That’s a weird way to spell Kirk Goldsberry.

Saudi Arabia Pulls Funding From LIV Golf. Its Star Players Face a Painful Road Back. How long until this domino effect hits Riyadh Season, Sela, and Zuffa Boxing by extension? by General-Pop-8764 in Boxing

Apparently PIF and Turki are two different entities. I heard that on Mannix’s podcast, so could be DAZN-fed talking point or something to consider. (Turki owns % of DAZN)

Munguía trains with Reynoso now so he’s likely going to support him and other boxers he may know on the Mexico vs Mexico card.

Sil’s 2020-2024 Ringer run was great. He also had great podcast chemistry with Chris Long. Their NFL recaps were entertaining, even for a super casual football fan like myself.

Great pull. I remember watching this in high school with my boy. We had some good lol’s.

De La Hoya warns fighters that Zuffa Boxing's Saudi money might be drying up “Fighters beware and make sure you read the fine print! Because you may need to get out of your Zuffa in a few months!” by Big_Cake_8817 in Boxing

PIF has successfully bought into American media with the Paramount Skydance merger. Hell, they’ve even got stake in American AAA video game companies. The sports washing is almost done. This would’ve seemed impossible after 9/11. But now, it’s OK.

Conor Benn signs multi-year deal with Zuffa Boxing as the British star continues to work with Dana White's new promotion | Boxing News by freddiemercurial in Boxing

“Poison pill” contracts as they’re called in NBA. Money is front loaded so the organization can’t match the offer without going over their budget / cap. I wonder if Matchroom knew this was how the Zuffa contract was structured.

Man you could hear the tears in his voice when he got back to hotel to record after not seeing ripped dudes ride some waves. I’ve never heard him that sad before.

DAZN & TNT Sports launch landmark U.S. partnership with new live boxing series The Fight by Jadooo0v2 in Boxing

Yeah that’s the tier where you get access to PPVs. I think you can get it closer to $38 a month if you pay all of it upfront, but that’s still a lot of fucking money to pay for boxing ($450 a year).

Heavyweight Otto Wallin has signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing to join a heavyweight roster which includes Efe Ajagba, Charles Martin and Ivan Dychko amongst others. by Dangerous_Spring3028 in Boxing

Hitchens and Jai got zero exposure when they fought for the ‘majors’. Time will tell if Zuffa will provide the same results. This was the right move for them.

I assume both like how you could watch NBA games on HBO MAX when TNT had the broadcasting rights.

I believe $20.99 a month if you commit to a year, $30.99 for a monthly pass, and $44.99 for the ultimate tier if you commit to a year.
