The thing that really fukks me up about this is in his the speech he gave earlier that day, he talked about unity and everybody coming together as one.
And this happens for no reason at all.

Larry Holmes is just an underrated legend. Top 5 Heavyweight of all time easily. He said he was knocked out cold and the his head hitting the canvas is the only reason he woke up
Earnie Shavers was so close to being a World champion that night. Unfortunate he fought in the legendary 1970s Heavyweight era. That's why I can't put Usyk on any all time Heavyweight lists. Not sure he makes it out the 1970s
foolish
If what Mannix said about this is true, this shyt is gonna bomb.
Apparently the idea is they've signed or will sign a bunch of mid level guys and try to turn them into stars. Basically a rack of Mario Barrios and Jose Benavidez types and make them household names.
The problem with that is we know who these cats are even if the general public doesn't know.

I pretty much said the same thing because I didn't pick. I started listing off the names like you did.
some of them have been mentioned being tied to zuffa boxing. i dont mind mid level guys getting burn because they need a platform..im just incredulous paramount got rid of pbc for this

That's why I say it's going to bomb. Props to fighters getting their names out there but if I they ain't shyt, how long do you think they can fool the general public before they realize they ain't shyt.

Zuffa Boxing is hoping they hit a jackpot with an unproven prospect that all of a sudden turns into a star 
That's what they're hoping with that Callum dude who was a co main on the Crawford-Canelo card
