By Frank Bay: The former MOPS Paulie Malignaggi was recently critical of Turk Alalshikh and Dana White in his podcast Paulie TV. Paulie is a good watch because it is witty, at the same time understands the internal functioning of boxing.
It seems to be real and allows you to know that he doesn’t like Dany White. He claims that there may be prejudice against the dish and Turks because he works for the Pro Box TV. Paulie announced that his Pro Box TV and Tuki Alalshikh platform are competitors in the boxing industry. He claims that Turki was banned by Pro Box TV to have access to their events. There are other boxing platforms in social media in the event that it seems to be the accident not kissing the ring, which was also refused access to Turki’s boxing events. This raised red flags in the industry, which Paulie is trying to reveal.
Red flags
Paulie says that he will continue to talk about the undertaking of Turka with Dana White, TKO, as objectively as possible. After hearing what Paulie TV had to say, my ears also set off. I want to share my thoughts on the interrogation of Paulie about the desired Turk league in 2026 and the White dish.
Rankings and wage scales
The questions that arose were based on the leakage of the scale of salary of incoming fighters and the ranking system, with which the warrior would be paid. The reported scale of remuneration was a rocky fighter. For those who are not sure what it is, what an amateur ready to twist Pro would be guaranteed on the basis of a minimum.
It was designed to pay fighters properly based on the ranking system. It would start with the ranking downstairs, and your salary would enhance if, for example, you got up to #15, and then #10, then #5 and so on. As it differs, say, an outstanding Olympian signed by the main promoter is that the provisions would pay much higher for lower fights, simply because of the pedigree of talent.
Paulie asks why the best talent would be with Turkey just to be a drawer with a minimum, equal to much less talents, traveling all the time traveling for a much more tough path? This novel league remuneration and ranking system would not make sense for future talents at the highest level if you started a career with TKO Turkis.
Pros and disadvantages?
Paulie claims that the most crucial talents are better for recognized promoters, such as, for example, the highest ranking, because they turned out to be the best talent guides. The best talent of the highest rank will receive much more guaranteed minima when traveling to the championships. During this highest rank, it will match them as carefully as possible, usually from 10 to 15 fights, which fans consider cannon feed or lining at a record level of fighting. Paulie says that this is good for the adolescent warrior.
Developing that when they reach the sanction bodies of the rankings, their salary will enhance significantly. As a fan, we see that the best rank is one of the best in conducting (i.e. production) of their talent. For example, Keyshawn Davis recently. Davis was considered the top level of Turning Pro. The highest rank was able to easily build Keyshawn in the master.
Keyshawn was able to put his record from 10 to 12 relative cannons. Allowing him to be in the best position in a ranking organization, such as WBO, until he received the title shot. Davis was lucky that he had the highest rank, who also had a champion, Denys Berinchyk, thus fighting for the title. The reservation is that Berinchyk was seen as the weakest master of links. Paulie would say that this situation is good for a warrior. Davis was able to make a compact fortune fighting less than star competition, on the road to becoming a champion in which he earns a lot more money.
Paulie says that TKO has different plans
Depending on how you look at the Keyshawn Davis situation, fans can consider it good for a warrior, but bad for boxing. Based on the statement of Paulie about how TKO plans to pay his adolescent future warriors, it seems that the venerable way of building a warrior will be a past. Paulie believes that the way TKO plans to build his masters will eventually turn out to be good for the company, but bad for fighters.
Newborn talent who signs with Dana White and TKO will not be well paid to feast taxi drivers that can hit a shiny 30-0 record from 27kos. No, the outline seems that adolescent warriors match tough from the first day. They will be paid decently based on their results. It seems fair outside, but not Paulie. He considers it a grave problem if you want to build the main boxing stars.
The main argument that seems to make sense is basic that before the adolescent talent reaches the top, they will be burned. Paulie, being a warrior, claims that in boxing you cannot have a tough fight after a tough fight. A group of the best boxers consistently fighting with each other in exhausting fights, will lead to the fact that no one will be able to join and become a global star.
Everyone will reject, and their skills and bodies will erod too quickly to have long careers such as Legends of the Past. Durans, Leonard’s, De la Hoyas and Canelos, unlike conviction, were carefully adapted and conducted. They did not fight the killer for the killer, believe or not. They had sections of mediocre opponents, took free or did not take some fights.
On the way on the ladder they did not fight the best guys right away. Pauli says that this is how boxing works and you can manage and build guys who have a career of 10, 15 and even 20 years venerable. In the TKO format you would be lucky to have the prevailing champion for over 2 years. Thanks TKO yes, you’ll get great duels from adolescent pretenders to masters, but it wouldn’t last long. After a few years, the talent pool would be seriously exhausted. For adolescent fighters, this means that when you go with TKO, you can take too much damage to the championship that your run will be really very tiny. And then what?
Because the fans are correct or did it get stuck in the venerable way of the boxing industry? What if your son is fighting, what route would you lead him? I mostly agree with Paulie. I think that TKO will be good for fans, but in the long run bad for fighters.
Britain has produced some great heavyweights in recent years, ending an almost century-long curse and seeing success in the division ever since. Predicting the outcome of the clash between two of the best fighters in the country, Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury, Roy Jones Jr said it would be a “great fight”.
Bob Fitzsimmons became the first British world heavyweight champion in 1897, and he and Jones remain the only two fighters in boxing history to have won both middleweight and heavyweight world titles.
However, Great Britain struggled for success in the division after the Fitzsimmons fight, unable to claim heavyweight supremacy until Lennox Lewis became WBC world champion in 1992. Britain has since crowned its title 11th world heavyweight championFabio Wardley, who follows in the footsteps of Fury and Anthony Joshua.
In an interview with Grosvenor CasinoJones said he would give Lewis an advantage over the “Gypsy King” if they met in their prime.
“Tyson Fury vs. Lennox Lewis? That would be a great fight, but my first thought was Lennox Lewis because of his power. But my second thought was also that Tyson Fury was great at making adjustments. I would go with Lennox Lewis.”
At least one heavyweight world title is expected to remain in a Briton’s hands for some time, with Daniel Dubois scheduled to face another Briton, Fabio Wardley, for the WBO belt next month.
In the meantime, we hope 21-year-old Moses Itauma can continue Britain’s success for many years to come, with the youngster considered by many to be the hottest prospect in boxing.
As for Fury, he is focused on the UK-wide megafight with Joshua – their own ‘Battle of Britain’ after Lennox fought Frank Bruno in 1993.
“Derrick James, he started getting a little more players and a little more buzz, and I feel like our communication has changed,” Charlo told Brian Custer.
Charlo said that as James built a larger stable, there was less hands-on time spent with him and more trying to control the gym environment. He claimed that James wanted things done his way, including telling players to remove dogs from the gym during training sessions and changing the atmosphere that helped build their success.
Charlo has been out of the ring since his loss to Saul Alvarez in 2023, and James recently split from Errol Spence Jr. A coach once considered one of the safest hands in the sport is suddenly facing public criticism from two of his biggest names.
“He wanted it his way,” Charlo said. “Coach needs us. Don’t overdo it, coach. Serene down, coach. I was your first champion.”
He also pointed to his camp leading up to the Alvarez fight, saying the support around him wasn’t the same when he needed it most.
“You don’t enter into a world title fight like that,” Charlo said.
Charlo still believes he can regain his spot in the junior middleweight division, and talks about a possible fight with Sebastian Fundora are ongoing later this year. His confidence hasn’t changed, but his patience with ancient alliances has noticeably changed. Sometimes a rift begins when success changes the room.
However, ‘AJ’ instead maintained that he would prefer a warm-up fight first, with the Londoner expected to return to action in July, ahead of a long-awaited meeting with his arch-rival in November.
I’m talking to talkSPORT BoxingHamed was looking forward to this match and suggested that a draw could be on the cards.
“Who do I think will win the fight between AJ and Fury? Well, that is the question and everyone wants to know.
“Years ago, Tyson had this awkward style for me where he could make AJ look stupid, that’s true. Now everything has changed. Tyson seemed to have backed off a little bit.
“But with Tyson Fury you never know, maybe one night he’ll show up and box amazingly and do what he did to Wilder. Those first few rounds [against Makhmudov]I was a little disappointed that he didn’t go from the start.
“This is going to sound crazy to you, but would it be unbelievable if I said it could be a draw?”
It is unclear whether Fury will also fight in the summer or whether he will avoid risking a lucrative romance with Joshua and wait patiently on the sidelines.
