Comments Thread For: Arum, De La Hoya, Hearn, Warren Look To Saudi Arabia To Stage Boxing's Most Expensive Fights

[Oldskoolg]

Wait a minute here, where are all the opponents of PPV? I thought PPV was dead? I thought dazn was going to end PPV? This looks to take boxing and make it ENTIRELY along the PPV model, how does this in any way help grow the sport in the usa? Hell how does it even grow or sustain the sport for the future in the U.K.? I’m glad to see the one true American based promotion was not included./ big thanks to Al Haymon and the pbc for getting thy Amazon agreement, that is literally the last hope for boxing in the usa. If pbc fails to make that work then Saudi Arabia is it, and boxing will be totally out of the hands of the average American sports fan

You mean to tell me you guys want the future of boxing to be relocated to the middle east, come on at 2pm Saturday afternoon and we have to pay 39.99$ for every card. Is thus what you imbeciles want???

That day of reckoning BS didn't even do 20k Ppv buys in America. What donyou think regular cards will do. This Saudi adventure will be no more that east Europe vs west Europe without Pbc and they know it. Beterbiev vs Bivol will do 5k buys in America. And before you rejects say "America isn't the whole world" stop because you know Dazn and Saudi wants America they could give a fuq about the rest of the world...deal with it cupcake

Thanks Al Haymon for being the savior of American boxing by teaming up with a blue chip American boxing to showcase American boxing in America.

Tank vs Ryan just did 1.4 mill Ppv buys and made 24 mix dollar gate with total revenue of about 125 mill with both fighters earning around 30 and 50 mill respectively in front of a raucous black and Mexican American crowd of knowledgeable boxing fans. Why da fuq would they want to ruin everything they built up just to go ruin it in the middle east?

Did I fail to mention that Saudi Arabia was the country where 15 out of the 19 hijackers that crashed the planes into the WTC on 9/11 originated from?

Hearn keeps talking big fights in Saudi. What big fights man? You have no one on your roster man. AJ got beat up in America by a fat Mexican. Devin is not a lifelong MR fighter. No one know Bivol in America. That's all you have going on. That's it!! No big fights my friend. Now that Wilder has shyte the bed no Aj v Wilder is next. You're done in the States. You're getting boxed out in the UK and now you are trying to regroup in Saudi in front of a bunch of fans who don't know what the hell they're looking at. You're trying g torture them into something they're not. What's next? Is the National Crickett conference in India going to relocate their headquarters to Mississippi?

Bot this article has just summed up the last 5 years perfectly. For the love of God if you are an American boxing fan please drop Dazn to make them completely leave and pray for Amazon to do a deal with top rank so we can have all out boxing on one network!!

[Boxviewer]

The bottom line is that America has lost it's spot as the Mecca of boxing. They killed all big fights with their A-side, other street and network bullsheet. I am glad the Saudis are making the fights boxing fans want to see possible.
