    Fury vs. Usyk
    Joshua vs. Wilder (was possible)
    and Bivol vs. Beterbiev (maybe soon).
    They're boxing's last hope right now, having created the fights that so many people wanted.
    It would be cool if Dazn and other promotions continued to work with them, maybe they could build their own boxing league company like golf.

    Boxing follows the money and right now that's where the money is coming from. I don't think the influx of Saudi money makes that much difference at least not for the big fights, more money just means fighters purse demands grow, but for fights like Bivol/Beterbiev where there's little interest from casuals it is a boon for us hardcore fans who want these elite match ups.

    I also appreciate the time these big fights are being aired when in Saudi, no more waking up and stupid times in the middle of the night or early morning for fights in the US.
