Turki Alalshikh has shortlisted some of the fighters he may want to put against Terence Crawford on September 13 in Las Vegas in Las Vegas. Apart from Abdullah Mason and Christian Mbilli, the other fighters are not known.
Turki’s Undercard: Trailer Response
It was a negative response from fans on the list. Some fans suggest that Turki would be better to scrap this list and focus on two or three battles involving quality fighters if they do not want to spend the money on a loaded bottom map.
Dana White’s Opportunity Playbook
The opponent for the bottom map has a Dana White Feel it. What White did with the UFC focused on the main event as the draw to bring in the fans and save money on the bottom map using promising prospects.
Fans on social media complain about Turki’s list of eight fighters and say they have never heard of the vast majority. Dana White promotes this event.
The list
Christian Milli
Mohammed alakel
Reito tsutsumi
Justin Viloria
Emiliano Alvarado
Jamar Talley
Abdullah Mason
Nishant Dev
Alakek, Dev, Tsutsumi Underwalm
From the obscure I saw Alel, Dev and Tsutsumi. They submitted me, and I saw nothing in their performances indicating that they would ever win a world title or compete for one. These were average prospects. I doubt any of the prospect will be helpful to build up.
Mason and Mbilli stand out like sore thumbs on this list because it is real contenders to fight for world titles. The rest of the list is unknown. Again, those I have seen are too poor to be useful to build up as the UFC does with their under map fighters.
Earlier today, Turki revealed that he believes that the Canelo-Crawford battle was so monumental that it does not need a loaded bottom map to create interest for them to watch it. The event is streamed on Netflix. Turki intends to use the bottom map to give younger fighters the opportunity to be seen on this giant event.
If I were rich, I wouldn’t put these fighters on my bottom map. I will hold Mason and Mbilli again and shower the rest. Using the UFC model for boxing is a bad idea, and I wouldn’t consider it because it will take away the opportunity.
The world looks at the Riyadh season’s Canelo Alvarez sites Crawford Fight of the Century on Netflix. And for that, I want to load the bottom map with young, hungry fighters who deserve the chance to act under the bright lights. These are some of the names I hope to see … pic.twitter.com/vnry0omfnh
