    Benavidez rejects Jai/Zuffa offer

    “I don’t know why he went to Zuffa,” Benavidez said after his win over Ramirez. “I’m not gonna go over there and fight for a Zuffa title. Dana White hasn’t shown he wants to do fights with PBC or DAZN. But if we can come to an agreement and make a big fight, let’s do it.”

    No boxer who wants to be taken seriously should be fighting for that fumbduck Dana title

      Fat Dave is prioritizing Top Soviet Bivol

      these talks about an alternate fight is pointless until Top Soviet Bivol whoops that euroid later this month

      Buff Guy Jai becomes a realistic option should Top Soviet Bivol opt for Buff Guy Artur trilogy

            Not sure how credible The Ring is at this point.
            It's just Turki's marketing tool now.

              The ring and Zuffa are both joke belts owned by the desert turkey and tko who run WWE

              TURKEY CANNOT be allowed to buy boxing and it's history.

              Benevidez is right to dictate terms, he is the P4P star with the real belts with decades of history.

              Jai needs to throw that trash where it belongs.

                jai has only just gone to zuffa for his own reasons im sure as others have as well

                u think the ring belt is now lower than the wba wbo etc, some would disagree with u on that i think

                boxing is becoming more fragmented but they still have to work together, cash is still given to winners as well

                there has to be incentives for top guys to fight each other or else fights wont happen as one guy wont fancy the challenge and wont take the harder fights, will demand more cash etc

                it will take time for zuffa to find its place if it can, i hope its not a LIV golf v pga type of thing where they end up hating each other, sensible heads must make it work but maybe the boxing establishment is afraid of zuffa and what it means for them idk really not up to date on it really
