This is a big F you to Hearns but I'm skeptical on how big of a signing it is. Does he really move the needle? I watched his last fight because of the spectacle of the rivalry.

Why not? It’s just Ring Magazine/Alishikh adding more heavy handed attractions to their new promotional boxing league?
They’re targeting a less discerning boxing crowd, who are more used to seeing carnage in a cage, rather than sweet science? Benn will be lined up with a bum, much like Opetaia.

Which isn’t a rivalry mind you, they’ve always been perfectly fine with each other lol. One of the most gassed up, useless promotions of recent times.

People gotta get comfortable with zuffa being around permanently. Especially when Dana has turki's bankroll behind him. It seems to me they're gonna buy up all the talent between Zuffa and Riyadh/ring. You'll have ring champions and zuffa champions. And fights between them will be promoted as "undisputed". Effectively rendering sanctioning bodies irrelevant.
All of this is turki's master plan. Dana is just a pawn. Turk brought in Dana for star building. To create storylines and drama. Which is what he excels at.
If this was just Dana I would be worried about pay. But since turki is the mastermind behind all of it I actually feel fighters will continue to get paid reasonably well. At least much better than UFC fighters. It's the fact that zuffa guys can fight on ring cards that changes everything. They're not locked into zuffa pay structures. And zuffa guys can fight knowing a potential mega fight on a ring card could be right around the corner. It's gonna be interesting the see how this all plays out. But I'm optimistic with turki being involved. As fight fans, I don't see how this won't end up with better fights being made.
