Dana White revealed how she plans to run a up-to-date league of TKO boxing promotion, which Alalshikh started with Turki. White says he will build it from scratch using the UFC model as his success plan.
Dana intends to sign warriors to the league, and they will compete and fail, just as warriors in UFC do. He says they get rid of five different sanctioning bodies and will simply have one for their league. In boxing, it will not be impossible to control the entire sport with the league. It does not work in other companies and will not work in boxing.
Even if Dany receives all the best fighters, if they intend to compete with other great warriors, they will not last long. How can they?
Risk containing a career
Fighters excluded from this boxing league will continue to track four sanctioning bodies, fight with Dazem and will be signed with popular promoters who are now conducting sport. They will not give up the fight just because they were not chosen in the league.
Being in a league in which a handful of high -quality fighters will repeatedly face exhausting fights, will probably shorten their career. Imagine fighters such as David Benavidez and David Morrell, competing four or five times with each other in the boxing league, which follows the UFC model. How about Shakur Stevenson struggling with power, such as Gervonta four or five times. After these fights, there would not be many Shakur.
Their careers can be shortened because of the punishment they endure. Yes, this is entertainment for fans, but there will be hell for fighters who will become repetitive tough fights. Carrying bookies are much more severe than in UFC. If I were a boxer, I would not like to be in the league where I always fought the “best” every time. You can’t do it in boxing without a quick end of your career.
“People want to see great fights. Boxing has become the one in which you must be invincible so that people can care for you. It will all disappear – said Dana White The first shot of ESPNTalking about your up-to-date partnership with Turka Alalshikh in order to create a boxing league.
“There are many guys that we look at, who will be on this leaves that have many Oh. Everyone will fight with each other, and what people want to see are great fights. They want to know who is the best in the world. “
Is this “the best”?
If Dana White and Turki fighters sign this up-to-date boxing league, they will only fight with other guys in this list, as they prove that they are “The best in the world?“This is not the best. All they really do is prove that they are the best in this league with a narrow number of fighters who compete. It seems that what Turks do now works better, choosing great fighters, signing them for brief contracts and creating fascinating fights. You don’t need an isolated league to do such things.
It is like AFL, which ran separately from the NFL in 1960–1970. The only thing when the teams from two leagues played each other were Super Bowl. In the season you do not have teams from AFL teams playing NFL teams until they joined in 1970. Creating a boxing league in which fighters compete only with other warriors in this league. The idea does not work better than the current situation in sport.
“I implement elementary things, the best fight,” said White. “There are many talents that we look at now, which nobody knows about. I would like to build it from scratch, just like us from UFC. When we originally bought UFC, we had twelve contracts. You started to have everyone who matches everyone. When you get to the top five, you can’t deny who the best five guys in the world are, and then everyone is fighting to see who the world champion is. “
How can the first five in a tiny league be called the best in the world when you talk about a narrow pool of fighters? White says he started from 12 and claims that the first five was the best in the world? What is he talking about? They are only the best in this tiny company, but not in the world. Thanks to this boxing league, if they compete only with other warriors in the league, you can’t call them the best.
The way it happened in the current system were fighters from the highest ranking, mechom, golden boy and PBC often focused on establishing fighting with guys in this promotional company. It was like four or five different leagues. This up-to-date league with Dana White and Turki is simply more the same thing we have seen. The only difference is that Turki has more money to lure good fighters. If they intend to only compete with a narrow number of guys in this league, it will not be as engaging as now.
Jordan argued that the reality behind the proposed Joshua vs. Fury fight differs significantly from public statements, before explaining why he believed the event was already taking place outside the normal promotional structure.
“With all due respect, but first and foremost, the reasons why there is enough money to do this is, as we both know and have discussed many times, that both Tyson and Joshua have slightly different deals with their promoters than other fighters because they are not subject to a broadcasting obligation,” Simon said on talkSport Boxing.
“So when Tyson Fury does a deal, he doesn’t necessarily have to be on a broadcaster that Frank Warren or Eddie Hearn is contracted to.
“Where is this fight? Netflix, right?
“So with all due respect and I mean no disrespect to either Frank or Eddie, neither of them are promoting it.
“It’s a deal with Netflix that ultimately includes some of Turki Alalshikh’s money, so Dana is throwing her two pence into the ring.
“But Eddie promotes AJ and Frank promotes Tyson, so they must be involved.”
Jordan then suggested that White’s connection to Turki Alalshikh is the reason the UFC boss is publicly discussing the fight.
“Dana’s daddy will promote it, i.e. Turki Alalshikh” – said Simon.
Both Joshua and Fury are expected to return to the ring ahead of their scheduled showdown later this year, with Joshua scheduled to fight on July 25, with Fury also discussing a return fight.
Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.
“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.
“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”
“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.
“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.
“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.
“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.
“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “
“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”
Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.
The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.
