🚨Chelsea did not fire Enzo Maresca & had no desire to make a mid-season change. Aggrieved insiders have pinned the blame on the season descending into chaos on what they view as Maresca spoiling his relationship with the hierarchy after 18 promising months in charge. [guardian]
@MMAFighting@DamonMartin 1-5 in his last 6; last win was 3 and a half years ago; 2-6 in the promotion with a 25% win rate; his two wins have a combined record of 4-13 in their last 17. Mcgregor’s last win was 4 years and 10 months ago and his last win before that was over 9 years ago.
@lthomasnews Has desperately wanted to portray himself as part of the BJJ community for years and then goes and passes from side control to mount with no underhook or cross face.
@JohnCrensh67847 @LoganDobson Big purses being an obstruction to consumers seeing the product they want is a fair point. However TKO boxing is literally also partnered with the Saudis and are relying on their funding so they can continue cutting costs to maximise shareholder value (side-effect of monopoly).
@JohnCrensh67847 @LoganDobson Sponsorships are a non-factor if TKO are involved. Fighters in the UFC are paid about 17% of total revenue and boxers 80% or more. That means boxing events under TKO would have to get about 5x the revenue than they do currently to pay fighters more which is entirely unrealistic.
@JohnCrensh67847 @LoganDobson Less money in the sport = less attractive career prospect = less people looking to do the sport professionally = lower standard of athletes. Also generally speaking I’d rather the athletes get the majority of the revenue from boxing as opposed to some billionaires from Vegas.
@LoganDobson Very ignorant comparison. Boxers are independent contractors and big four league players are employees. As employees, they get a union and a pension. As independent contractors, the ability of boxers to be fairly compensation relies entirely on competition between promoters.
@DLouisAcct@TrentReinsmith Interviewing who? One of the issues (aside from the obvious moral ones) with attempting to platform an adjudicated rapist and narcissist is that he does not care about Ariel or his show and will cancel on a whim.
