Eddie wants all the Saudi's money.

Well, thanks to Al and Eddie overpaying unworthy fighters, this is what the sport has come to.

Everyone wants that Saudi Money

The saudis want the best golfers, footballers and boxers - thats why they are mostly interested in HWs - Crawford may be far superior to Fury in a P4P sense but he doesn't beat Fury in a fight

I guess it's become a bit like Vegas, while the latter hosts more UFC events than boxing, or so it seems in the past few years.

Sport washing or not, the athletes welcome the money that sets them up for the rest of their lives.

If you gonna get more money from one phone call from the Arabs than for your whole carrier, why not? It's prizefighting at the end of the day. Sounds to me that someone is sore talking because he is left out of
fhe picture.

The heavyweights aren’t the best boxers, though. Not at this point in time.

Far from it, actually.

Heavyweight Division is absolute trash though if you're a boxing fan. It's good for casuals because it produces KO's, but if you're a fan of the sport it's probably the least important division for the last 15-20 years.

I'm far more excited for Inoue/Tapales than Wilder/Parker

well not from a skill p.o.v - but from p.o.v who would win in a mythical matchup they are
