Boxing now faces the creation of private leagues, mirroring systems used in MMA. Fighters could gain exposure and fame, but concerns over pay persist. UFC stars often complain their earnings don’t match the revenue they generate. UFC argues it supports many fighters, so top earners earn less than boxing stars. By comparison, the NFL and NBA distribute roughly 50% of revenue, far more than the UFC. Dana White plans to launch Zuffa Boxing in 2026, hosting 12 events featuring emerging prospects on equal terms. These events aim to develop future stars for high-purse Riyadh Season fights. Over time, the league…
Jaron Ennis moved one step closer to a long-awaited clash with Vergil Ortiz Jr last night.

The U.S. government has introduced a prescription-drug pricing reform under the Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) approach, aiming to lower costs and expand access for patients nationwide. The initiative is expected to make essential medications more affordable, improving health outcomes across the country.

By ensuring that U.S. patients do not pay more than comparable international rates, the policy targets high out-of-pocket expenses and financial barriers to treatment. Health experts emphasize that lower drug costs can directly improve access for patients.…
