Nico Ali Walsh breaks down the four major changes he wants included in the revised Zuffa Boxing Revival Act: "In layman's terms, financial transparency is absolutely essential—UBO disclosures, fighter pay. You've got to be able to show what money is being made. Free agency. Length of contracts. Rankings transparency. Those four are really the main ones that we stuck to in the meeting. If they listen to those four, we'll be in a way better position, and fighters will be able to keep a lot of the rights they have under the current Ali Act."

Nico Ali Walsh discusses how his appearance on the Zuffa Boxing broadcast came to be: "At the end of the meeting, [Nick Khan] said, 'Would you guys be open to being on the broadcast for the event tonight?' I'm here to support the fighters. I'm here to support boxing as a whole. Anytime I get to support boxing or fighters, absolutely. I will never shy away from that. I gotta give it to Nick Khan. I even gotta give it to Zuffa. They put me on the broadcast. They didn't give me any talking points. They didn't hint at, 'You gotta say this. We want you to do this.' I respect that. They gave me that platform, and even on that platform, I spoke somewhat against Zuffa. I was just being honest. I'm here for boxing. That's just the truth."

“They compared [Zuffa Boxing] to the NFL, where the Super Bowl champion is the one champion. But in the NFL, you have the AFC champion, the NFC champion, the AFC West champion, the AFC East champion. There are a lot of champions, and then when it comes to the Super Bowl, that’s the equivalent to an undisputed champion in boxing. Every sport has multiple champions.” @nicoaliwalsh points to contradictions in TKO’s defense of the Ali Revival Act.

Nico Ali Walsh doesn’t believe TKO’s Ali Revival Act push is a done deal: “We’re speaking to senators daily because of that hearing. The senators are just shocked to hear what we have to say about that and the monopolistic control they would have over boxing if the law passes.”
