Serious question why is the Muhammad Ali act even a thing if AL Haymon was able to steal 300 million from Floyd “ no money “ Mayweather ?
Seriously why aren’t we talking about about this let me guess its cause yall wanna protect the image of this scumbag
The boxing media is full of dickriding shameless losers

Breaking:
Heavyweight rising star Moses Itauma is set to headline the O2 Arena in London on July 25, per sources.
Opponent is still TBD, but sources tell @uncrownedcombat it is expected to be another step up for the 21 year old.
This will mark the first time Itauma headlines in London.

In other words—
—Look at all the leverage a Zuffa monopoly provides—to Zuffa.
Come on over boxers and you too can be exploited by a monopoly and enjoy around 15% of the revenues you generate. —

Nick Khan on what he would say to a young boxer watching this hearing about how a UBO could benefit the next generation of boxers: If you want a chance to be something bigger over a shorter period of time on a platform, we were able to secure a deal with Paramount, as I said on a Platform that has almost 80M subscribers worldwide and has a network partner in CBS. If you want that exposure, if you want trading card deals, if you want merchandise deals, if you want video game deals, of which the fighters would all participate financially. If you want all of that, plus some more, come this way. If you don't, that's your choice.

@GreatChefBoxing Yes cause the war rabbit is actually facing the biggest size disadvantages.

The disrespect is disgusting 😠
Inoue is the most dominant and active elite fighter in boxing yet the media keeps favoring guys at the higher weights who fight once a year...
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Would a win over Junto Nakatani make Naoya Inoue the top pound-for-pound fighter? 👀 The panel weighs in. #InsideTheRing | Latest episode LIVE NOW on The Ring’s YouTube 📺

@DanCanobbio Trust me, it will be better for boxing long-term if this bill passes.
Btw, the Ali act is totally useless. Like seriously, when was the last time it got enforced?
English
Want to say this: props to Oscar for showing up today and representing boxing even if I thought he could have been more prepared. No other boxing promoter or luminary showed up. Salute.
English
@TiffanyFong Yes, quite often actually.
At least in their own house
English
@ATokkers5 Damn near everyone fighting for some level of relevancy is on something and yes, he needs more juice
English
@stokedboxing Good reminder to myself how stupid the average boxing fan is.
Although it's probably satire anyways
English
@CurtP_ Because the Ali act never gets enforced anyways and plenty of people can make money through a new promotion entering.
Everyone complaining is virtue signaling
English
@cmckennasport Boxers under Zuffa earn big money. Like seriously, just look at Conor Benn
English
Do the sanctioning bodies need reform? Yes. I'd still rather earn Crawford's purse minus the sanctioning fees than the top purse ever paid in UFC.

Nick Khan on the sanction bodies: They are terrible for the sport. They've ruined the sport.

The one getting no return on their investment in viewers more than anyone is Zuffa Boxing on Paramount.

Nick Khan talks about the current state of boxing broadcasting. “FOX got out, ESPN got out, Showtime got out, HBO got out, NBC got out, ABC got out, and CBS got out.” Why? “There was no return on their investment.”
English
@laizar27 Ali act doesn't exist in the UK. He's a UK promoter
English
I really would’ve loved for Eddie Hearn to have spoken in favor of the Ali Act. If anybody is a great speaker and has no love for Zuffa is him. IMO he would’ve been the best option
English
@erikmagraken When was the last time the act got enforced?
English
This man hit it out of the ballpark.
Muhammad Ali would be proud of his grandson.
Speaking truth to power.
BOXING n BBQ@BOXINGnBBQ
The grandson of Muhammad Ali, Nico Ali Walsh, just testified in front of The U.S. Senate against The Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act. He says if the bill is passed it shouldn’t have his grandfather’s name on it. Below is the full speech:
English
Every platform cancelled boxing but yeah this Ali Act has done so much good. More regulation to a dead sport. And they're going after the only people who can resuscitate it - Khan, Ari, Dana, Ellisons. They are the enemy of the thing they pretend to defend.
P. Curtis@CurtP_
I love how no one even acknowledges DAZN as a thing in the US
English
@lthomasnews Boxing is beyond broken. The most disfunctional sport I have ever seen.
MMA has a pay scale problem, anything else has nothing to do with it
English
Nico Ali Walsh, speaking now, notes that it's odd to claim boxing is broken when MMA fighters try to leverage boxing fights to improve their pay.
English
@MatchroomBoxing @DAZNBoxing A trash talking Afro American boxer is such an endangered species that despite having failed multiple drug tests and not even having world level accomplishments, dude gets one chance after another
English
Nick Khan on the sanction bodies: They are terrible for the sport. They've ruined the sport.
English
@lthomasnews Yes he had the ring title and hence was undisputed
English
Nick Khan says there is no middleweight world champion because there are too many sanctioning bodies.
He says when Hagler was champ, he was THE champ because there wasn't this confusion.
Except Hagler held WBA, WBC, IBF, and The Ring middleweight titles.
