      It's prizefighting. He who has the prize makes the rules. Literally always been that way. ... kind in the rules name and everything.

      Oh no some new rich guy in the mix, this has never ever happened before in all the thousands of years boxing has existed as a prizefighting sport sponsored by rich people who coax poor people into beating up one another for their money and favors. Oh gee is this a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know because it is so, so, unprecedented.

      Who TF even is Captain Barclay, Richard K Foxx, Lords Byron or Byrom, Gentleman John Jackson, and so on such names that monopolized boxing for themselves

      Who paid for the Greeks to train

      Who was it that changed the rules and made gloved boxing a thing again for the first time since roman boxing?

      I mean it's such a new thing for rich dudes to be interested in boxing and using their money to make changes there's no history at all for this or any insights to learn from it

        The start of good news or bad news ?
        Ou be te judge
        I like the fights in SA. They got the money to make em happen. If there's a clear winner between beter/bivol, there's no reason for them stick around lt heavy imo

          We don’t stage mass executions, exploit foreign migrants, actively discriminate against women, gays, different religions etc.

          No government is perfect, but Saudi are far worse than most. It’s a backward sh**hole stuck in the dark ages.
          A women is safer walking alone there then they are in the US and UK. Exploit foreign migrants? They were all paid better, Qatar was made a big deal but there were more deaths in UK building sites if you average out how many died in terms of what was building in te time frame Qatar built everything for the WC. You might want to look at a lot of stores in UK/US and see where the clothes etc are made, by exploited foreign workers in Asia, underpaid and under worse conditions then workers in Qatar. US also have the death penalty so double standards people that go on about Saudi and their death penalty. US/UK people over and over the governments show how they are the biggest t***rists, how they don't give af about regular people yet you will still defend them. No government in the world is worse than the US, but a lot of you brainwashed to think they are the world police when they are the worls biggest crooks. UK not far behind

            I'm not going to defend Saudi, but boxing has been hosted away from home fans, in the desert, for ethically questionable reasons for a long time. No-one questioned it.

            I hope we still see 'home' fights. Those big Joshua nights at Wembley were awesome.

            But it's not like these fights would have happened without Saudi involvement.

              I’m not defending anyone. You are. All I’m saying is Saudi Arabia is a backward archaic sh**hole and its human rights record supports that.
