The last Canelo Vs. press conference Crawford should be about two pounds per pounds. Instead, Dana White transformed him into an open night in a crash and a boxing reporter Sean Zittel With He came out the master of people.
Zittel lobbyed the opening bomb, frosty as you want:
“Dana, this fight, as you said earlier this week, it is said that it is the third highest gate in the history of combat sport. The second largest gate that you advanced with Mayweather-Mcregor. Does your company pay, has already paid $ 375 million in antitrust processes and also has two potential collective processes also on the road?”
This is the right unipolar combination. The Muhammad Ali Act is the US law of 2000, which forces promoters to show warriors of real money on the table and stops them from having fighters such as real estate.
Dana folded immediately, mumbling:
“Well, it’s of course a long discussion. If you want to talk to me about it, a song interview. This is not about me and my business. It’s about these two guys on Saturday evening.”
The crowd struck him – imagine that Dana White is booed during her own boxing debut.
Dana White Wobbles, Zittel is still winging up
Zittel pressed the California State Sports Commission. Dana became salty:
“Listen, I understand, you want Thowboat now. Made an interview with me if you really want to talk.”
Zittel broke away without blinking:
“It’s America, honey. First amendment.”
This is the type of line you write on the T -shirt. Dana completely lost the story, growling:
“Listen, if you want to be an asshole, let’s do it in private and we can interview it.”
And then Canelo decided to move. He begins to roar from his seat:
“Fight, fight, fight.”
It wasn’t polite begging either. He sounded like a boy from hiding places outside Wetherspoons, eggs on scrap metal between two guys who had too many lagers. The pound king reduced himself to Geezer in the parking lot, singing blood. You can’t script it. Crawford sat there as if he just realized that this whole Press was under him.
The most awkward piece? Turki Alalshikh, he sat there with a fum – but not in a dish. Turki stared at Zittel, as if cutting a mug. Only in the boxing of truth is treated as a villain.
It ended with this jewel:
Zittel: “Sounds good. Well, Terenca and Saúl, they have a good fight.” White: “Do you have a question for these two? No, beat it.”
This is closer to the greatest pressure of the year – Dana White tells the reporter to lose his hook.
Will Zittel be allowed at all?
Huge question: does Sean Zittel go through the door during weighing? Do Turki and Dana Blackl count him from the Night of the Fight, leaving him outside with the camera like a banished fan?
Because online Zittelmania runs riots. Fans already say that it has landed cleaner than anyone will be on Saturday.
It was given a configuration on the side. It was not a forum for unpacking processes or regulations. He came to promote a great fight, not defend UFC balances. In his eyes, Zittel did not play honestly – he kidnapped the lithe of fighter headlights.
To sum up: Dana White promoted her gaunt skin last night. Turki looked at the wrong man. And Sean Zittel? The master of people left, asking questions that others will not and refuse to intimidate.
