The new normal has unveiled the new setup and a renewed rivalry, not to boxers but also promoters.
Top Rank legendary promoter Bob Arum is continuously engaging in a war of words against Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.
The two have a history of disliking each other, but the recent build-up seemed to reach another level.
Arum did not hold back on his tirade and claim that Hearn only thinks about the money to earn and not about the fight itself.
\”Any fight that Eddie Hearn does, whether it\’s a major fight or a little fight, they put on pay-per-view because Sky Sports is only interested in a money grab. Soak the boxing fans for whatever they can,” said Arum.
He also hit the Sky Sports broadcast, which has been Hearn\’s partner. This comes after Arum\’s struggle to find a European broadcast to air the VasiliyLomachenko- Teofimo Lopez Jr bout on October 17.
Arum mindlessly fired what he felt that he even doesn\’t care if they wouldn\’t get a deal with Sky Sports from now on.
\”These networks need to understand how people are hurting. People in this country and the U. K. are out of work because of this pandemic. It\’s immoral to require people to spend money watching their favorite sport every week, every other week. What Sky Sports is doing in the U.K. is an absolute disgrace. I don’t care if they never buy another fight from me. What they’re doing now is a disgrace.”

Canelo Alvarez ex-promoter Eddie Hearns predicts that Terrence Crawford will retire after his victory vs Israil Madrimov last August 3, 2024 in Los Angeles.

Crawford is now the 4-division champ after winning by unanimous decision.

However, Hearns said that three fighters are a must fight against Crawford before hanging his gloves – Vergil Ortiz, Jaron Ennis, and Canelo.

“I don’t think Crawford wants a Boots fight. I don’t think Crawford will fight again unless he fights Canelo Alvarez because he’s got money, he’s getting on [in age],” Hearns revealed.

He added that Crawford ducks Ortiz. He also mocked him for getting lucky with the scoring for his fight against Madrimov.

Hearns underscored that 36 year old Crawford is craving for mega-money, mega-fights, and real legacy fights that is why he does not like to fight the undefeated Ennis. He furthered that 27 year old Ennis is like the young Crawford version that is why he is skipping him.

Meanwhile, Crawford still hates Ennis because he is overrated.

Lebron ridicules Wembanyama Olympics debut

NBA legend Lebron James mocked team Victor Wembanyama’s team France when they lost to Germany 85 – 71 last August 2, 2024 in Paris, France.

“I wasn’t very impressed with their last game. I didn’t think they were ready for the physicality of Germany. Other than that, they were playing some good ball.” Lebron added that France is not ready for Germany’s physicality.

However team France made a comeback win against Germany last August 8, 2024 with 73 – 69 that stunned the team USA.. It can be recalled that France went 2-1 in Group B last August 2 against Germany.

Wembanyama added 12 rebounds in that game, but not enough to win. This is his first time in
Olympics 2024 yet as of this writing Wemby is getting controversial.
