going to live in my own little bubble and do my own thing"
NOW THIS IS THE BIG ONE .....
Translation: There is a reason why Dana White was standing behind Don-hald Thu-pmh on his victorious election night. He's needs him to sign an executive order to suspend the Ali Act because he knows overturning the law isn't going to happen. There are 218 (repubs) and 213 (dems) and it needs a majority to pass in the house and it won't. Even if it did it will never ever pass the senate which has 53 repubs and 47 dems. You need a 60 vote filibuster proof majority to push it though and that's not happening. So even if Dana White got him to push an executive order through it will be wiped out during the next administration in 3 years and the lawsuits against Dana White are going to be in the trillions!
