    Trust Tyson Fury to throw a spanner in the works of what looked like the easy money gigs for this generation and beyond, the f'ing idiot.

    Spanner in the works?

    You think this Saudi circus will last?

    It won't, it's just some silly rich guys throwing money about for a bit of amusement, because they can.
    they'll soon move on to something else.

    And the sooner the better tbh.

    Whether they stay on boxing isn't clear but this isn't just some rich guys spending because they can. Its much deeper than that.

    Turki al SHAKER went full Don corleone in that hostage video

    the mask has slipped, these saudi Dons a bunch of blood barons peddling human misery, the type of men who believe everything has a $$$ price.

    You're joking right? The Saudi have a huge fund for basically reconstructing their country and global interests. Sport is literally just a fraction of their funds with boxing being a miniscule amount of that.

    The Oil won't last forever.

    They forget though. All these mega cities need incoming investment to sustain them. It's all well and good building a "leisure capital of the world" but if Saudi isn't generating oil money in 30 years then locals won't sustain it. They need us to visit and spectate or the whole thing falls apart.

    Go to Dubai and see how many locals are actually driving the place.

    Given that the Saudis have paid The Undertaker no doubt royally to be at a domestic cup match tonight with a full three minute entrance I doubt money is an issue for them.
