For years, we heard about roadblocks like broadcast rights and ego. Now, with a Netflix deal reportedly carrying the broadcast and the fight likely headed to Wembley, Turki has shown that those weren\u2019t immovable objects<\/p>\n<p>Look at that photo again. Having Hearn, the man who was once the primary architect of British boxing, talking in the foreground while Turki laughs is a masterclass in branding. It frames Hearn as a witness to the deal rather than the lead on it.<\/p>\n<p>This is the ultimate new era flex. Turki signed the fight that defined the failure of the previous generation of promoters. It\u2019s high-energy, it\u2019s direct, and it\u2019s a massive win for his General Entertainment Authority brand.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cHe Cannot Do It\u201d quote from Turki. That was Turki addressing his own critics who said he couldn\u2019t bridge the gap between these two camps. Turning the comments back on with his X account today is his way of saying, \u201cCheck the receipt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This gloating by Turki Alalshikh is a calculated end-of-an-era signal. By posting that specific photo today, he\u2019s performing a public autopsy on the old way of doing business.<\/p>\n<p>By choosing Netflix over the traditional PPV giants, Turki is signaling a total shift in how boxing is consumed. He\u2019s moving away from the old guard of sports broadcasting and into a global streaming model that treats boxing like a massive entertainment event rather than a niche sports broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Reynolds is a boxing analyst covering major fights and career turning points, with a focus on performance, trajectory, and long-term implications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI love when they say he cannot do it,\u201d Turki posted on X, alongside an image of himself&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":554747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-554746","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/554747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
