I wonder what Tszyu and/ or his team did that Turki doesn't like. Now he's frozen out of that Saudi money.
He could still get a million or two a fight with a name opponent, working with the usual promoters.
I'm sure the guys Turki paid the most are Fury, Joshua and Usyk.
I'm sure he personally has many millions, but most of the money paid to the fighters and promoters is from some account he has access to just for the sport.Last edited by Liondw; 08-12-2024, 04:11 AM.

As long as he makes fights we want to see it's all it matter, unless you want mismatches like Canelo vs Berlanga on PPV. He can't be a dictator if he is paying them what they want and are happy with the pay. Even if they lose he brings them back. Wilder, Big China man, Miller all came back to his card after loses.

I’m glad that there are other fans here who see the writing on the wall about the Saudis controlling boxing. Sure it has looked good in the short term but the honeymoon stage appears to be over and the real play is beginning to show. You don’t want a third world strong man taking over and entire sport. For that ultra narcissistic mindset, it becomes their own personal plaything and that’s what you’re seeing. Hall of fame inductions, “I’m the face of boxing”, what next? Mexican general type uniform and mandating everyone stand for the Saudi anthem?
young boxing fans…be careful what you wish for. You may get it…

It looks like it’s about ducking. Which is worse. Right?CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart likes this.

Huh? Canelo wants the money for fighting lesser talents. Turki wants to give him money to fight big fights with top tier opponents.

If Turki was serious and not acting like a dictator he would work with Haymon to make one of those two fights and in vegas with a co promotion between Riyadh Season and PBC. I suspect there are a couple of promoters on dazn who are advising him against such an endeavourVerus
