Turks Alalshikh and the President of the UFC Dana White created a new boxing promotion. The format is ‘the best fight, the best.’
Ideally, a new company founded by Turks and White will collaborate with other promoters to put large events and remove all four bodies to sanction the alphabet [IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO] once and for all. Only make them outdated.
Where would this leave all the fighters promoting Top Rank, Boxing Matchroom and the Golden Boy promotion? Will it be excluded from the fight against fighter from the Turkish and white promotional company if they plan to follow the isolated league, the UFC format? If it will be like a league in isolation, it probably won’t work.
Fights guided by fans
It would be a good idea for fans to have a league that completely eliminates four sanctioned bodies and has one control body by ranking the struggle. However, if a bunch of fighters are still operating outside this new company, the sport will fragment even more than it is already.

For years, we have seen that different promoters rarely, if ever, cooperate with other promotional companies to get involved in cross-production, networks. Will the new Turki-Dani company make the problem worse?
If this new promotional company just set up competitions between their own fighters, it will disperse and confuse fans and not improve sports. The fighting will resemble celebrities. What could diminish it is if Dana White starts to place his popular MMA fighters in a hybrid boxer match and put terrible mismatch, which are more more unsctenuated to fights like a circus.
It is not clear to fans about this new promotion for sports. Will it be an isolated company, like Dana with the UFC, to fight only in the fighting that included his fighters? In other words, it would be like a league, much like the US Football League operated from 1960 to 1970 before merging with the NFL.
