‼️ Eddie Hearn asked again if Dana White will be involved: "We're about to stage the biggest press conference in the history of boxing and he's not here. I think Max Kellerman, who was fed a line on the broadcast on Saturday, explained it extremely well. Dana White is working in a personal capacity with Turki Alalshikh on the event. I'm trying to be diplomatic because I think you should always be humble in victory." (@IFLTV)

This has to be the most depressing collapse out of any of these I've done so far.
The fact of the matter is that most fighters today wouldn’t be recognized at their local grocery store,but want multi millions of dollars at the negotiation table. This issue will continue to plague the sport of boxing going forward. Sorry boxing fam.
