    Oh now that is rich considering it'd put him out of a job.

    If the Saudis had a register which boxers could sign up for specifying which division/weight and a clear PED test certificate, it'd be easier to make tournament fights at least 4 times a year.

    2 around the globe and 2 over the cooler Saudi season.

      Some truth in Hearn’s take. Seems to the eye test they want big mega events only.

        Sounds like Slow Eddie is trying to keep the Saudis all to himself
        The end of the day it will be their decision what and when
        Fighters will take money from anyone as long as it suits them
        Can’t see the reasoning for Slow Eddie to come out with this statement but ...........

          Sounds like The Fast One greased the wrong palm with Skills Challenge and is now on the outer with Bonesaw and the 2 Turkis.

            Ya why would he start talking contrary to what Al turkis hope and vision is? Even if it doesn’t come to fruition they will throw lots of money at attempting it so why talk negatively? He just loves the sound of his own voice lol

              All the Sauds have to do is sponsor a tournament with say a 5 mil prize with 2 qualifying fights over a year and every man and his dog would sign up.

              If Mohammed wont go to the mountain, bring the mountain to Mohammed.

                Wouldn’t be to surprised
                Just witnessing what he’s done with Dazn pretty much tells the Saudis he’s not there man
                Also , I’d think they’d wanna bring in someone who can be molded to their liking

                  Cut from the same cloth even. A Daniel Kinahan type character perhaps ?
