So Arabians are saving boxing or what

[El_Maldito_Rey]

All good fights. Much better than Canelo fighting 2 divisions smaller guy for example.

Apart from Usyk/Fury, which would've happened regardless of the Arabs, which one is better than Canelo/Charlo?

That "super card" has a bunch of names, but they're fighting nobodies. Like Bivol for example.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

No chance that somebody else puts so many good fighters from different promoting/manager companies on the same card.

I hope S. Arabia is the next boxing Mecca. They can also give me Bivol -Beterbiev.

Have you ever been to a big fight in Vegas, NYC, even the UK?

I have no issue with Saudi making fights like Beterbiev-Bivol that wouldn’t realistically happen elsewhere, but the idea of every big fight going to Saudi would be terrible for boxing fans.

The Mecca of boxing should be somewhere fans can enjoy.

Nah, once boxing has served its purpose for them, they'll discard it. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

usyk was mando to AJ so that would have happened
they got AJ and Wilder in the same ring, different time slots tho
fury usyk u would think would have happened anyway but they may created a few divas along the way who knows

Sad for boxing in that fans (well, most fans) cannot afford the time and expense to see that fights live. I'm happy that the boxers are seeing a payday but let's not forget that Hearn, Bricktop and Arum are laughing while seeing their bank accounts on their phones.

I live in Europe. For me, it is more comfortable watching fights from S. Arabia live on TV/internet than from States.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin: mismatch
Dmitry Bivol vs Lyndon Arthur: Tremendous mismatch
Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker: I'm actually curious about that one...

Joshua -Wallin is not a mismatch, you will see.

Canelo -Charlo was the biggest mismatch I have ever seen.

If the best ain’t fighting the best or the fighters ain’t fighting the fights the fans want, What are we talking about?

more importantly what are we paying for?

Consistency is what keeps a sport going strong. Not a handful of events a year.
