    I think the point more-so was about certain wealthy African/Non African inviduals having the funds to sponsor the event in Africa & being willing to.

      Yup, alot of people are like that even in Europe too.

        I can assure you billions do not follow AFCON, I doubt you’ve even heard of it..

          Maybe Deontay meant the Africa exhibit in Disney World.

            Congo staged Ali vs Foreman and the country was no richer than it is now. The figures thrown around dwarf anything Ali or Foreman received for their fight as they got 5 million a piece which would be something around 25 or so million in todays money.

            If the Saudi's are using this as a loss leader what would Nigeria do with this fight?

            Well we have one tell on the as of yet unsigned fight and the purse Wilder is receiving is less than 100M US...

                Fair, but there's a reason that the last big fight in Africa (excluding South Africa) was Ali/Foreman.

                Hell, what was the last one in South Africa even? Lewis/Rahman?

                    God I feel ******. I didn't know Congo was a real place. I thought it was fictional with gold and a giant ape or some sheit.
