NEWSFLASH: every promo company will only do cross promotional business when it suits them. Whether refusing to send a fighter with 3 belts (Spence) across the street to the fighter with one belt (Bud) or ....allowing a fighter with no belts (Victol Postol) to cross the street to fight a fighter with two belts (Jose Ramirez) in hopes of bringing the belts back home. They all do it. Bob Arum and Don King started the "side of the street business" and now Oscar, Al, Eddie and Frank are just carrying on the tradition

The Bobfather and King started that , really ???

Nice try

My friend, I asked Chat GPT if it agreed with me that Dana White's "league" has a 1% chance of taking over boxing, here is what she spit out, her words, not mine!

Conclusion: A 1% Chance


Given the glaring financial disparity, the entrenched power of established promoters and networks, and the deep cultural and structural differences between boxing and MMA, I would also estimate that Dana White’s new boxing league has a 1% chance of making a meaningful, lasting impact in terms of completely disrupting the boxing industry. The math, as you pointed out, doesn’t add up.

White would need to overcome an immense amount of resistance from established players in the sport, and even with significant financial backing from Saudi Arabia, it’s hard to see how the new league can offer enough incentives to replace the current system without major pushback from both fighters and promoters.

While there is certainly potential for a new league to carve out a niche or attract a portion of the talent, taking over boxing and forcing the current power players to change how they do business would require far more than just money—it would need to be a cultural, promotional, and structural revolution that aligns with the interests of fighters, promoters, and fans alike. And at this point, that doesn’t seem likely.

Wow! The part in bold print is the number one reason why it will fail. DEEP CULTURAL AND STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MMA AND BOXING! It's exactly what I've been saying but I just like to say it by actually stating what the DEEP CULTURAL DIFFERENCES are. But I'm race baiting right? Haha. No that's some good shyte tho for real!

I'm going to give you a homework assignment that I want completed tonight and on my desk first thing in the morning. I want you to google DON KING VS BOB ARUM COLD WAR. It will tell you the story of boxings two powerhouse promoters from the 70s-90s who had a long standing rivalry marked by competition for fighters, television deals, fight dates and even legal battles. The media nicknamed it "The cold war" because it mimicked the real cold war of the 1980s between Russia and America, metaphorically speaking of course. You see, unlike 90% of boxingscene readers, I actually lived through this time and don't need to encyclopedia to explain to me what happened. I know all to well. Just read up on the war between the two to keep Julio Ceasar Chavez on their respective side of the street because they knew how valuable he was. Same with Mike Tyson, Sweet Pea Whitaker and De la Hoya. This has been going on for a looonnggg time my friend. If you're going to argue with me about Boxing, Basketball, football and baseball you better come with facts son
