I haven't heard anyone talking about it. The Saudis coughing up a load of money for it doesn't correlate with interest level. I'm sure many dullard poseurs will make the trip so they can take selfies next to supercars to post on Instagram though.

Does anyone really think this will be more than an exhibition match?
I doubt I'll even watch a highlights package. Good luck to them making a bit of money rather than securing a legacy for Tyson, but they aren't getting any of my money - not for this.

It may be a massive, massive, massive event but it will be a shit fight.

I can't imagine it breaking box office records. Who the heck is going to pay to watch crap like this?

I don't think it wil sell many PPVs in the UK. There is no buzz or enthusiasm at all for this fight over here. Maybe UFC fans in the States will live up to their reputation for ******ity and throw their dollars at it?

I don't hear anyone talking about this fight. It might have some people interested in it but it is not a mega fight.
