Daniel Kinahan is valued in boxing for his expertise. Now the US government is putting a bounty on his head. The police consider him a drug lord. The proximity to major promoter Probellum is striking.
Dhe sports minister of the Pakistani province of Punjab seems to be a big fan of social media. While in Dubai recently, Rai Taimoor Khan Bhatti shared his trip on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. He met “the team at Probellum,” he wrote, to discuss promoting boxing in his home country. And God willing, Inshallah, there will soon be the first fight with international world-class boxers in Pakistan. He received hundreds of likes and hearts from his followers. Only a few commentators asked critically: did the minister not realize with whom he was smiling so friendly from the photos?

It’s been half a year since Probellum announced its own founding, with the boastful announcement that it wanted to become the most powerful boxing promoter in the world. The company’s president is the Swiss Richard Schaefer, who once switched from big banking to boxing. He told the “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” that there were no upper limits to the capital that one had access to.
