Comments Thread For: Report: Deontay Wilder to Join Saudi Arabia's Skill Challenge Promotions; Devin Haney on the Verge of Signing As Well

That pretty much guarantees that Wilder vs Usyk will happen if Fury vs Usyk doesn't get done. Wilder and Usyk with the same promotional company is big.

So let's get it done. Fury vs Usyk, Wilder vs Joshua, winner vs winner.

We should get Usyk v Wider. But settle down about Fury. He'll just fight a guy named Bob. He isnt fighting anybody of value.

No fighters could refuse the crazy money but boxing will suffer , nothing better than a couple of beers and a great atmosphere .You couldn't think of a worst place to put on major fights than the Middle East.

Don’t worry Thack eventually all the pissed up, wife beating, tattoo covered, vest wearing fans will still be able to watch there hero Fury punch up some unranked contender in a sport centre up north.

Frank Warren will have to pay off the local badminton teams to get there Saturday night slot in the main hall for the card.

Las Vegas has to be shook! They saw what happened to Golf!

this could be a good thing, I'm fine with Saudi's investing into boxing as long as they can deliver the big fights

maybe that is why Tyson Fury, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia could be looking to get TF out of their current situations

Saudi's want the Heavyweight Division they have Usyk and Wilder, Fury likely next but yeah Edward not letting AJ go. Maybe Ruiz join next as well but this is a good thing

You would hope that the existing boxing establishment might see the writing on the wall and respond.

Just as the PGA suddenly found more prize money, maybe the promoters, broadcasters and orgs might find a way to stop blocking fights.

Wish Saudi and the middle east would get tf out of boxing, bad for the sport.

You can't think that boxing doesn't need to be shaken up.

I'd rather it wasn't the Saudis doing it but the boxing establishment are screwing things up so badly that I'll take any change.

This won’t work.. better off just purchasing numerous promotional companies then massively overpaying free agents on short term deals

they'll end up paying ****** unsustainable money to these top fighters so they only have to fight once a year or less. fighters will retire earlier, have less of a legacy and we won't get to so them.

Also fighting in front of the most unappreciative 'fans' makes the atmosphere seem like they fighting in the covid days. It's a ****ing sham. Real boxing fans can't get to Saudi to support their guy.
Remember watching that Usyk Joshua fight? Should of been to a sold out Wembley or buzzing Vegas, instead you got this cricket event.

[DClefthook]

I'm okay with it.

They can't be any more corrupt than us
