    More of Europe trying to legitimize these evil corrupt anti-Western regressive regimes, while overthrowing the ones who actually have something in common with us, like Libya and Syria, it would boggle the mind, until you realize the US and Europe care more about money than they do human rights and democracy.

    Pretty sure Sauerland can't spell politics when he's sober, let alone off his tits.

    This is all about getting £££, and potential future £££ from such an oil rich nation. Politics are pretty irrelevant here.

    It's also a bit 'rich', excuse the pun, to complain about the corruption in these nations when you look at the last decade of results in US boxing.

    So what? Am I supposed to ignore the fact that Saudi Arabia will profit from good press and quite a lot of tourist revenue, all the while they fund ISIS, Al-Nusra and Al-Qaeda, homosexuals are tortured & imprisoned and **** all over women's rights, individualism in all its forms is basically non-existent, because there's been a few shitty scorecards in Boxing? Sorry, but I think I have my priorities straight here.

    You're right it is about money, and the fact that the West and various businesses within the West are willing to overlook how despicable these regimes are, and in some cases try to minimalize how vile they are and normalize them in Western eyes, just to line their pockets, is ****ing repulsive.

    Let's not get into politics, but boxing is the least of your guys concerns right now.

    It's also a bit hypocritical of yourself to take a dig at Saudi Arabia, considering that the US have just signed the biggest arms deal in history with the Saudis.

    Maybe you should look closer to home about who really is funding these terror groups?

    Just because your rights for homosexuals and women are slightly better than the likes of Saudi Arabia, doesn't mean you're anywhere near the standard of rights given to these people. The US has no place to lecture anyone on terrorism funding, gay rights and gender equality.

    I'm totally opposed to how chummy the US is with the Saudis, and yeah, I know the US are funding terrorist arm in arm with them, it sickens me to the core, and have brought that up in the lounge several times, I wrote an entire article about our illegal involvement in Syria and the roles the Saudis played in that. That's why I used the term, The West, Europe and the US.

    At the end of the day, it's really just as simple as....

    "You should put your own house in order before telling other people what to do."

    I'm quite sure you have it right,not to mention the breeding ground for hate put on innocent children at school and mosque.
    What gets me is though is how places like Pakistan ect under Obama were maligned whilst Britain and America the Anglo American world power are in each other's pockets with Saudi Arabia and because of the money on the line things like human rights,terror campaigns and downright draconian ideals are conveniently forgotten about,just shows that those in power truly don't give a damn about human life and as such don't have any empathy like us and therefore judging them by our ideals and what we'd do is futile.
    I love boxing but hate the corruption and trying to envisage boxing over there just screams of corruption as it was over there where the match fixing scandal in cricket become huge,may have to draw the line on this one CST80 and refuse to watch any boxing from there.

    Probably the main reason Hillary Clinton could never of been President as she'd taken so much coin from these terrorist supporters and that coin was for favours let's have it right.
    Makes the Trump n Russia psy op pale into nothing.
    I'm afraid though CST80 in the main your views will fall on deaf ears.
