    When the UFC couldn't find a venue in the USA.

    They held events in Abu Dhabi, Yas Island.

    ...


    Funny to see boxing following in the UFC and Dana White's footsteps.

    Hmm.

    Arbitration win for Deontay Wilder may cause issues for Fury vs. Joshua

    Guys remember when David Tua was suppose to be the new Mike Tyson, there where big hopes of Tua winning the heavyweight championship but lennox lewis totally out class him in the fight.

    They might be able to settle and just pay Wilder millions to go away.

    bob arum rather have fury fight wilder first then do the fury joshua fight later in year, he's not interested in a step aside fee


    Bob Arum: Deontay Wilder won’t get step-aside money, better to just do third Tyson Fury fight

    Fury will mop up the floor with Joshua. I’d rather see the Wilder fight again.

    Breaking attendance records during a pandemic is kind of like breaking records at the Special Olympics, no?

    Gotta factor in that heavy outfit he wore to the ring.. he would have KO'd Fury without it.

    That ear shot got him... Wilder comes back hungry. Joshua just feels like a fraud to me. Hell- fight both.

    Because it was a civil suit it left the possibility of settlement open.

    Looks like Arum just closed it.

    Indeed. I still won’t ever bet against the Gypsy king under any circumstances.
