Turki couldn’t care less about Matchroom or any other promoter.

He’s overtly been using them to get wht he wants the entire time and I’m stunned they let it happen but I suppose money is money.

A clown promoter getting played by a clown fighter. How rich.

Hearn will obviously be disappointed, but he'll relish this rivalry with White. People pay attention to rivalries - he'll love it.

The idea that he'd take a principled stance against White or Turki is nonsense. He'll be working it for everything it's worth.

I still don't get what Zuffa is trying to achieve, but they do reignite the promoter wars since Hearn and Warren stopped being mortal enemies.

1. There is no rivalry & Edward knows it. Dana said it himself, he's fighting babies. Ed had options to match the deal & didn't. He can't compete.
2. Ed was used by Turki & payed well for it & probably will be in the future but Turki told Dana year's ago Ed, Warren are entitled to, difficult to work with & a big part of the problem.
3. Broadcasters, as a Brit I hope we get some paramount plus action. I'll never double pay wall a fight ever again.
4. Meh.
5. Of course they will if it makes both lots of money.
