Anyone been to/going to fights in riyadh?

fair i just happen to be travelling in that area around then...checked how much ticket's were for a laugh..and they were insanely cheap...i paid 100 Canadian for pretty decent seats...compared to when i went to ufc in toronto ,it was 800 for the same type of seats

Why don’t you like the idea of it? Just think the atmosphere seems a bit dead. Feel like I’d be going purely for the fight, whereas with Vegas I’m going for a good time too. I’ll often take my girlfriend or go with my mates who have little interest in boxing but will go because they wanna go Vegas. Not sure I could convince them to go Saudi for a fight.

Saudi as a location has zero appeal to me and the fight atmospheres are completely dead.

Makes me wonder how most celebs are able to not have the vices they enjoy in a live event. Conor for example or even Snoop Dogg. Tho saying no to perks, gifts, and some millions maybe to attend is hard to resist because why TF not if it's benefitting you. Good question. Think about North Korea tho, I'm pretty sure Kim was letting Denise Rodmon do whatever he wanted behind closed doors

I’m wrestling with it, I don’t really like the idea of visiting Saudi but the fact that I’m missing out on fights I’d really like to see live is starting to bother me. I’m definitely considering going to a fight over there. Why don’t you like the idea of it?

Maybe. Will be way safer than the US. In the US you have shootings all the time. Police killing unarmed people. And in the US their human rights record is f*****, just put a few people to death recently. And responsible for 1000s dying in their own country as well as killing 1000s in other countries.

I'm bi, I drink, I smoke weed. No damn way I'll ever set foot in Saudi Arabia for any reason. would it be cruel if someone hacked a social account of a western boxing fan on the day they land in saudi for the event send very crude anti saudi tweets or social posts & put the feet up?

Haven’t been yet, but definitely will do in the future.
