You missed the critical part. The Saudis are not in this to make money, at least not directly.

Oh they are

If it happens, the majority of fights that fans would’ve wanted to see this year have happened. Including tank vs Ryan, Crawford vs Spence , Haney vs Loma, Inoue vs Fulton, and Lopez vs Taylor. The only major busts that should have happened this year are the promoters preventing Bivol and Beterbiev from unifying and Canelo avoiding Benavidez. Otherwise 2023 has been pretty solid.

Don't forget Logan Paul v Dillon Danis or Floyd Mayweather v Don Moore. This really was the year of the fight fan.

How could I have forgotten those barn burners? Not to mention Jake Paul Vs Nate Diaz.

They have a long term plan to transform their economy for sure, but they're not making anything from these individual sporting events.

I bet they are. That's why they've signed Usyk.

Is this confirmed or is it just Fury talking?

It's not confirmed. In the article it says, "it's on hold". So this article is just saying that the fight might happen.

I missed nothing. You're talking about something else.

Not going to happen. Ngannou KO2 Fury.

LOL. Highly unlikely, but I wouldn't mind seeing it.
20-1 sounds about right. It would be amazing to see Ngannou pull off the miracle upset.

We got Inoue v Tapales on tap at the end of the year too. He's got a good shot of becoming undisputed in two divisions in 54 weeks, which is pretty crazy. Think Crawford would try for 154 if Inoue pulls it off?

Fighting this weekend then less than 2 months later that close to Xmas day having the biggest fight in HW boxing and arguably all boxing.

I'll believe it when the bell rings and they start throwing punches.

I’ll believe it at the end of the 4th round
