Fast Eddie be one of those guys who talks tough at a distance, tough in a crowd and tough on the internet.

Eddie mad that Canelo left him for Riyadh season and turki doing zuffa boxing now. Paramount is light years bigger than DZN has more money they actually make money and has a huge U.S. presence. Matchroom is basically done. They have no stars. Eddie’s top guy is Conor benn. AJ is basically done maybe one more fight.Go to the matchroom site and look at their stable of fighters. His top fighters only fight for Riyadh when the turki money goes they will sign with zuffa. Eddie is literally one of the worst promoters in boxing that I’ve ever seen. Even don king made better fights

Paramount had to take a hit paying so much to South Park for shiety tri-weekly episodes and 6 episode seasons. Don't know their wiggle room or budget

Don King was the original Zuffa...Don was the reason for creating the Muhammad Ali Reform Act in 2000...but sure. F%$K it, why not just toss out the Ali Act with Bureau of Consumer Protection and make unfair, deceptive and fraudulent business practices legal again. Oh, and please, please, please de-fund the Affordable Care Act and give it to Argentina because Americans don't need no stinking health protection and show the world just how hollow the "America First" slogan really is.

You do understand most boxers don’t make enough to just box right? I’m not a huge Dana white guy but his model is better than the current pay structure for boxing.

The current system doesn't work for everyone because the Ali Act has no teeth and the sanctioning bodies are corrupt. The UFC makes hundreds of millions of dollars but only for one man because that one man is king with absolute power. Sure some of the middle talent make upper middle class money but they are subject to the whims of one man be he sinner or saint.

The PBC started with a good idea with a separate party that signed the network deal and promoters promoted but that model also had flaws. The party with the network deal also controlled every fighter and forced mediocre match-ups in order to extend the managers financial aspirations. I don't blame the fighters, promoters or managers for trying to beat the system and I'm not Gorden Gecko preaching "Greed is good", but I acknowledge that greed is real, consistent and destructive without guard rails. I blame the WBC,WBA,WBO and IBF for not protecting the system and Congress for watering down an Act was meant to prevent the exploitation of others and the excesses of human greed and corruption.

In the end, I'm not optimistic, I expect the Ali Act to be dismantled along with every guard rail in America that gets in the way of further consolidation of money and power.

I agree with you. Promoters are exploiting fighters AND fans.

Two CLOWNS the sport does not need.

Monopolizing the sport will be it’s final descent
Can hardly wait for all the posters who are siding with this bullchit to be the first ones complaining about the aftermath
Just remember who you are
