Agree, it'll be crap if this happens. Lewis vs Bruno was basically the same. 1am on a Sunday, outside at the old Cardiff Arms Park. Better off in Riyadh if they want it in a US timezone.
Thing is, back in the day Tyson v Kevin McBride was PPV in the UK. And whilst AJ obviously isn't up there with Mike legacy wise, he's arguably been a much bigger draw over here. You could probably stick Joshua in with Danny Williams now and, on the current model, it would still be PPV. No wonder half these companies are constantly on the verge of insolvency. I mean Triller, who own more than 50% of BKFC, are pretty much on the precipice and could go at any time.
‘Turki wants this, Turki wants that’ tell him to bollocks. If 90,000 tickets, 3m PPV buys and whatever other revenue isn’t enough for them then they don’t really want it.
Exactly, who cares what this spoilt brat from a stupid part of the world and society wants. Honestly, the idiots that have got involved in the sport are getting more and more unbearable.
Wonder how much Turkey will have to fork out to his mate Khan to bend over and extend the Wembley Events curfew from 11pm to basically an all night event.
Jesus, the cleaners will likely need rehab after hosing down the bogs the next day. At least it should make for a good atmosphere. Might as well bin Sweet Caroline and send them out to Let Me Love You for Tonight.
Back to the 90s when this was not unknown. Lewis-Bruno, Hatton-Tzsyu, Calzaghe-Lacy, others... It would be a retrograde step if boxing got anchored in the US again even if it's with Saudi cash, especially for UK show with two superstar UK headliners.
The fight is on Netflix so they can stick the fcuker on anytime they like. It doesn’t bother me either way
Back in the 90s we had amazing night's of boxing where it would go on for like 9 hours or so, starting with the uk shows and then crossing over to America Great shows I even recall some where it would mix between England, another European country and America Great night's of boxing
I actually wouldn't mind watching a show on TV at 4am, I mean some of us just tortured ourselves watching Scotland at 2am after a day in the pub... My other half (not even a casual, but enjoys the heavies if I watch them) offered to come with me to this one so we fancied Wembley! Not at 4am
