    To be fair, a big ring isn’t going to save him and might even work against him trying to hide from Usyk

      All I know is, AJ can't outbox Usyk, and he's too frail to bully Usyk. I think, his only hope is to play card games in the back room.

        The Saudi’s pay more money than anywhere by some distance, actually they don’t even make money on the event, it’s more about promoting their kingdom. Also probably a lot of dodgy dealings going on.

        That’s why they offer 9 figure site fees, even though the crowd is pretty small. Nowhere else can really compete with the money they’re putting up.

          I guess it's hard to justify turning down the best offer for a HW title fight, even if it is in Saudi. If nothing else the crowd will be neutral.

            I read that book Alexander Dumas while I was in prison.

            hope and wait


            I think I kinda wrote a paper about this in college.

            I never knew or utilized that part of my brain.

            one of my favorite books is by a Japanese author. Tanizaki

              Everybody should make as much money as possible.

              Eddie shouldn't dress it up like he wants them to get paid. He wants to get paid. Just be honest.

                  Hearn will help the Saudi creeps commit crimes against humanity as long as the money is right.

                    I read a lot of Dumas. The Crimes, the Borgias, Three Musketeers, Man in the Iron Mask. This is where I get many of my conspiracy theories.

                      You I love. No **** …
                      my most difficult class was an elective UCB.

                      I had to go to take it pass/fail and I felt ******

                      I never though about Kurosawa, Spielberg, or other movie directors.

                      I thought I could do that. I couldn’t

                      id like to think o could do anything. I set my mind to doing. But I can’t.
