Hearn criticizes the Alalshikha Plan ‘One Belt’, claiming that it will limit the possibilities

Promotor Eddie Hearn says that the Plan of Turki Alalshikh and Dana White would have one champion in the division in the whole sport prevented many fighters from getting the opportunity to fight for the belt. Turks and White Plan is not a repair for the salvation of sports. It will make it worse.

Career freezing
With only one champion, the competitors should forever get the recordings of the title, especially if there are a repeated rematch as we see with Arthur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. The careers of the candidate are frozen as they wait for the title to be shot into the title, old and missed.
Turkish’s idea that he has one champion by weight will blush sports, preventing many fighters to fight for belts and capture them. What could hurt sports is to enable fighters to move more divisions to skip the line to fight for a world title without competition in that weight class.
Jump into the line
This is what the Turks set up for the Crawford Terrence to move with 154 to jump in front of the candidate in 168 to cause Canela Alvarez for his WBA, WBC and WBO super middle titles. This is only unfair to the fighters competing in 168. If the Turks are still doing such a thing in the future, the existence of one belt on the division will be cancer for fighters competing in his league. Fighters should be equal but as we see here, Some are more equal than others. Will this be the norm for the Turkish new league?
“One Boxing belt is not revolutionary. It has been discussed many times. So far we have not had a financial fire power to happen so far,” Eddie Hearn said HUB TV fightsresponding to the Plan of Turki Alalshikh and Dana White for just one belt in the division in sports.
Turks have money to try to change sports so there is one belt, its weight, but it is unrealistic without four sanctioning bodies coming out of work. This would require not only that, but also if all the promoters outside his company renounce.
The only thing Turks and Dana White can do is fragment sports more, with their league. They are likely to target talented fighters developing other promoters, letting them do a hard work, and then offer them big money to come to their league.
In other words, tHey would be like wolvesLooking at fighters outside their company and asking them to translate them. Even working, they would not be able to create one belt that is recognized as the only one. Sport would be as fragmented as it is now, but even more.
Fighting title?
“I would not underestimate the value of the World Cup belt, four belts [IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO] a fighter. The legacy and history that comes behind, and the fact that their heroes had belts around the waist.
“Also, sometimes when there is only one champion, other people don’t really get the opportunity to fight the World Cup belt. I’m really a great believer in discovering who is the best. So if there is a way to do it, I am for that.
“I don’t think it is [boxing] Broken, but when people talk about repairing, it’s certainly not a quick repair. With his elaboration and financial fiery power, maybe this can happen on time, “Hearn said.
