Turki is a piece

[DClefthook]

Canelo has not sold out a fight since GGG3- Davis and Garcia was a disaster -Garcia and Haney a disaster and Crawford Spence a disaster

Davis vs Garcia disaster (1.4 mill ppv buys) .. Bud vs Spence disaster (750k ppv buys)........ Bud vs Madriv success (75k ppv buys)......OKKKKKK

Of?????

good. let's not have anymore these cards in U.S. have them in UK or Saudi so I can watch the card at a decent hour lol

I agree. Dazn and the shytehead Sultan should move their operation to Saudi forever....forever ever..forever ever...

[DClefthook]

This whole "Turd-ki is taking over" is just part two of the now defunct "American takeover" by Dazn. IT WILL FAIL! It doesn't matter how much you clowns and your favorite YTBC tries to convince these fighters to align with the Saudi dictator, this thing is going to come crashing down real soon. I don't care how much money the Saudi government is backing this thing with. They have accountants who will force them to pull the plug once they start seeing the money going out not matching the money coming in.The middle east have no vested interest in boxing. Only the US and UK does. The US boxing promoters are just going to use this clown for all his money to get their fighters paid, just like Hearn and Oscar did to the Russian guy. Once Turd-ki gets fed up and leaves it will be back to business as usual. American capitalsim = 1 ... Saudi ambition = 0

there are a couple of YTBC I can't wait to see fall flat on their face when the Prince of Pukeness takes his ball and goes home. They have built their channels on PBC/Haymon hate. Dyke riding Eddie Hearn and Turd-ki with the hopes that PBC went under. HAHA jokes on you bytch!!

Maybe it's a large amount, but it's pretty standard procedure for all events. Not everyone pays for tickets, it's who you know.

It just goes to show you that there is no substitute for a genuine star and there are so few true stars who can sell out a stadium in the USA or a mega stadium with 40k+. Recently? I’ve seen Canelo do it….I’ve seen Tank do it….I’ve seen Spence do it. Turki is going to have to work with Al Haymon if he wants Star power in the USA. Working with Hearn ain’t gonna cut it mate…

Not exactly, the truth is that all of Al Haymon's money fighters are either self promoted or have their own promoters. Al Haymon is a manager and if he can convince fighters that PBC in-house is less risk for equal money they'll continue to fight exclusively on the PBC/Amazon platform....... The PBC will remain the other side of the street, the same way it did when Al Haymon had a lock on Showtime and Fox.

I don’t get why people are happy about this.

Crawford is inarguably one of the 3 best p4p boxers in the sport. Him headlining a card that doesn’t sell isn’t good for the sport.

Inoue only fights in Japan. The Hwt titles aren’t being defended in the US. Bivol is an unknown. Canelo only fights low level bums now.

These are the 5 best men in the sport.

Like Turkish or not, the sport is not in the best place and if he can fix things, more power to him.

Exactly what I said and was called a hater. That card had 0 buzz and they were struggling hard to move seats just days before the event.

No wonder Turki was desperate to get Canelo to sign on to a fight on the spot. He wanted the idea of doing business with Canelo out there to promote his other events. Probably lost more than the $10 million he reportedly lost.
