Zuffa Boxing is hoping they hit a jackpot with an unproven prospect that all of a sudden turns into a star :francis: :mjlol:

That's what they're hoping with that Callum dude who was a co main on the Crawford-Canelo card

The funny part about that is Walsh wasn't bad. Vargas wasn't bad. They were just in bad spot coming up after Martinez/Mbilli.

That's on Dana. You can't put a guy that's never been close to that type of stage next to the main event. It didn't make sense.

One thing he's going to learn about boxing fans is you can't feed them shyt and tell them it's sugar.

It’s going to be rough for Zuffa boxing the first few years.

The key to boxing is new talent. They gotta lock down all the top amateurs/Olympians when they turn pro while the older fighters age out, and then they gotta develop those guys at a high level like a Top Rank.

Concurrently, they’ll have to figure out how to put on shows the fans want to see until those guys become names.

this is where they will need to lock down some seasoned matchmakers along with some boxing ppl to make those shows work to be something...and leave Dana's carny/UFC leanings out of the shyt

top Rank hasn't developed anyone though in the sense that everyone leaves after they get that first title. The thing with Boxing is how do you build AND maintain A Superstar in a financially feasible manner.

:mjtf:
  • Riyadh in Times Square
  • Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson
  • Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis
  • Canelo Alvarez vs John Ryder
These are all moronic cards and they did very well? (Times Square not so much). Boxing fans are just as stupid as MMA fans, the only thing that separates them is they're protected by sanctioning bodies and the dexterity of a multi network sport?

Oh wait....not for much longer. Alishikh cutting out the sanctioning bodies in real time. :snoop:

Lord forbid any of your relationships end, but if they do may you move on from them the way Bob Arum moved to Moses Itauma after Jared Anderson
Any man that cries to a Hall-of-Fame champ on television that they don't want to be a boxer, they probably shouldn't be a boxer.

That's not even a knock, if it's affecting you that much then it's time to do something else.

That Payola lmfao. If the Sanctioning Bodies dont matter then how will they devise a Ranking?

Company whores for hire.

Network alliance/bias is nothing new, but Kellerman and co are going a step further, they're white/Saudi washing the new Zuffa/UFC/Ring/Paramount/Saudi deal by deliberately avoiding and discounting the adverse aspects, whilst simultaneously making up a range of bogus attributes. This is nothing more than corporate progaganda.

Max still shook to say the names of.thr sanctioning bodies because he knows if this expirment fails he doesn't want to be blackballed
