You gotta hand it to Ariel for booking the 2 biggest names in boxing. Impressive.

[@jackboyle887]

Biggest promoter too in Eddie Hearn whos always a great listen aswell

Fr, the inter views were great but was expecting more mma personalities for the ppv on sat

[@Schnitzer325ci]

Wow. Tyson Fury.. what a guy.. Real talk about looking at others, when you should appreciate what you already have.

[@howardroark3670]

I would pay $100 PPV to see Fury vs Ngannou in a cage boxing match! That fight would be HUGE!

[@adamayman7245]

Canelo speaks good English, that’s cool He chose to do this in English

Alvarez looked absolutely thrilled to be on the mma hour. Such enthusiasm

We all here for the King Fury 🙌

King Canelo 🇲🇽 **

[@Dan-tk1sg]

The end of the Eddie Hearn interview was so good. I love seeing Ariel succeed right before our eyes.

[@coreylorance418]

How great was him calling out Mo Lester? And then not realizing it for a full minute. Good stuff Ariel.

[@Yumm...]

Really great how you reach out and the boxing community reach out to you. I started being a mma fan as a much bigger boxing fan but mma has taken me over in years. There shouldn’t be such a divide between the fandoms. Honestly I love hearing from Eddie Hearn too as straight a shooter as a promoter has ever been. And the KZbin boxing “media” is mainly weirdos with a camera who get press passes, I think that’s why he was so shocked the quality of your show! Coming back to this crew from ESPN has lead to some of your best work! Keep it up!

[@brewingfarts]

So true about the KZbin boxing media, I used to try and follow it but it was so hard to watch.. Kugas Cassius IFL tv comes to mind... Zero editing skills... Audio awful, adverts blasting, interview super quiet.. Mad to think boxing has been around so long

[@billhills]

Fury’s response to Ariel’s suggestion of open scoring in boxing at 1:32:44 made me LOL! This was a great show, can’t believe how much Canelo’s English has improved!

[@Rievoldt]

Tyson is the best interview in combat sports by a country mile

Some wise words from Fury.

Great show man.

Kevin Lee getting wobbled by Barboza might be my favourite UFC moment of all time.

[@kyleleyenda6675]

Ariel really told him "tell your people to call my people" 😂 this guys classic

[@user-iy4yy4be7n]

Just here for Tyson. Go Fury!

Eddie "i was there when you just asked saul the question" Hearn

[@collinavery9918]

I love how every time Jorge is on he correct's how Arial says Jorge "Mathzividal" and Ariel continues to plug along with a horrible mispronunciation

[@williamkelly5650]

great show 🔥

[@shootboxpodcast]

I'm not a Colby fan in any way but Dan definitely helped me to humanize him a little bit.

[@walterkaiyuenpang3556]

' Fired Up ' HEELWANI !!! Let's go , KEEP TROLLING ARIEL 💪💪💪🍿

[@MichaelCameron17]

This Dan lambert interview is absolutely amazing. Shame it’s getting lost in the fury hype although I still love fury. Very rare you get an insight like this. Well done Ariel

[@pie579]

Wow what a line up!

[@sn-mc9ym]

WOW the biggest stars in boxing well done Ariel , love a good fury & Hearn interview and.canelo interviews are always good too

[@TherMocOre]

Canelo 😮👍🏽

[@chrisherrera-marentes5971]

killin it !!

[@technodromen]

Man the breaking news sound bit is soo much fun tbh. Hahah. Keep em coming Frank!

[@fistandpen2505]

I gotta be honest... didn't realize Canelo's English was this great. I guess for he's been working on it all these years to where he's comfortable to just come and speak without needing an interpreter.

[@michaelbrianlowe1]

Best line up EVER!! 🤟😎🥳👍

[@andrewrios2295]

Great video!

[@nv6152]

I like the original bet setup

[@reallyharsh]

3:07:25 "Moe Lester" 🤣🤣

[@marktackman2886]

I agree with open scoring!

[@Surre4LSoto]

3:14:21 “this guy thinks I’m a boiled egg fan and that I have one in my pocket” was so funny to me

[@DPER4]

Wow what a show

[@djkneecaps91]

I yesterday I saw a lambert interview on espn decided to pass and today I’m glad I did. Ariel is the goat! Wait for mma hour interviews if you wanna know what’s really up

[@mattlewis4207]

Embedded Is fantastic imo

[@johndenson3107]

I kinda thought that might be why Deontay lost that second fight so quick. His knees where weak walking in because he got down with the misses right before. Did you see them tings hangin out when they were walkin in 👀 !!! Dang

[@elsuperguapo971]

Wtf? Canelo? Yes!!! Greetings from México 🇲🇽!

[@billyblanco89]

Canelo vs Golovkin 3 in Sept man that one has me pumped already! G gave Canelo 2 tough fights, the 2nd fight Canelo standing on the corner buckles in the end greeting the crowd blood flowing down his face, thats not the way Canelo typically looks after a fight. These two are so evenly matched, well they WERE so evenly matched in terms of skill and will. HOWEVER, now, Canelo I believe is on another level, specifically with his conditioning. Not that he's ever had questionable conditioning but the way he fights, being able to fight like that for 12 full rounds, man thats hard. So, now I think he has reached that level where he can. But he wasnt able to do that in either of the 2 previous fights with G. Whatever the reason may have been. He tried in the 2nd fight and he fatigued, made a few mistakes, got caught a few times. He just wasn't able to retaliate like he wanted with power, precision, and accuracy. This time around I think he will become the first fighter to stop Golovkin.

[@insanesamaritan7839]

Boxing tried open scoring before and it didn't work because it took the drama away from the decision. What we need to do is hold these judges accountable for these bad decisions and fine them and even ban them for life then make the fights a no contest and a immediate rematch.

[@daviddean2082]

Ariel you should have Cody saftic on your show. He is a fellow Canadian and the best out there at capping

[@richardvowler1109]

Some serious guests this week.

Airel has officially made it lol this is big.

[@DjLaserShark]

Glad Ariel acknowledged "1000th". Now he just has to acknowledge "Chooseday".

[@derbinich7095]

Im gonna punch my TV in if Ariel gonna say Masvidal this way ever again

[@Sanaa337]

The best part is Masvidal corrected him and he still says it wrong lmao

[@mmadaily4649]

Got tickets to fury vs whyte can wait

[@arryharry]

Fantastic line from Eddie: "some people wanna buy a Rolls Royce, but can't afford the petrol" - absolutely bang on assessment of Warren's purse bid and subsequent treatment of Whyte. That's why fisheye Frank is the worst.

[@tank2837]

I find the in person Eddie hern interview was captivating, over zoom the opposite.

[@thetruthseeker8142]

Wow Ariel gotta say congratulations man probably your biggest one yet.

[@dy139]

Nah doubt it, Canelo interview was way too short same Hearn

[@infamouscrook]

Look at this thing

Tyson going mental on the beard dye again hope he ok

One thing I will say is that u say the ufc does nothing to promote the fights when embedded is a big part of that I feel lol all love keep going!

[@ML4Tisme]

Who had the Griselda records question ?!? I wonder if one of them is into MMA instead of that bullcrap WWE....their skit/tracks with Wrestling excerpts are cool thought !! Still watching the wolkouts to see wich fighter is comming out to a Westsidegunn, Conway or Benny track !!

[@richardvowler1109]

Fury doing all pr Dillion absolutely dropped the ball. Truth is he would have got walked over in the press interviews. He knows it we know it just hope Tyson pulls through on the night

11.58. "GOD BLESS ALL THOSE in Europe/earth Inflicted wit this "La De Dah!" 😐

[@CaptainScarBeard]

Good episode. Ariel getting pissed off at the fake names during the questions was a bit lame though.

[@Fabo100]

Okay it’s not just me. I think Embedded is an amazingly produced show and I do watch them, but certain ones the fighters are just boring. So I’ll miss some here and there but the access is great

[@eastcoastshine2009]

Dillan White making more than double the money to challenge for heavyweight boxing champ than Francis Ngannou did for his three UFC title fights combined

[@outdoorlife8939]

Just FYI, When you have a preview show for betting picks then he drops line that aren't available anymore and he knows that, its literally pointless to include that pick.

[@rocksteadysmodernlife]

U can always trust Ariel to bring a big name to the table. This is my nightbtime ritual. Running out of interviews now lol

[@stevenmurray8297]

Man like Conner the Wizard GC making over 1million profit since he started predicting with Ariel the Hunter Helwani

[@memelord8957]

Does anyone know why Ariel has an Adelaide Crows jersey on his desk

[@murraycornwell8415]

He said in 1 ep if any sports teams wanna pay to be featured on the program, sort of like a sponsorship thing they can reach out. And the Crows reached out (must have paid MMA hour a bit of cash)
