The WBC only posts revenue of $4 million a year


Maybe Turki should buy them

60% of it from Canelo sanctioning fees lol.

that's a really good point

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

yup, the Liv golf situation might be the blueprint they use for this
Early on incentivize current boxers to join them with huge paydays while slowly swallowing up the other promoters and getting their fighters anyway.
Watching how that LIV situation played out in retrospect a lot of boxing free agents will probably jump at the opportunity knowing that money talks eventually

Tank vs Maidana.

I can't favor Tank.

Hope Turki does some more stateside cards

For all the flaws of boxing, seeing ring girls, having swearing and sometimes late cards is helpful.

A little fukkery keeps boxing, boxing. You ain't acting a fool over there

Wardley finally moving up. Him knocking out Frazier-Clarke got him going places

As far as I know this year

- Haney, Ryan, Teofimo card in April is in Times Square, NY
- Inoue card in May is in Las Vegas
- Ryan vs Haney rematch in October
- Crawford vs Canelo card is in Las Vegas

There's definitely some similarities with their killer instinct but as far as their boxing styles, I'd say Bud is a little more Hagler than Leonard. Hagler doesn't get enough credit for his boxing ability & high IQ because he was a good puncher & could get you outta there

Respect your opinion but imo Bud is more SRL because of adaptability. Hagler really didn’t have game plans. He came to destroy each and every time. Great boxing skills but he only wanted to fight one way, fortunately he was one of the best to ever do it that way.

You must not have watched Hagler from the late 70's & the early 80's. You're referring to his style when he left his prime. He was an highly skilled boxer/puncher that knew how to slip counter & get guys out of there.

I also respect your opinion but I highly suggest you go back to the tape & watch some early Hagler bro

Hagler was first and foremost a skillful boxer-puncher. He could turn on the pressure when he needed to (Hagler, late rounds of the Mugabi fight), but he was a methodical boxer-puncher most of the time. He had a great jab and accuracy with his combos, and also has solid defensively due to good movement and parrying.

He fought in that manner in what I thought were his peak performances: Hamsho 1 and Sibson.

I thought the Hearns fight was one of the best examples of a guy switching it up from his usual style. He had to bring it to Tommy because Tommy was so hard to outbox at range, and because Tommy’s right hand was most deadly when he got distance and leverage on.
