'NOBODY GIVES A S*** WHAT I SAY, BUT...' - DAN RAFAEL ON ZUFFA/DANA WHITE, EDDIE HEARN & THE ALI ACT Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A new boxing year is upon us and a slew of Irish fighters are looking to break those chains and bring home some major titles. Among them is Tyrone titan Feargal McCrory, who's KO'd inactivity once before and is determined to do so again. Since ‘Fearless' last appeared on The Rocky Road, he's fought three times at Madison Square Garden, boxed for a world title in Washington and proved why he's one of the most popular Irish fighters around with his willingness to fight anyone, anywhere and his determination to get up off the canvas and keep marching forward, no matter what. We hear about his next move, the pain that drives him, the snakes that frustrate him behind the scenes, his withering assessment of Josh Warrington and why he's in favour of the Zuffa Boxing move into the sport and why he feels the Ali Act didn't help him, among lots of other themes in another fascinating conversation with one of Ireland's most thoughtful, independent fighters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Petesy Carroll is joined by Chuck Mindenhall and Ben Fowlkes to discuss TKO's imminent arrival in the boxing world, in conjunction with the Saudi Arabia (2:50) and TKO president Mark Shapiro suggesting that there are some flaws in the Ali Act - an act introduced in 2002 for the welfare of boxers. During the show, news broke of a boxing event taking place in Times Square, and the lads give their thoughts on a boxing card taking place in such a unique location (35:12), before the conversation turned to the UFC's media rights, which will be up for grabs before the end of 2025 (44:48). Finally, Petesy asked Chuck and Ben if the build-up to Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn has made a splash across the water (58:42).

On a suivi la chose comme un feuilleton à rebondissements. Canelo qui doit affronter Terence Crawford en septembre. Puis Canelo qui doit affronter Jake Paul en mai. Le combat contre Crawford qui semble s'écrouler. Puis celui contre Paul qui s'écroule pour de bon et fait revenir le premier sur la table. Le tout avec derrière une campagne de désinformation signée du Saoudien Turki Alalshikh via un grand média devenu son bras armé. Les derniers événements autour de la superstar mexicaine racontent une boxe en train d'évoluer. Et qui pourrait encore plus bouger que prévu avec l'idée rendue publique des patrons de l'UFC et de la WWE de faire sauter le Ali Act, la loi qui protège les boxeurs face aux promoteurs, avant d'intégrer ce sport et ce marché. Le noble art est-il à l'aube d'un immense changement et d'une monopolisation du sport ? Quelles conséquences pour les boxeurs si tout ça se met en place ? Le RMC Fighter Club ouvre le débat sur l'avenir d'un sport qui lui est cher.

UFC 312 seemed to signal a community-wide awakening on Sean Strickland. After watching him go out with a whimper against Dricus Du Plessis (again!) it felt like everybody had kind of had enough of his bullshit. Sure, the visionaries on this podcast have been saying for AWHILE that what Strickland advertises prefight (a bloodthirsty maniac!) is quite different than what you actually get inside the cage (a careful point fighter, who came into this bout apparently having made like ZERO adjustments). After this one, however, it felt like fans knew it, other fighters knew it and even his own corner sort of seemed to know it. So, that feels like curtains for ya boi Sean. The irony is, of course, that Strickland actually DOES feel like a psychopathic lunatic in all other aspects of his life. Just ... not when he's fighting. Plus, damn you can't doubt DDP anymore. Except in his next fight against Khamzat Chimaev ... surely he'll lose that one ... right? Also, are Dana White and Ari Emanuel about to try to "fix" boxing by going after the Ali Act? Well, shit, of course they are! Why didn't we see that coming?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The gang comes together to discuss the terrible UFC 312 card from last weekend. They talk about DDP's win over Strickland and Weili beating Suarez. The gang then discusses the implications of the Ali Act being repealed before giving their top 5 favorite animated shows. All that and another edition of "Stuff We Like."

EPISODE 11: LISTENER Q & A How much were UFC fighters making from sponsors prior to the Reebok and Venom deals? I realize there is a lot of variation, but if you have a range or some examples, that would be helpful. And how much are they losing compared to what they were/are paid in the Reebok and Venom deals? Boxing promoters are apparently funneling money to sanctioning bodies through some form of lobbying. Can you explain how this works? Why do you think Bellator and PFL struggle financially? Is it just because the UFC has superior talent? If not, what are Bellator and PFL doing wrong that they can improve on? Do you see the influencer/YouTube star thing in boxing (and coming to MMA with Jake Paul) as a temporary thing or will it last a while or possibly even become permanent? Do you think it has the potential to create any lasting changes in MMA? Someone recently asked Dana about the low ratings his Power Slap league has gotten on TV. He said that Power Slap is more successful on social media and digital than on TV. He said that the clips do ten million views on TikTok, much more than other sports. Is there any way it can survive and even be profitable that way? Why do we WANT to use a sport that is a “structural disaster” as a benchmark for MMA in pushing the Ali Act expansion and why is it imperative that MMA fighters be paid their “free market value”? In order to have a successful sport, isn't it imperative that both the athletes and the fans are taken care of? In boxing, this is clearly not the case for the fans. So, why is it critical that a “free market” prevails in MMA with all of the issues this will likely create? People compare the UFC's revenue split (17-18%ish) with those of the major sports leagues (50%ish). Is this a fair comparison, considering the UFC's margins are 50% and profitability is critical to it because it is publicly traded company, whereas sports team franchises are generally bought for their asset appreciation as opposed to profitability? Instead of signing a washed Pettis for 800k a fight or million dollar tournaments, why doesn't Bellator try signing the whole UFC bantamweight division since some of those guys have name value yet make less than $100K/ fight. If they were able to get 60% of the top ten fighters, that would be a much bigger blow to the UFC.
