Times are changing in the sport, the sport will never change at its core values, but the times are sure as heck changing at the moment.
New promotional companies, new streaming companies, old and large broadcaster back in boxing after many years away, new governments investing in professional boxing, bigger and better fights being made more frequently than ever before.
TKO and Zuffa Boxing started by Turki Alalshikh and Dana White is now in the sport and did their first event recently, with the help of the UFC And UFC Fight Pass and others as well with Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford.
What a hit it was too.
Crawford stole the show and did the impossible after stepping up two weight classes to win the bout.
Apparently over 200 boxers are looked to be getting signed by TKO Boxing soon which is a big number.
Paramount look to be the main platform that which fighters will box on with a huge budget in the billions for UFC and boxing.
Why would fighters not join something new, fresh and exciting with the world’s best not only fight promoters, but sports promoters, in the UFC?
How Boxers Can Join The New Revolution Happening In Boxing
The world’s most valuable sports league and one of the world’s most valuable sports brands?
Bob Arum lost his ESPN deal recently for Top Rank and his fighters keep leaving him and Al Haymon does some okay shows on Amazon Prime Video but they hardly ever happen and not as frequently that fighters want to fight?
If you’re in America and you know anything about the UFC, they managed to get the best fighting the best and will obviously have to fork out in signing fighters but it is a disruptor and they are always the most exciting teams to join.
It looks to be a no brainer to us if you are in America.
The UFC have proved themselves time and time again.
Tried and tested.
Big money.
Big platform in Paramount.
Evaluate all options, never rush, never be desperate, say no all the time, never let someone try to be your friend and get in your ear, but there is no beating the revolution.
That Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford fight was a success by them in all aspects.
Fact.
Big things just around the corner in boxing.
Times are changing but boxing will never change.
Good fights in store this weekend, David Benavidez returns and more.
