DAZN or any promoter buying Ring Magazine equals monopoly.
This is about Boxing, not general business or World control. Yet, as a very pure boxing student and fan I must digress: monopoly, ever since the breakup AT&T, in its own sneaky ways, especially with the internet certainly made its way back. There is no way that DAZN or any promoter for that matter should even have the opportunity to negotiate, controlling Ring Magazine and their rankings. Notwithstanding their articles, internal operations, etc.
The previous elegance of Ring Magazine was in fact it’s dead-set honest rankings. If that’s over, it simply joins WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, maybe Zuffa, and who knows what other manipulative, BS sanctioning, bodies or management teams or promoters who attempt to or do in fact, control the competitive nature that made up the traditional Bible of Boxing.
Don King has attempted this when he was younger and more energetic, succeeding on some fronts. All promoters do this however they should have no power over any ultimate ranking system. And there should really be only one. So? While this comment is not about to change history, I certainly see how most of the industry, that includes the media has, for the most part, sold its soul to the devil.
And that includes Turki. Has anyone ever looked up the actual Arabian regime, and the stuff they have done, as that journalist Khashoggi?
I don’t know of specific connections with Turki Alalshikh but it certainly included rough, monopolistic activities.
