Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview: Gabriel Burris, amateur boxer | Ep. 214
Q: What specifically about the UBO structure do you think is bad for fighters?
The UBO structure is harmful as it allows for monopolization and lacks essential protections for fighters, which could lead to exploitation.
Interview: Gabriel Burris, amateur boxer | Ep. 214
Q: What is your boxing background? How did you get into boxing and what is your current status?
I'm currently an amateur boxer who's been training for three years and was injured training for a fight, which led me to advocacy.
Response to Andy Foster interview with Ariel Helwani | Ep. 198
Q: Why do you think Andy Foster is supporting the bill?
Foster's support may be driven by the California State Athletic Commission's need for revenue from major events, linking to the broader monopolistic leverage TKO appears to exert.
Response to Andy Foster interview with Ariel Helwani | Ep. 198
Q: What do you think about Foster's claim that the promoters and sanctioning organizations won't be impacted by the bill?
The claim is technically true, as it won't apply to them if they choose the alternative method, but they will be impacted due to the advantages given to TKO.
Did CSAC sell out boxing to TKO? | Ep. 197
Q: Was there any media representation for the opposing side?
Only one media representative, Sternberg, commented on the matter, indicating limited media coverage for the opposition.
