Turks Alalshikh and TKO Group are introducing a recent promotional league

Turks Alalshikh and TKO Group-Still Both UFC and WWE have posted their plan of a completely recent boxing “League” last week, easily the greatest history of the last seven days with the greatest potential and huge long-term influence.

It seemed inevitable to me. Mrugs were already there, they are all straightforward to see the obvious interest in Alalshikha’s boxing, as well as the Riyadh season with UFC and WWE at events quite regularly. Without this partnership, Alalshikh has already dramatically changed the boxing landscape, in Saudi Arabia and outside, and although the belief that sports washing is quite common – and times, quite obvious – for the base fan of boxing, which really holds. It was an improvement in almost the whole board.

The fans received fights that they wanted to see, because all this always boiled down to elementary economics, and the season Alalshikh and Riyadh have money to burn for fighting under the sun, the level of money, which promoters, such as Eddie Hearn, Bob Arum, Frank Warren and Oscar de Lo Hoya – plus anything you are legally it could not happen that PBC cards.

How long can it last? Long. Saudis have unfathomable money. They did not play the same boxing promoters, and the results were clear. Huge events, although largely at the dead arena of Riyadh, were normal at Alalshikh.

The partnership with TKO places both Dana White and the director of WWE Nick Khan directly to the boxing mixture. White has long been a beast about how he can completely fix boxing, but he never did it to do it, despite the statement that he was going to repeat, with the excuse that it was Too broken. Even To haveGenius could not really fix boxing, he finally summed up. There are several ways to look at it, and Patrick Stumber has already warned boxing fans who may not know the history of White about White’s history.

The feeling of premonition is that White is mainly as a figurehead, a guy who had a unique PR for many years, largely driven by his own desire to bet on the front and development of UFC. This is the name and face that many combat fans trust – the type of fans who do not publish on websites and constitute the expansive majority of the audience. He is trusted because the UFC has grown through the jump and borders during his term of office, for better or worse on the final product, and because he is blessed as someone who was successful much more than did not succeed. There are no boxing promoters who could match this role. None of them is trusted more than not.

I am not saying that Dana White will not have an lively role, but the end of the day will come to the decision and money of Turki Alalshikha. As for Nick Khan, he is an experienced, well -connected businessman who quickly scaled the corporate WWE ladder with very little public attention; Do not expect that he will interview youtube, but he will do his job, whatever there will be.

This may fail, and some believe that it is partly because they blessed various other great ideas that come and leave, or never approached the influence they decided to do, in particular PBC Haymon, who settled very quickly, because it is another boxing outfit from all normal.

I will emphasize that (1) Alalshikh already makes drastic changes in boxing I (2) have a level of money to invest in their idea that no one else in this sport has ever dreamed. It’s a recent game.

Here’s what some of our readers think:

White said he didn’t want to see a recent league mix from UFC and send MMA fighters to boxing and boxers to an octagon, so if you’re worried that this company gives more terrible boxing boxing vs MMA fighter, sounds! – Yes, they are not in their plans. And everything that is fair, Dana got me with this:

“You don’t have a single fight, and then there will be a podcast, and then another fight takes place 45 minutes later and you see four fights in six hours. All these things will change when we start running the program.”

For years, we all had this complaint about the boxing sender, and the latest show of the Riyadh season (Betterbiev vs Biscvol 2) has already presented Turks in this direction in terms of production, and it was incredibly welcome.

Netflix as a potential player in boxing

Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will meet again on Friday, July 11, guided by Netflix shipments of the most valuable promotional program with Madison Square Garden, the place of their first fight.

Taylor and Serrano simply remain the biggest struggle for each other and to be sincere, it would probably remain true, even if Taylor officially went to 3-0 against Serrano and wanted to do it for the fourth time. “

It is also said that Netflix is the house of what will officially be the first boxing show of Turki/TKO, which is to be the fight of Canelo vs Crawford in September. If Netflix becomes the official partner of this undertaking, it can absolutely crush the presence of Dazna in sport outside of smaller cards (which I don’t think many boxing fans have thrown tears), and also remember that Netflix has already paid a lot of money for being the home of ESPN, and that they are considered sturdy competitors of the UFC, and ESP.

In addition to virtually every other stream transmission television service, Netflix wants to invest in live sports (I know that WWE is not a sport, but in terms of television, how it is categorized, because as programming it works according to the same lines). Even if the grades fall or anything else, it basically remains the most valuable thing on television.

So that the Netflix subscription, which you had enough enough if you are a fan of combat sport.

More from this week:

• Riyadh season and ring – which is supposedly still a journalistic mouth, but, well, I watched this pressure and I just don’t think you could see it in this way – they had Kickoff pressure on the card on May 2 this week. We received quotes from Ryan Garcia, Rolly Romero, Devin Haney, Jose Ramirez, Theofimo Lopez and Arnold Barbozy Jr, but the real attraction was Theofimo and Ryan Garcia a bit to each other. This fight can be more attractive than running Garcia vs Haney this year, at least if both Ryan and Theofimo win in May.

• Gervonta “Tank” Davis had a kind of strange interpretation of how the results became what they were in his draw with Lamont Roach. Roach thinking is more connected with most people. Tank hopes to make a rematch soon, and even suggested that this could happen “the end of May”.

• Nayya Inoue Inoue now looks like Ramon Cardenas on May 4, ending this great boxing weekend on Sunday in Vegas, and then it will be Murodjon Akhmadaliev in September, as I expected that it will be so, and I am a genius and not only putting. The result and everything.

• The most noteworthy action on weekends Lauren Price completely dominated Natasha Jonas to unite three welterweight title belts. If you haven’t watched Lauren Price yet, she is a real offer. Nine are fighting and looks like a clear best welterweight weight in sport, and this is not a division in women’s boxing, which lacks talented fighters, including Jonas. The price has just outclassed her. I would like to see how Price went on the unquestioned winner of Mayer-Ryan 2, who should be established because they are fighting on March 29. Caroline Dubois survived the delayed scar against because Mi re shin to keep a delicate wbc belt on the undercard, as well as cars from Raven Chapman after a long release.

• The above -mentioned Amanda Serrano has signed a lifetime contract with the most valuable promotions, which is a neat press release to publish. I mean that if the company was to submit or Jake Paul loses interest in all this – more likely that the takeover of Turka will gain strength – then the contract will not mean anything. But again a nice press message and idea. I think they mean it and so on. All their recognition for them and her.

• Eddie Hearn says he didn’t care about the recent Turkiko project, but then Eddie Hearn says many things. This, of course, will change everything he has been doing for years, including the last pair in which he was basically attached to the hip of Alalshikha.

• Martin Bakole will still have his previously planned fight with Epe Ajagba, and it will become on May 3 on Undercard Canelo vs Scull. It was the bacon that began, before he came in very brief, completely nearby, and was knocked out by Joseph Parker at the end of last month. It’s nice that Bakole is still fighting because I don’t think his status is punished for losing in such a situation against a good warrior, but you do it quickly after this fight, is a good idea. Ajagba is not an elite, but it is also not a thicket.

• WBA in the near future does not intend to make Oilsandr Usyk fight nobody, which also means that Kubrat Pulev, 615, will actually have to defend this false WBA belt, which he won from Mahmoud Charra, and the bone ordered to face Fabio.
• He will remain in heavyweight: Johnny Fisher and David Allen will fight again on May 17, which is a terrible decision that Allen robbed the well -deserved win in December last year.

• Terri Harper will defend his delicate WBO title against Natalie Zimmerman on May 23, the main match card from the hometown of Doncaster. The program will also include Maxi Hughes vs Archie Pointed. Very nice for Harper to get to the main event on Eco-Power Stage (earlier Keepmoat Stage), Doncaster Rovers home, a club with whom I have closed the horns many times for years in FIFA matches.
