    Good news. Really hope they manage to pull it off. Wonder if the Saudi money has dried up and they are now scrambling around for tv deals.

    Good card in Scotland, yet again.

    Hoping this tournament doesn't capitulate before a possible Taylor/Prograis final.

    Surely someone would still try and put that fight on. Sauerland’s independently, cyclone, Lou Di Bella, DAZN etc.

    Just came on to post this. Gutted :(

    I guess the Saudis aren't pumping as much cash in this time.

    Hope Taylor doesn't hang around for too long.

    I'll be absolutely gutted if the WBSS falls apart, which seems to be the case : (

    I read an article by Baranchyk’s manager and he was basically saying the WBSS were late paying and wouldn’t put the money in an escrow for the semi’s etc and still didn’t have a solid date.

    Hopefully this has then forced the Sauerlands (and their backers) hands. Be a shame to lose this.

    Prograis v Taylor is probably my most anticipated fight of the year.

    Hopefully this is them giving team Baranchyk the assurances they've asked for. Really want this fight to go ahead, it's guaranteed to be a cracker I think. Taylor is just class and Baranchyk is strong, comes to fight, doesn't stop and tries to take heads off with every punch. It'll be war :)

    Hopefully the tournament remains on track and the issues are now resolved... great to see the fight land in Scotland and not overseas!!!
