Here we are—again. Another “historic” fight, hijacked by billionaires with no shame, no plan, and no respect for the sport. Dana White, who was paraded around like some saviour of boxing, has now been tossed aside like yesterday’s leftovers. The UFC boss was supposed to lead the promotion for Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford. Now? Alalshikh made it clear— Sela’s taking over. Riyadh Season wants it all, and they’ll bulldoze anyone in their way. But seriously—who the hell is Sela? Just another faceless Saudi entity with a blank cheque and zero interest in the sport outside of owning it. This isn’t promotion—it’s occupation. No statement. No reason. Just another tweet. Another power flex. Boxing is no longer run by promoters—it’s run by billionaires playing fantasy sports with real fighters. This Was Never About Fixing Boxing. It Was About Taking It Hostage. Back in March, they shoved this TKO Boxing fairy tale in front of us: Dana White, WWE’s Nick Khan, Saudi money, and Canelo signing up for a “new era.” All we got was more boardroom rubbish and ego games. What did fans get? A punch to the gut. No venue. No broadcaster. Not even a date they could stick to. First, it was supposed to be at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas. Then someone finally looked at the calendar and realized there’s a college football game booked that night. Seriously—this is the level of planning we’re dealing with. It’s amateur-hour with oil money.
