not saying it's true but what made you come up with this theory when gold and oil is like paper and water over there.

Gold and water may be like paper and water over there but it pales in comparison to the money generated in America. Do you know how much it costs to be the world's police department? In 2023 the GDP of Saudia Arabia was 1.47 trillion..in 2023 the GDP of America was 29.24 trillion. Not even close son. Don't be fooled because a few Princes or Sultans get to make a video showing them buy 50 bentleys at one time or because you have to call a naked dude in a dress 'your excellency' just to make him feel good. Again smoke and mirrors son....smoke and mirrors!

There is zero atmosphere at Saudi fights the whole arena is like dead.

Its awful

Very true, but I wouldn’t head out there to watch a fight. When watching boxing on tv I don’t care about the atmosphere. It’s different though when you’re in the arena/stadium watching live boxing. If I was a boxer I’d choose to fight where they paid me the most money and that’s just how it is.

Let me ask all the white Americans something. If Dana White says they are packing up and moving the entire UFC apparatus to Saudi because they pay more and there will never be any top UFC shows in America again how will you feel about that?

1. If Rome had 4,200 intercontinental ballistic warheads then they would still be an empire. 2. China will never overtake the US but its great to know you are rooting for them. 3. Yes the quality of life is real good in western Europe (not so much in the east) because the US military has 8 Army garrisons spread throughout Europe from Germany to Belgium, Poland, Italy, The Balkans and the black sea. The US Air force has over 80 installations spread throughout Europe from the UK to Norway Portugal Spain and more. So the fact that you feel safe and have a great quality of life means you should thank every US soldier you see for doing something you couldn't do which is protect you from communism and fascism. YOURE WELCOME you ungrateful son of a bytch. Oh but I do apologize for the millions of war babies we left behind. But you gotta admit Zazie Beetz is a cutie pie!

This how brainwashed most Americans are now. They think going to war with China will not affect them because it's far from the mainland.

I see Pelosi provoking another Ukraine in Taiwan. These people really actually think their lives will not be affected. Their provocative media is adding fuel to the fire. These people are crazy. Many shipping lanes are in that region. They better get ready for food shortages and many essential products coming from that region. I mean WE better get ready because not one part of the globe will not be affected. Once a spark starts get ready for a huge conflagration. While I also live in North America, I worry about massive shortages of basic necessities, milk, bread, eggs...grocery store shelves getting wiped clean, people in long lines...

They provoked the war in Ukraine, yet their focus is short-lived. Their media will have a field day covering the war for 2 weeks to a month, then it quickly shifts to the Oscar Awards or some famous actor passing and cover them 24/7. Meanwhile, thousands of refugees with young kids and old folks in the middle of nowhere became homeless not knowing what to do. And here Americans talking about who won the Oscar.

Saudis are here to give us some the most expensive fights that will be hard to make without them. Fury - Usyk at first place. Somebody from boxing also suggested them that hardcore fans want Bivol - Beterbiev, because it is undisputed light heavy clash, so they will very likely make this one also.
