Hearns reaction when Bellew and Usyk was coming up, when he was asked about the fight, seemed sad he was forced to put his friend (Bellew) in against Usyk. It's obvious he's a promoter and Bellew is his fighter but the man was his friend in some regards, and you could tell he was being forced to throw him to the wolves. The terms of the fight took ten minutes to agree upon, also. Bellew was forced into this position by the powers that be! But I guess that's the way it is, when you play superstar on the silver screen.

The illuminati. They even have people on this site spreading propaganda, fishing around for fan interest in fights, pushing race debates, creating divisions, making excuses for corruption.

And you're as guilty of this as any other poster here

Boxing would be better off if someone had control like UFC controls MMA. But boxing is fractured, too many players with their own little slice of the pie. The only losers are the fans. I pity the fools that buy PPVs or subscribe to these streaming services or subscription channels. Don't give this god forsaken sport a dime of your money.

It's like asking "Who controls crime?".

No-one does. Plenty build empires. There's a loose structure with constant power shifts.

The big promoters.

When a sanctioning body doesn't go along with them they will start favoring a different one.

They also try to control the media narrative by granting or withholding access to the fighters. Based on which media people play ball with them or not.

And they aren't above bribing officials as we've seen Bob Arum get busted for.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "Illuminati" has certain of their agents in the sport as these tactics are right up their alley.
