Comments Thread For: Editor?s Letter: Can Zuffa really take over boxing?

[Nash out]

Boxers Zuffa need to sign to reign. Contract voided at retirement or refusal to fight 2x per year.

Deontay Wilder - 10 year contract
Tyson Fury - 13 Year Contract
Derek Chisora - 5 Year contract
Oleksandr Usyk - 12 Year Contract
Floyd Mayweather - 5 Year Contract
Manny Pacquiao - 5 Year Contract
Canelo - 7 year contract
Golovkin 2 year contract
Jake Paul Life time, including after life, contract
Bam Rodriguez 15 year contract
Inoue 10 year contract
Fabio Wardley 10 year contract
Dubois - 10 year contract
Anthony Joshua 11 year contract
Dave Allen 5 year contract
Ennis - 10 year contract
Ortiz - 10 year contract
Spence - 5 year contract
Benavidez - 10 year contract
Benn - signed
Eubank Jr 6 year contract
Stevenson - 12 year contract

Start with these as these are the guys people know, re-prime the ones that need it, and keep them going as long as possible. Sign the best 100 unknowns around the world, on the streets, hidden talent, build them on undercards, and sign other proven talent when they build up fanbase with the likes of Eddie Hearn, and take him away.

Doesn’t look to be the case since USA boxing just pulled its support and the straight of Hormuz being closed means Saudi money isn’t flowing so they can get their $2.87T annual purchasing power in place. Interestingly enough the annual
purchasing power of foundational black America is $2T….and isn’t based on petrochemical revenue only. There is definitely a shift going on again in boxing and there is a reason you’re seeing PBC storm back onto the scene with shows that actually seem to turn a profit in the USA..

Give it 5 years.

Personally iI hope they do, I have always enjoyed the UFC & until recent times I was always boxing first. Until I realised the UFC product was better. Ppv numbers over recent year's prove it also, especially as Canelo had to sit & watch the BMF fight because he couldnt compete.

Imagine the sport of boxing not having Oscar or Edward or Old Bob & fish eye's blocking fights with they're contracts, clauses & dusputes making it all about them. The best fighting the best how it used to be.

White at this presser is embarrassing.

The unfortunate thing is, I can see Americans buying it.

“Saudi Arabia is experiencing significant financial strain, with its sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), reporting a 60% drop in net profit for 2024 due to high investment costs, inflation, and impairments
. Due to massive spending on "Vision 2030" projects, the PIF's cash reserves dropped from over $105 billion in 2022 to roughly $37 billion by late 2023. The country is facing a potential $67 billion+ budget deficit in 2025 due to low oil prices and high spending, leading to increased borrowing“…
and that was last year. Imagine how much worse it will be if they at unable to sell their product due to a prolonged war. They were already borrowing to stay afloat
