Each week right here at FightHype, we make some house for a great, old style written phrase cash shot from the depths of my bulbous, bulging (mail) sack. So, prepare for a few of that notorious Magno-rific gooey, salty, generally NSFW fact. This week, now we have feedback/questions relating to David Benavidez, PBC, and that Garcia/Haney/Teofimo promotion.
David Benavidez, Frozen Out Once more?
Hey Paul,
Through the years I’ve turn into a fan of David Benavidez. Whereas he isn’t excellent, I’m impressed with the best way he has performed himself over the previous few years. Most of all as a result of he did not proceed to attend round on Canelo. As a substitute, he’s attempting to carve his personal path to superstardom. I do imagine he earned the chance although. It simply irks me {that a} man like Edgar Berlanga was handed a struggle with Canelo with out doing completely nothing. Now he (Berlanga) has the audacity to assume that he is on a degree the place he can decide and select who he fights. This man thinks that as a result of he survived not being knocked out by Canelo, he has earned the suitable to name photographs!!! GTFOH!
My apologies, this e mail was suppose to be about DB.
Simply wish to know your ideas on should you assume the sunshine heavies are going to try to freeze Benavidez out? I hope not as a result of he’s doing the whole lot that we search for in a fighter to show he’s one of the best. It might be a disgrace if he would not get to struggle at the very least Bivol or Beterbiev. If he cannot get a type of guys, the place does he go from right here?

Hey Reggie.
I’m beginning to get the sensation that Benavidez shall be saved out of attain at gentle heavyweight, simply as he was at tremendous middleweight. Until he indicators on with Riyadh season to some extent, why would the Saudis and their promotional enablers need a struggle that might see their strangle maintain on 175 finish immediately? It makes no enterprise sense for them as they formally start their very own promotion/league/boxing firm. The blame shall be dumped at Benavidez’s toes, after all, as a result of he’s a PBC man. However, as you mentioned, the man is doing the whole lot proper. It gained’t be his fault if he will get frozen out of his second straight division.
PBC?
Hey Paul.
I’ve been excited about this Turki transfer on boxing and the way the whole lot appears to be shifting in that route. The one holdout appears to be the PBC, I do know a few of their fighters have fought on Turki playing cards, however I don’t see them working so intently with them like the opposite promoters do. That acquired me excited about what their plan could also be. May they’ve one thing up their sleeves or are they only holding on to see how all this performs out? What’s your feeling on PBC and their future?
— Clyde
Hey Clyde.
Truthfully? I don’t assume there’s any type of grasp plan. PBC is simply attempting to carry on and keep afloat. At the least that’s the way it seems proper now. At this second, they’ve Tank Davis, David Benavidez, and a small handful of different names. However, more and more, PBC might want to take care of Saudi-aligned fighters to make a few of the greater, higher potential bouts for his or her roster. That’s once we’ll see if the mutual loyalty between PBC and its fighters holds collectively or if the fighters, who’ve a higher diploma of independence than most athletes working with boxing corporations, will merely drift off to the place they assume the grass shall be greener.
Scum Fest, Introduced To You By Ring Journal
Hello Paul.
I don’t have a query, I simply wish to specific my unmitigated disgust with the best way this Ryan Garcia/Devin Haney/Teofimo Lopez card has been promoted and what’s gone down in boxing’s identify with the total help of Turki’s Ring Journal.
Ryan Garcia is a PEDs cheat who has mentioned essentially the most vile and racist issues with out ever getting any actual blowback. Teofimo Lopez has gleefully made racist comment after racist comment and he continues to smugly embrace race baiting. Then, these guys all hobnob with rapist/intercourse trafficker/racist/scumbag Andrew Tate whereas passing alongside the photographs prefer it’s a promotional promoting level.
What’s been happening within the identify of promotion for this card is nauseating and what makes it worse is that Ring Journal, our oldest and beforehand most prestigious journalistic outlet, is getting used to legitimize all this rubbish.
I used to be on the fence about Turki and the Saudi Arabian affect in boxing earlier than, however this has pushed me far into the opposition class. For sure, I gained’t be shopping for this present.
— John from NY
Hey John.
I’ve nothing so as to add. You mentioned it completely. Simply basically, boxing has been manner too permissive of racist discuss and conduct. This card specifically options two of the worst latest culprits with regards to that– Garcia and Teofimo. There simply appears to be zero fucks given in regards to the promotion of this card. Ring Journal and the Saudis are simply attempting to push this one on the market and get these guys again to Riyadh for the winner bracket fights. I don’t make a behavior of clutching pearls, however there may very well be at the very least SOME decorum and sophistication.
