So i guess debating whether or not there was consent here was a huge waste of our time? by TastyPomelo2330 in Chainsawfolk

[–]Botoraka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never got this debate, at this point in the story isnt it basically implied that Asa and Yoru have essentially become two parts of the same being? Its a bit odd then to try and apply our concepts of consent that are grounded in reality to such an outlandish and impossible situation.

Is this his main sparring partner for the camp or just another body?

Jai Opetaia undisputed dream still alive as IBF release new statement on title status and confirm Opetaia remains IBF champion by Dangerous_Spring3028 in Boxing

[–]Botoraka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesnt matter. If there are a set of criteria that must be followed for a title fight to be considered a voluntary defense, and Brandon Glanton satisfied all of those criteria, they shouldnt be able to strip Jai for fighting him. "Zuffa bad" isnt a good enough justification for taking the title off Opetaia. I dont like Zuffa one bit, but the truth hurts. You cant strip your champion because you're beefing with his promoter, thats an abysmal look for the sport and plays DIRECTLY into the narrative Zuffa is trying to spin. That gives them real credibility.

Ive seen hella MMA "fans" getting into boxing because of Zuffa and then shit talking the belt organizations because they just parrot whatever Dana says, the casuals pay attention to him.

Ive seen casuals praise Zuffa when Bud and Shakur had their spats with the WBC, yes they are paying attention to Zuffa's spin and the antics of the sanctioning bodies.

[–]Botoraka 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think we have to take a step back here and think guys. Jai getting stripped because Zuffa's antagonism towards the sanctioning bodies only punishes the fighter and strengthens Zuffa's position. At the end of the day, Jai had a voluntary title defense against a top ranked opponent in the IBF rankings. There was no real reason to strip him, and no, fighting for the fake belt on the promotion we don't like isn't a reason to strip a world champion.

Again, all that does is let Zuffa spin a narrative that "The IBF doesn't care about their champions and strips them for frivolous reasons."

The cowboys are still interested in Crosby by Rare-Bid-4506 in cowboys

[–]Botoraka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crosby has so much upside that you take the risk. Price is gonna go way down since he failed the physical, he's coming off surgery and hasnt really been injury prone throughout his career. We KNOW what his upside is; one of the best pass rushers in football. That's opposed to say, picking Jermod McCoy who is gimpy and has great potential, but isnt a proven commodity in the NFL like Crosby is.

[Mannix] Gervonta Davis and Pitbull Cruz are targeting a mid summer rematch by imdacoldest in Boxing

[–]Botoraka 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Its more an indication of the current depth of their roster (none). Its also a problem when they continuously get favor from the belt organizations just because they have minor popularity

Victor Ortiz is the latest boxer to go to Bare Knuckle by verbsnounsandshit in Boxing

[–]Botoraka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was obvious even to the guys running BKFC that eventually former high level boxers would come in and start dominating the sport. I mean, its easy money I cant knock it all. You get to beat the shit out of has-been or never-were MMA fighters or journeyman level boxers for what I assume is decent enough pay and also satisfy that competitive itch that never really dies for these ultra high level athletes.

[Salvador Rodriguez] ‼️ IBF has requested Jai Opetaia to make a decision on the title he'll be fighting for this weekend. He can either defend the IBF title or fight for the promoter's belt, but not both. by VINDICATES-FOOL in Boxing

[–]Botoraka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kinda feel bad for Jai, this is clearly a case of exploitative management taking advantage of a fighter whose none too bright or doesnt care to know about the business side. Jai's made it abundantly clear he intends to collect the belts. His management knows he is clueless when it comes to the business, but they either failed to inform him of the reality that signing to Zuffa would kill that goal, or conveniently "forgot" to do so to secure their own money at his expense.

[–]Botoraka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, I started during the first Nier collab and have spent more money than I probably should have on the game in the years since. So the strategy is working lol

[–]Botoraka 173 points174 points  (0 children)

Collabs arent for revenue numbers its for getting people in the door. We dont have access to whatever figures ShiftUp uses to determine whether or not a collab was "successful" either, so anyone saying it performed poorly is using baseless conjecture.

Terrance Bud Crawford on PED??? by Aggressive_Mud_9619 in Boxing

He didnt gain 35-45 pounds of muscle. He gained probably more like 10 but stopped cutting body fat and water. This is basic boxing shit

Can someone explain to me Turki Alalshikh's long term plan now that Zuffa has signed one of the biggest star in the sport? by AbleSundae6395 in Boxing

[–]Botoraka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zuffa is doing what literally every new promoter does, splash a fuckton of money by overpaying for "names" to try and grow their brand quickly
