Wth are you talking about, boxing is much better in Saudi than in MSG or Vegas. MSG and Vegas offer crap and can't string together an interesting card to save their life. But 'muh atmosphere' is irrelevant when the majority of the world has to wake up at 3 AM to watch some underwhelming sh*tty Vegas show starring washed up pensioners, bums and corrupt decisions - all of this interrupted by NFL and McDonald's commercials every 45 seconds. Just LMAO
A few months after Ramadan finishes So mid June or July July might be too hot unless they do it at last night time in Saudi where the temperatures are cool enough otherwise it's like 50C daytime and around 35C during late evening
The ancient maxim is true yet again—this sport has and always will be about money. Mafia, sanctioning bodies, all-powerful promoters like King at his peak, and now the Saudis. Those are the real architects and players. Always glad to see Cristiano Ronaldo there. The man can appreciate the daunting demands of pugilism.
Say what you want about the Saudi’s… But at least there getting these proper fights made. Fury v Usyk and now Bivol v Beterbiev. Superb.
****, this was about time. This has got to be the longest duck in modern day boxing. Seven year champions in the same division and just now they're making it happen??
