BOXERS own boxing, bro. Just cos Turkeys Halall Shake might be organizing everything and whatnot, if the boxers don't turn up then THERE IS NO BOXING! It has to be a partnership. But the parasites have to go, one way or the other.
No the worst thing is when a corporation owns everything. Turki doesn't mind losing money on great events, but corporations must always suck out as much profit as possible at all times. The fighter salaries for UFC are a joke when you compare it to the profits they make.
The problem is if you look at a unified organisation like the UFC the fighters make peanuts and the ownership make bank. Boxers already have a history of being exploited, and it's only likely to get worse if they dont have the ability to negotiate with leverage.
Historically, great artists would have a "patron", which is just a rich guy or prince that likes that person's art, and supports him financially. Turki is like a patron of boxing. He really loves boxing and respects the boxers. The UFC on the other hand is a soulless corporation that must make bigger and bigger profits every single year. If a corporation fails to make a profit they can legally be sued by their shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty. There is the difference.
A kind of "super League" for boxing already existed in the form of the Muhammad Ali Trophy, tournament-style competition whith all champions & top contenders of a given weight class. (Notable winners being dre Ward, Inoue & Usyk himself). And it absolutely delivered imo. Idk about the saudi plans but a 'league-style' tournament in boxing (/ fighting sports) is unfeasible, but I'd love to see another tournament to unify the belts in at least one weight class
With the current model of boxing everyone's a champion. That's what puts people off boxing is the incredibly complicated system as everyone has a belt and most of them you've never heard of it. Simplify it and make it like the UFC model where you have 1 champion per weight division and all the ranked opponents need to face each other to get a shot at the champion.
It’s mental when you think about the old era fighters who fought at the top level every 3 weeks with records of 186 fights or something. Guys like Archie Moore who was still fighting champions at the age of 65! With gloves that barely had any padding and rules and refs that didn’t stop the fight until someone was half dead and sagging on the ropes. Boxing back in those days was insane!
Boxing has a long history of association with dubious bankrollers, the Mafia, Don King the convicted murderer, Kinahan cartel and brutal dictatorships like Zaire's Mobutu, now it's the Saudis turn. That's boxing for you, still love the fight game though.

I don't know about a boxing super league, but when I saw Usyk holding up a belt that said Undisputed that Turki gave him, made me wish that there was only one belt per weight division. I wish there was a way for Turki or anyone else to merge the four different sanctioning bodies into one.
That's what made you wish there was only one belt? The one belt that looks like it was made out of a cornflakes box. Been saying for years. Each of the 4 sanctioning bodies buy an equal stake in the Ring belt, then use their own belts as eliminators for the actual ring title. The rest can be fringe world champions and have 1 clear champ in each division. Personally I'd love to see them bin all the belts and just have one overnight, but that won't be allowed happen.
or just have an indisputed title in every division - the only one people care about that he owns. doesn't need the other titles if the undisputed belt is genuinely held by the best fighter in the world and not passed around on politics.
Everyone talking like most champs don’t fight 1ce maybe 2ce a year boxing would become so fucking stagnant and a champ could easily hold the division when ever he wanted if he was the only one.

Fantastic idea, at present you can have world champions who fight nobodies and avoid the fighters that all fans know will be dangerous to them, to avoid the risk, but they still claim to be the best in the world. Hope it happens, one world champion at each weight

It's now at the point of blatant corruption because noone challenges it. Bravo for calling this out in such a diplomatic way. Bangon
The only downside I see with this right now is that it will create a monopoly. It might be the solution for fixing the boxing circus at the moment, but it will eventually and inevitably go down the shitter like any other monopoly always does.

@@TheStraightestWhitest To be fair Fury is a cocky bastard and a lot of people are just glad to see him be taken down a peg. Even as a Fury fan I want to see him be more humble.
That was piss funny! Props to you. I don't know how I've missed this channel in the past but, I'm subscribing right now to ensure I don't miss it in the future. In regards to the super league of boxing; it's certainly an interesting concept and would hopefully give the fans the best fights, though I wonder how you get promoted and relegated to and from it once the initial boxers are picked. Say a young protege comes along, how would they get into the league? Would they have a 2nd division, 3rd division etc like football or would it just be down to Turki's choice? Keep up the great work! I look forward to your future posts.
I know this might be a stupid take, so just try to hear me out. What if boxers fought with other boxers in the same country to compete in earning a title in their own country. Then, later on, champions of other countries can compete on winning a world title. Again, this is probably a stupid idea, but this randomly popped in my head, lol
Say what you want but Prince Turki has, so far, done nearly everything right and may be saving boxing and making it great again. Utter dream cards and fighters actually fighting each other in their peaks every 3 to 6 months so we really really see who rises to the top not by 2 bouts over 2 years to carefully chosen styles etc. Turki making boxing great again! MBGA!
Buying up the promotions is less helpful than buying up all the belts, then binning them. You need promotors to sell fights, most fighters are not gobby salesmen, so you need a mouth to get people excited. Its all about priorities, getting everyone paid and fairly, getting excitement and atmosphere and lastly getting everyone shiny belts imo.
What will likely happen if they pull this off is that they will start with each of the top 15 of each weight class being a part of the league. But after putting on some super fights between those fighters they will then offer out contracts outside of the top 15 so they can climb the rankings. This is how the UFC currently does it as they have plenty of low ranked fighters that fight. With the UFC spending a lot less money than boxing and have been putting out fights with greater frequency ever since the Saudi’s got involved to make the process of making fights even sooner.
Rather than buy out the promotion companies, why not buy all the sanctioning bodies. Then they’ll have the power to enforce exciting mandatories and can actually make the champions fight each other. That achieves the same goal as the league without having to make a complicated league structure
Here is my 2 cents. There is this super league with their own belts. Call it the TBL (Turki Boxing League) or what ever. When you win a belt you have to defend it with in 4 months. You can only fight for a TBL belt in a TBL fight, no other belts from other boxing associations can be on the line in a TBL fight. TBL fights are simple 80/20 split on the purse, 80 to winner & 20 to loser. Change the scoring system to stop draws. The TBL fighters are allowed to take other fights outside of the TBL but champions will be locked into that 4 month defend clause. Winning purses for TBL championship fights will be paid on the next TBL fight. This will stop a fighter scooping a big payday, the belt and never coming back to the TBL.
There needs to be change the UFC model is not it. That causes less rights for the boxers, a lot less money for the boxers, less freedom to do what they want. The UFC model is horrible for fighters and isn't any better for fans, as fighters are still protected, the number of fights is around the same as modern boxers which is low compared to the past and drug use is rampant.
Th UFC pay structure sucks, 100%, and will not be carried over to Boxing BUT...The fact that all fighters are in the same promotion and can not duck each other is essential for this broken sport with hundreds of WorldChamps.
@@zGJungle How do we know it won't be carried over, the people creating this would make lots of money if they did. Fighters were not under the same promotion in the past when no ducking occured, and that was because a loss meant so much less, as your ability was based off of what was seen in the ring, it is the fans fault and fighters who left undefeated due to avoiding which is the issue. UFC has protected fighters and ducking occuring all the time. Make it so there are less belts that's how you do it not just have a UFC style promotion 🤦♂️
@@ethnicalbert but why would they pay more this model is designed around paying less. What is fantastic nothing will change and without other major promotions things could get much worse
But what does it mean for the lower level fighters that don't have a huge following yet? This only sounds like a good idea for the ones who are already household names
@@seanisnotjohn that's true, but at least prospects get get built up fighting different styles of opponents. With this, prospects would have to fights champions in order for it to sell.
This is how the UFC started, and eventually what it became is a promotion that doesn't pay its fighters near what they're worth. I like the idea in principle. It just needs to be managed in a way that benefits the fighters before anything else.
One belt per division is just what makes sense. I don't see it being a problem in terms of people getting title shots. It just means the top contender fights will be much more interesting and 'visible'. By visible, I mean it'll be clear that top contender fights are worth watching because they are actually top contenders. Rather than having 80 top contenders spread across 4 organisations, we can have 20 under one. It'll make getting a title shot tougher, as it should be. But will make it much easy for fans to keep up with who's who in boxing and entice new fans to the sport. You could still have other belts for special occasions. Like the WBC diamond belt for matches between two legends who are semi-retired and something like the BMF belt from UFC which generally puts two really exciting competitors together.
I'm a big fan of MMA, if I'm honest I'm more of a casual in boxing. I know enough to recognise that both sports have huge issues, primarily where the promoters and promotions are concerned. As frustrating as it is not to have the best face the best in any sport, at least boxers at the top level are generally well compensated, as opposed to the greater part of the UFC's roster. I fear given enough time and success, any dominant promotion or 'super league' has the potential to place itself ahead of the fighters.
I've been saying for years that there were too many belts at world level. I didn't even try to count the others. 1 world belt per weight... and make fewer weight classes as well.
I'm against this for one reason Propa......by having this league it gates people, that's the beauty of boxing, a person can turn pro in any country and work their way up the ranks. Once this league starts you have to get 'in' before you can do anything. So it might make the best fights but from a limited league pool ......so how can it be the best fighting the best? Bosch!
That point about the ‘you can’t have one belt or the division will never move’ is kinda shit. Like look at the ufc, champs usually fight twice a year and top contenders fight eachother to make a clear number 1. Works fine
I like the idea of the best fighting the best. However, the beauty of the mandatory system is that styles make fights and that's how upsets happen. When Buster Douglas beat Tyson, he wasn't a top 15 fighter so he wouldn't have been part of a boxing super league. Same goes for Leon Spinks when he beat Ali. Same goes for Michael Spinks when he beat Holmes. And so on. Upsets are what make the HW division particularly intriguing and this would be lost under a super league type of system.
Its a bad idea. The champ cant fight all other 14 in the league, as that would take 7 years. Also.... Eddie wont give up his ring masters role, he loves it too much. This is gonna end up splitting boxing even more in the long run. Imagine Eddie sells up and one year later he starts up Matchroom 2.0 to compete in a new league (sorta identical to the format we have today 😉).
I am that friend who knows nothing about boxing, saw on UA-cams the other day “Ben Whittaker in IBF International light heavyweight title” and I thought “bloody hell I thought he just did all that mucking about for Instagram but he’s in an International (world?) title fight? i need to see this!” Then all the comments are saying he’s going to come unstuck when he fights a British or European title fight. Totally confused. Fridge magnets indeed.
In theory it will be amazing. No ducking, no politics just pure boxing and proper recognised champs. And all those leaches like wbc sulaiman can get lost. But the only problem is that it can become a monopoly and some fighters will never get a chance to win the championship
There being so many belts is exactly the reason someone can be a world champion and you have never heard of them 😂

I know this might be a stupid take, so just try to hear me out. What if boxers fought with other boxers in the same country to compete in earning a title in their own country. Then, later on, champions of other countries can compete on winning a world title. Again, this is probably a stupid idea, but this randomly popped in my head, lol
If it gets everyone actually fighting eachother, that's great
Say what you want but Prince Turki has, so far, done nearly everything right and may be saving boxing and making it great again. Utter dream cards and fighters actually fighting each other in their peaks every 3 to 6 months so we really really see who rises to the top not by 2 bouts over 2 years to carefully chosen styles etc.
Turki making boxing great again! MBGA!
This would be brilliant
The best finally fighting each other
And the drug cheats gone for good
This way no one can duck anyone and the fans get the fights they deserve
His Excellency has a good idea, and if Frank and Eddie are onboard the others will be wise to follow.
Buying up the promotions is less helpful than buying up all the belts, then binning them. You need promotors to sell fights, most fighters are not gobby salesmen, so you need a mouth to get people excited. Its all about priorities, getting everyone paid and fairly, getting excitement and atmosphere and lastly getting everyone shiny belts imo.
Why-TF not?! Thank you Turkey👌
What will likely happen if they pull this off is that they will start with each of the top 15 of each weight class being a part of the league.
But after putting on some super fights between those fighters they will then offer out contracts outside of the top 15 so they can climb the rankings. This is how the UFC currently does it as they have plenty of low ranked fighters that fight. With the UFC spending a lot less money than boxing and have been putting out fights with greater frequency ever since the Saudi’s got involved to make the process of making fights even sooner.
Boxing and flight of the concords. Genuis
Top class 💯on point👌👍🇬🇧🥊
Rather than buy out the promotion companies, why not buy all the sanctioning bodies. Then they’ll have the power to enforce exciting mandatories and can actually make the champions fight each other. That achieves the same goal as the league without having to make a complicated league structure
Here is my 2 cents.
There is this super league with their own belts.
Call it the TBL (Turki Boxing League) or what ever.
When you win a belt you have to defend it with in 4 months.
You can only fight for a TBL belt in a TBL fight, no other belts from other boxing associations can be on the line in a TBL fight.
TBL fights are simple 80/20 split on the purse, 80 to winner & 20 to loser.
Change the scoring system to stop draws.
The TBL fighters are allowed to take other fights outside of the TBL but champions will be locked into that 4 month defend clause.
Winning purses for TBL championship fights will be paid on the next TBL fight.
This will stop a fighter scooping a big payday, the belt and never coming back to the TBL.
Love this model means more fights, more competitive fights and helps to build coherent storyline leaving the BS at the gates
There needs to be change the UFC model is not it. That causes less rights for the boxers, a lot less money for the boxers, less freedom to do what they want. The UFC model is horrible for fighters and isn't any better for fans, as fighters are still protected, the number of fights is around the same as modern boxers which is low compared to the past and drug use is rampant.
Th UFC pay structure sucks, 100%, and will not be carried over to Boxing BUT...The fact that all fighters are in the same promotion and can not duck each other is essential for this broken sport with hundreds of WorldChamps.
@@zGJungle How do we know it won't be carried over, the people creating this would make lots of money if they did. Fighters were not under the same promotion in the past when no ducking occured, and that was because a loss meant so much less, as your ability was based off of what was seen in the ring, it is the fans fault and fighters who left undefeated due to avoiding which is the issue. UFC has protected fighters and ducking occuring all the time. Make it so there are less belts that's how you do it not just have a UFC style promotion 🤦♂️
@zGJungle they can be in the same promotion and still duck each other or get 'underserved' title shots, happens all the time in the UFC too....
The model is fantastic, they just need to pay better. It’s a simple fix!
@@ethnicalbert but why would they pay more this model is designed around paying less. What is fantastic nothing will change and without other major promotions things could get much worse
Fridge Magnet belt looooool
🤣😂🤣😅😆😆
The Turkey is truly excellent
IBO starting to look more legit by the second. Great video, as always Uncz. BOSH!
But what does it mean for the lower level fighters that don't have a huge following yet? This only sounds like a good idea for the ones who are already household names
It's always been that way
@@seanisnotjohn that's true, but at least prospects get get built up fighting different styles of opponents.
With this, prospects would have to fights champions in order for it to sell.
Unify all the major belts, make it clear who's the best of the best and have the best fight the best. I'm all for it.
That argument that the the division doesn't move on is what is happening now so the change could be good
- Like a group of super boxers???
- more like a boxing league
Mauricio salami 😂fantastic
This is how the UFC started, and eventually what it became is a promotion that doesn't pay its fighters near what they're worth.
I like the idea in principle. It just needs to be managed in a way that benefits the fighters before anything else.
About fucking time someone stepped in to clean up the boxing mess!
They should scrap all the belts and just keep the Ring magazine belt.
They should take a leaf out of the old WWF and have midcard belts, like the Intercontinental Championship, European, Hardcore and Divas titles
As long as no Fury’s are involved it will be propa! Bosh!!
good stuff . lets see how it goes
Technically there are more mma organizations than the UFC thats just the biggest
People forget this.
One belt per division is just what makes sense. I don't see it being a problem in terms of people getting title shots. It just means the top contender fights will be much more interesting and 'visible'. By visible, I mean it'll be clear that top contender fights are worth watching because they are actually top contenders. Rather than having 80 top contenders spread across 4 organisations, we can have 20 under one. It'll make getting a title shot tougher, as it should be. But will make it much easy for fans to keep up with who's who in boxing and entice new fans to the sport.
You could still have other belts for special occasions. Like the WBC diamond belt for matches between two legends who are semi-retired and something like the BMF belt from UFC which generally puts two really exciting competitors together.
WBSS/super 6 style tournament every couple of years would be perfect to get the best fights and an undisputed
@propa boxing , 0:50 seconds into the video
What Turkey says Turkey does ? lmao i'm sure you meant Saoudi Arabia
Ive dreamt of this for boxing. Having less belts is fine. it works in UFC and people get excited for non title fights all the time.
I'm a big fan of MMA, if I'm honest I'm more of a casual in boxing. I know enough to recognise that both sports have huge issues, primarily where the promoters and promotions are concerned. As frustrating as it is not to have the best face the best in any sport, at least boxers at the top level are generally well compensated, as opposed to the greater part of the UFC's roster. I fear given enough time and success, any dominant promotion or 'super league' has the potential to place itself ahead of the fighters.
World champion means little when those words are tossed around everywhere. We need a king on that hill
I've been saying for years that there were too many belts at world level. I didn't even try to count the others. 1 world belt per weight... and make fewer weight classes as well.
We've been spoiled!
Ben catches a stray within 30 seconds 😂
I'm against this for one reason Propa......by having this league it gates people, that's the beauty of boxing, a person can turn pro in any country and work their way up the ranks. Once this league starts you have to get 'in' before you can do anything. So it might make the best fights but from a limited league pool ......so how can it be the best fighting the best?
Bosch!
This could be the best thing that happens to box in the last 20 years
As influential and with as deep of pockets as Turki has I don't see this coming to fruition.
That point about the ‘you can’t have one belt or the division will never move’ is kinda shit. Like look at the ufc, champs usually fight twice a year and top contenders fight eachother to make a clear number 1. Works fine
But there are more boxers than ufc fighters. One champ per division would bottleneck the sport
I like the idea of the best fighting the best. However, the beauty of the mandatory system is that styles make fights and that's how upsets happen. When Buster Douglas beat Tyson, he wasn't a top 15 fighter so he wouldn't have been part of a boxing super league. Same goes for Leon Spinks when he beat Ali. Same goes for Michael Spinks when he beat Holmes. And so on. Upsets are what make the HW division particularly intriguing and this would be lost under a super league type of system.
Its a bad idea.
The champ cant fight all other 14 in the league, as that would take 7 years.
Also....
Eddie wont give up his ring masters role, he loves it too much.
This is gonna end up splitting boxing even more in the long run.
Imagine Eddie sells up and one year later he starts up Matchroom 2.0 to compete in a new league (sorta identical to the format we have today 😉).
I am that friend who knows nothing about boxing, saw on UA-cams the other day “Ben Whittaker in IBF International light heavyweight title” and I thought “bloody hell I thought he just did all that mucking about for Instagram but he’s in an International (world?) title fight? i need to see this!” Then all the comments are saying he’s going to come unstuck when he fights a British or European title fight. Totally confused. Fridge magnets indeed.
In theory it will be amazing. No ducking, no politics just pure boxing and proper recognised champs. And all those leaches like wbc sulaiman can get lost. But the only problem is that it can become a monopoly and some fighters will never get a chance to win the championship
I am a fan of the league idea, makes it more competitive and desriable.
