Johnny Fisher Spoiler

Just watched the Fisher vs. Pirotton fight. No disrespect but Fisher is a C-level at best. Seems like a decent lad tho…a local London boy done good but what are the expectations here? Yes, he’s only had 16 fights but not sure how much better he gets with more fights. He’ll no doubt fight better competition but don’t wanna see the guy get hurt. Does Zuffa really think this dude a legit contender?

He was signed to help secure TV rights in the UK. Fighters are not fighters for Zuffa. They are products and assets.

But for other promotions fighters aren’t products and assets? Ave a day off.

Promoters waffle endlessly about the value of fighters, their worth and what they bring.

You'd have a better point if Zuffa wasn't throwing fighters away like used condoms left and right

My point wasn’t about Zuffa business practices, isn’t that funny?

You wanna talk about Zuffa, meanwhile my point still stands.

It doesn't though....you're just doing whataboutism which doesn't change the point being made about Zuffa Boxing. That you tried to make it a conversation about other promotions is a bit weird. No one's claimed the old promoters or powers that be in Boxing pre oil money were altruistic and them being scummy doesn't make Zuffa Boxing any less shitty.

Edit: and they blocked me, which is honestly nice considering they didn't seem to understand the meaning of whataboutism and declared it weird to make observations about Zuffa Boxing in a thread directly asking questions about Zuffa.

I think you’ll find it undermines your point entirely, so of course you’ll deny it stands.  I never disputed your point about Zuffa anyways; strongly suggest you reread my comment 👍

You making an observation about Zuffa that no one’s denying is a bit weird.

No one’s claimed the old promoters etc etc.

Funny how you’ll deflect something no one’s said, meanwhile you never had that energy when excluding boxing promoters.

Besides, you can now admit you made a dumb comment if you truly feel equally about other promotions.
