One of the most expected bouts is going to happen. We have Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury. No. No. Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury. There you go. That's why you're the expert on this, my friend. I know. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but we're getting there. Maybe at the end of the season I will be. But basically, this is going to be one of the biggest heavyweight championship bouts of all time. And it's between two Brits. And, you know, boxing, which is called the Queensberry Rules, started in Britain back in the 80s. It's going to be fun, isn't it? It's going to be fantastic. Now, there's a lot of drama in the business. Wait, say that again. It's going to be real fun, isn't it? That's his English accent via Mexican accent. The Mexican British accent. The Mexican British accent. So this is going to be one of the biggest heavyweight bouts, but there's a lot of business stories happening around it. Around it. Because. Who are the promoters? Yeah, so one of the promoters. So it's being put on by this guy named Turkey. Turkey is his first name. I forget his last name, but he's Saudi Arabian. There's a lot of Saudi Arabian money coming into boxing. They're putting up a lot of the big fights. Yeah, yeah, so they're putting up the money now the promoter is Zufa Now Zufa is the boxing arm that was started by the UFC guys Dana White Okay, the boxing that started a lot of drama with a lot of the other promoters in boxing You're stepping on our toes The way that they're coming in Dana White's coming and saying he's gonna fix boxing because boxing is nice stuff by the way he's not wrong now the the promoter the promoter manager of Anthony Joshua the guy named Eddie Hearn he's feuding with a legend of the sport but the guy putting up the money Turkey the Saudi Arabian guy is making them work together and there's been a big rift one of the big things that's happened that that shows the cracks in the Zufa armor because they're coming in with all the money they're putting together these big fights they put together the Ryan Garcia Connor Ben fight that happened recently they're actually getting a lot criticism from the UFC guys because they're giving boxers all this money they need kind of been $15 million for one fight one round and UFC guys oh well he got his knee buckled in the game so the cracks in Zufa are showing because a major lightweight fighter named Shakur Stevenson yes one of the biggest names in boxing signed with Zufa and that was one of the big guests like oh my god this guy's a sign that they were bringing the top talent in his prime he got released this week he asked for his release because Zuppa wasn't making fights that he wanted to make so he was going to fight Devin Haney that that's been put on hold so we'll see what happens now Zuppa might still be involved but then they don't have a lockdown on the thing with boxing they can go in between promoters that whereas the UFC locks down fighters kind of like an MLS system where they own the fighters and the fighters get paid by the company very much like the Mexican lucha libre and exactly and so so in boxing there's a higher ceiling there's the the biggest paychecks are bigger but the lower paychecks are also much lower than than than the minimum wage so that's what that's what that what Zuppa and Dana White are trying to right kind of level up yeah well i think that with Zuppa they want to do with boxing what they did with MMA clearly yeah instead of a bunch of different promotions and different centralized It's just one thing we're all for, exactly.
