Shortened Careers And Limited Competition: The Hidden Costs Of Dana White’s UFC-Style Boxing League.

Dana White revealed how he plans to operate the new TKO boxing promotion association, began with Turki Alalshiph. White says it will build it from A to Z, using the UFC model as a scheme for success.
Dana will sign fighters on the league, and they will compete and suffer from defeats as the fighters do in UFC. He says they will get rid of the five different bodies and have only one in his periodic. it will be It is impossible to create a monopoly In boxing where only one company works in isolation. It does not work in other works and will not work in boxing.
Functional risks
The fighters who are excluded from the box -like boxing bond will continue to follow the four sanctions bodies, and are still fighting on Dazn and are registered with the famous promoters who are now running sports.
Being in the league, where a handful of quality fighters face each other over and over again in arduous battles, their career is likely to shorten. Imagine that fighters like David Benefidies and David Morel are competing four or five times against each other in the UFC boxing league.
Both their careers will be shortened due to the punishment they bear. Yes, it is entertaining the masses, but it would be hell for the fighters to put repeated battles. Punishment boxers are more severe than in UFC. If you are a boxer, I will not want to be in my role as I always fight the “best” every time. “You cannot do this in boxing without your career quickly ended.
“People want to see great battles. Boxing has become this thing that you should be defeated by people to care. Dana White said to First ESPN tookHe talks about his new partnership with TURKI ALALLALSHIKH to create a boxing league.
“There are many players who look at this will be in this list that has a lot of O. They all will fight each other, and what people want to see is great battles. They want to know who is the best in the world.”
Is this “the best”?
If the fighters Dana White and Turkey are on the new boxing bond, they will only fight the other players on that list, how will they prove that they are “The best in the world?It is not the best. All they really do is to prove that they are the best in this league with a limited number of fighters competing. It seems that what Turki does is now better, choosing great fighters, signing short contracts, and holding convincing battles. You do not need an isolated role to do such things.
It looks like the case with the AFL that ran separately from the US Football Association from 1960 to 1970. The only times when the two league teams were playing each other in Super Bowl. During the season, you do not have teams from the AFL team that plays the American Football Association teams until it merged in 1970. The creation of a boxing league where fighters are competing only against other fighters in this league. The idea does not work better than the current position in sports.
“I am applying simple things, like the best fight,” said White. “There are many talents that we are now looking after someone knows. What I would like to do is building this thing from A to Z as we did with UFC. When we originally bought UFC, we had twelve contracts. I started installing everyone. When you reach the first five places, there is no denial of the best five men in the world, and then they all fight them to know from the world champion.”
How can the first five places be called the best in the world when you talk about a limited group of fighters? White says he started 12, and claims that the top five were the best in the world? What is he talking about? It is only the best in that small company, but not the world. With this boxing association, if they will only compete against other league fighters, you will not be able to contact them better.
The way in the current system is the fighters who have a higher rank, the match room, the Golden Boy, and the PBC often focused on setting up battles with the players inside that promotional company. It was like four or five different championships. This new league with Dana White and Turkey is more than the same thing we see. The only difference is that Turki has more money to play with him to attract good fighters. If they will only compete with a limited number of players in this league, it will not be interesting as it is now.
