Dana White
Also not seeing how tf a WWE guy comes here.

yeah im very skeptical on this move...dana spent so much time bashing boxing and now he wants in and got turki to bankroll...and im no fan of nick khan either

Dana knew he couldn't get away with paying peanuts so he hooked up with Turki.

He tried the landscape locally and no one with a pulse budged on his terms.

We'll see

I always thought that's who Bud's style is closest to. Am I right???

Bud's style is closest to his long lost Uncle, Ezzard Charles

@Sbp

Just wanted to show some more love for The Marvelous One who we need to talk about more here. Him & Bud definitely have a lot of similarities; especially their jab (which is their table setter), IQ & work ethic:

The Maidana after Robert Garcia started training him, beats Tank

The one that beat Broner and gave Floyd his toughest fight… yes, most likely
Hard to pick Tank until he hasn’t even been to 147, we don’t know how the power would translate
Not sure about Mikey either, he hasn’t been so impressive above 135 but at 135 he looked great and he is the kind of matchup Tank could struggle with

Seems like a conflict of interest for Turki
Though he has enough money to have a promotional outfit and pay other promoters for Riyadh cards I guess. To me one of the best parts of Turki was he didn't have an incentive to prioritize one promoter over another. Can he maintain that after partnering with Dana

that's a really good point

ironically this venture might lead to some network actually picking it back up for regular TV

Not suprised Turki is bringing in Dana White.....this new boxing promotion is supposedly going to sign boxers too..All these promotions who been surviving off that Turki money gonna be hoed BADLY..no mention of that snake Eddie Hearn either.....He getting outsnaked

Them numbers they been doing with their Saudi events been tragic....they need to do something....can't be losing money forever.

They trying to turn boxing into UFC while the UFC is dying currently...gonna be interesting to see the next few years.

They can lol, the whole point is to wash the image of their country clean by hosting these big sport events, and alao try to make it a more attractive tourist destination

It’s more a long term strategic investment of their regime than a traditional business with the goal of making profit. It’s state level, Turki is literally one of MBS’ cronies…
Is it good for the sport? Recently and in the near future, sure, but don’t get things mixed up, making money on these events is just a “nice to have” for them, they’ll get bored of boxing long before their money would dry up.
