This is bad news for Tim. I am not sure what he did to get Turki this angry. He will likely miss out on some big money fights.

"His ego takes him, let him do his way.”

Ironic much?? All truths aside, for all his faults the one thing people underrate about Uncle Al Haymon is the way he never misses an opportunity to stfu.

“Let him do his way, he doesn’t understand.”

If he beats Murtazaliev for the IBF strap, Crawford will eventually come looking for him.

Rule No. 1 in Business: NEVER piss off the person writing the checks.

Can Turki make a 154 Card event in Saudi. Make it Tournament.

Tszyu vs Murtazliev
Vergil vs Bohachuk
Fundora vs Spence/Crawford
Add Lubin, Ramos, Mendoz any Mix.

This is the thing though, of which Canelo & Tim both seem to be aware; yes, Alalshikh has the silliest money but this foo' is not the only person writing checks in boxing and has never written a check for either fighter iirc. Pretty damn sure Canelo's gonna evolve into a bit of a check-writer himself in decades to come so there's that too, in his instance.

Always remember that everything comes at a price, including money. Maybe Saul & Timmy have decided that the price of the Saudi money is too high for them, regardless of how inflated the purses may be right now.

The fact that Canelo isn’t bending to the guy everyone else is says something about him. Not everything is about money.

GD I'm trying here with Turki. He has made some great events and has the capability unlike anyone else to give us fans what we want. Having said that this egotistical BS he keeps coming across like he's some dictator in our sport and the way he's treating these guys who give him a tiny bit of resistance as if he can declare by fiat he's going to ruin these boxers careers by declaring he is not working with them. That is not sitting well with me at all. This and having to sit through the Saudi national anthem even though there are no Saudi boxers fighting. This is all just so crazy.
