one thing UFC gets right. they don't allow entourages at the weigh-in's. they don't allow every jackass with a suit into the ring before every fight. it's safer, more dramatic, and makes broadcast not take forever. they had like 45 minutes between every fight on ggg show.

You are absolutely right, boxing need to do away with entourages at all these events. I saw the ESPN/Top rank event between Crawford and Khan, and it was like the UFC. Maybe it’s because they knew Crawford and his families were a bit too ****** too and they have done something similar to another boxer or something like that.

But they only had Bud and Khan weighing in, zero entourage, just the announcer and the ring card girl and the mic.

All that “Lions in the camp” s hit or whatever their entourages comes out with shouldn’t be anywhere around the stage.

I remember when PBC First start they got rid of he Entourage for all the fighters and fans COMPLAINED so once again Boxing Fans Showing their Fickleness. A lot of us don't know WTF we want from this sport and it seems to change for a lot of people on a daily Basis

Only The Fighter and his Trainer needs to be on stage at the weigh ins as well as in the ring before the fight starts. Don't need all these extra people running their mouths as if they can actually fight themselves

Just ban the entourages. What other sport would allow it?

But then, boxing isn't a sport. It should be, but proves time and time again that it isn't.

It’s like any business if you bring these type to where you work and they start fights with other co-workers or customers you gonna get FIRED!!! But then again I’m classy and know how to separate business from family/pleasure.

I took a chick one time to an office party and she got soo drunk she embarrassed the sht out of me. I never let that sht happen again. Lucky everyone knows me so didn’t judge me but around the same time of year I get messed with! All good I deserve it.

Shields and the promoter needs to be heavily punished.

When they know they are responsible for the people in their entourage then they might start not allowing these thugs to be apart of them.

Shields will be fine and will go
Onto be the best female fighter of all time!

Showtime should’ve had better security, that’s a fail on their part!

I expect Ali to sue Showtime for the lack of security of the promoter when he gains back his health!

Shields should
Focus on Brækhus who’s riped for the taking!

I kinda agree with this, I think it’s only when they are directly punished, that they would take matters into their own hands. They need to be held responsible for this. Because it came from their side.

If this fight was in Croatia and that had happened then Habazin and her team would be held responsible and to be honest Team shields would be on the first flight out of there.
