Zuffa trying to create a cost-certainty product. Pay low wages, and build brand over boxer. Last night's Salita/ Claressa card was the antithesis. Grassroots hometown brand-building. G-Boy's King Ryan card was the same. Zuffa might hypnotize ufc kids; not boxing-savants.

Oh, we long for the days of Tim Ryan with Gil Clancy, Dan Dierdorf with Alex Wallau (& yes even Howard Cosell. He became a caricature by the mid-70's but his presence & attorney's mind brought gravitas to the call).

Oh Lou. It was a hockey game, not a tranny/migrant-rights rally. Congrats to the U.S. team. We'll obviously get them next time.

🚨Haha! 😂😂 -- Toronto man gives a "taxpayer's acknowledgement" immediately after a woke Toronto councilor gives a "Land acknowledgement" "lets reflect and remember that EVERY salary and lightbulb in this chamber is funded by us" 😂😂 Give him the ORDER OF CANADA!

Exactly. I had great opinion on this when a promoter (Oscar)first bought The Ring. Claims of autonomy aside, I was not naive enough to believe the journalists/ratings committee would not (even subconsciously) paint story-lines or ratings in favor of in-house talent.

Was there front-row with Lennox (& Michael J. Fox)that night, enjoying Arturo's savagery. I ended up on HBO (between Lennox & Jim Lampley). My folks, watching at home, were not impressed(!)

lol. Glad you enjoy. I've certainly been around this game for decades. Very hard to say, but the atmosphere & action at Lennox's last fight vs Vitali Klitschko was memorable.

A couple of things. Ali made big bank fighting Antonio Inoki & Lyle Alzado (while Holmes fought for pennies). Johnson & Dempsey also prospered/fought exhibitions. Same time-travel inequities have shown in NHL/NFL et al. More $ available now/exploited.

The MSM Media is broken. Modern journalism has zero integrity and will prop political parties(the southpaws mostly because of who owns the outlets), and business entities if it benefits them directly. Critical thinking abilities are mandatory to exist in this malfeasant time.

Megyn, this guy Damien Coks used to attack Heavyweight Champ Lennox Lewis for boxing in England(L.L born there) instead of small market Canada(L.L. grew up there). He also shamed a Canadian tennis player for competing for the U.K.(he was a dual citizen) at the Olympics. JACKASS

One of the great perks of owning a sports bar near Toronto was being able to dial-in every boxing event televised (including those Forum shows)on my big C-band sat-dish on the roof. *Teaching Lennock how to pull a draft at Suzy Q's mid-90's.

Dio can' Lou. Get a grip! I've been watching you devolve into an hysterical cult member. That's a far way from the HBO exec/promoter I knew from many cities/sites with Lennock. Turn off your phone for a week per piacere

Climate Barbie is one of many larcenous Liberal cabinet ministers who channeled money to their/spouse's private companies. Where are the federal charges, trials & sentences.

Vito Antuofermo! I used to run into Vito at the fights at MSG in the 90's. We'd end up at the HBO after party in the pub/banquet room in the Garden.
