Does naive sucker Hearn still want to compete with Dana?
With Turki*
No way Conor would've stabbed Eddie in the back for Dana.
Turki is pulling all the strings here - and no doubt they will all stab people in the back for a piece of that. Eddie too tbf.
We are in for a hell of a ride. My guess is if the sanctioning bodies and all big time promoters partner up and go against Turki we will have some rough times and boxing will become really fragemented. If Turki stays in Boxing and backs Zuffa they will eventually win. This will at first look good for some fans but at the end it will show his truth like every real MMA fan the boxing fans and fighters will turn against them and would wish they would never have embraced them. In MMA the best are not fighting the best and in the UFC neither i can give plenty examples of it and in the last years the UFC probably became worse than boxing.
And the pay oh lets not start. Uisma Lima earned around the same money fighting Boots as Ngannou after he won the heavyweight belt and defended it as Main Event in a filled out arena on PPV. You decide what better max. 3 percent to sanctoining bodies or 90 percent to the UFC. Zuffa will adopt the same scheme once they control everything.
