    Irony at it’s best

    I’ll believe it when he’s in the ring ready to go cause 68 days is quite a turnaround

      Serhii legitimately beat the shet out of Virgil last fight and Virgil’s team asking Madrimov to turnaround in 8 weeks after Serhii fight in December? This screams, I don’t want anyone fresh from Virgil..

        Hard not to look at the facts here. This is what it is.

          Or more likely to scream ; I’ll take that money Turki from Madrimov’s team

Folks love to trash them for their own reasons yet we are getting good stacked cards while pbc, tr, even golden boy give us 5 very little cache fights with a main card featuring their stars against no hopers. Who is tank fighting? Oh that’s right…still refusing to fight anyone who would give him that work.
            As someone who legit feels the Saudi government is not great.... I cannot argue with anything you just typed. I wish I could, but I wanted Beterbiev fighting Bivol for 4 years... the Saudi collective made it happen. Usyk against Fury? Made it happen. That 5 against 5 tournament? OK, it was better on paper than it turned out in real life, but who else could have made it happen? No one would even have come up with idea, much less really get all those names in the ring. It was still a legit thing even after losing Beterbiev-Bivol as a headliner. That is just 3 examples. Every card they put on was good. Every. One.

            This is the same thing with the LIV golf experience. Those of us that follow that sport really, REALLY wanted it to blow up and fail. Instead, it is an original, profitable, fun way to package the sport that the PGA never would have had the guts to play around with and I follow with a smile on my face now. Facts are facts: Every boxing fan needs to say thank-you to the Prince, politics be damned.

                I'm telling you, they're dirty how they do business.
                I'm not a fan of Turki, but from the looks of things, he's trying to seriously make big/exciting fights happen. He's not a promoter trying to have his fighters only fight each other. He's got plan A,B,C, and D lined up just in case plan A falls through.

                He obviously has the money to make fights happen and although I still don't like that boxer's kiss his arse and Turki enjoys it, I am beginning to appreciate him more for not letting good fights fall through the cracks.

                  I doubt that fight even happens.

                    Its shame. I liked the Ortiz-Zayas scrap but its also true the boricua fighter is the less experienced of the proposed options, I liked the kids classy response too, he knows theres no rush ,his time will eventually come.

                    And the whole Madrimov deal is just their team wanting all that saudi oil money they can get baby. Cant blame them but huge mistake if they overlooking Bohachuk.

                      You guys are unbelievable. Sergio beat the shet out of Virgil, that in itself is comical. The hate is pitiful and it clearly can’t be about the fighting becos the kid has and is showing the ability to fight anyone while most other fighters are posturing. Boots was the one who backed out of a great fight, Madrimov stepped in and pretty sure he’s getting paid handsomely and most will argue he is a better matchup than Boots, so what exactly is the moaning about.
