Just ignored the Indian casinos all together. Fantasy Springs, Pachanga, Soboba, Machatuket, enough to make a dent.

yes all nice boxing venues

Hey licehead hope all is well in grandma's basement. Awwwww are you still mad that Al is still taking Oscar's fighters after all these years. I mean first he ruffed him for his entire roster a decade ago and now he's just strong arming him for the last 1 or 2 fighters he has left. Tell you what I'll ask Al to send Oscar a submersible spatula so him and fake tyt Holly can have some fun in that new hot tub of his. Huh??? What'd you say? You want to join? Gawd you liceheads are disgusting!

No seriousy anyone heard from Glaser Last known whereabouts him and his fat ugly wife got kidnapped in Tijuana trying to party with some underage boys. Ewwwwww

Part of the issue is that boxers want generational wealth to fight a threat. Who has obscene amounts of wealth to throw around? The answer isn't Vegas. They could never land a Bivol vs Beterbiev fight. Those fighters aren't popular enough to risk a large amount of cash. Does anyone know whether the Saudis are making money on these fights? Or are they just willing to buy them regardless of whether they break even?

The only town that held the huge fights consistently throughout the years is Vegas and to a smaller extent NYC. Vegas put on the highest grossing events like Floyd v Manny (600milly) and Floyd v Conor (400milly). Vegas won't host Bivol v Beter because two Ruskies can't sell in Vegas and definitely not on PPV. Saudi is a better place to hold that fight in that part of the world which is closer to their people. Trust Saudi boxing is a flash in the pan that can't be gone soon enough. Their 'gates' will never draw what a Vegas gate can and they can't sell PPVs over there for 90 American dollars. Once they realize that there is no ROI and giving away tens of millions of dollars with no return, this shyte will stop

Yeah, I'd love to know if they are actually somehow making money. Or even breaking even. I do like some of the upcoming fights there. Fury vs Usyk, Beterbiev vs Bivol, and Zhang vs Wilder. Like you said, though, if they aren't making money it will come to a halt.

Hello? Kieran Mulvaney? Are you sure you don't mean Gerry Cooney?
Or do you mean George Clooney? Because I think he's an actor, not a boxer.

As for the saudis... I would never go there, even for a fight. I live in a Democracy...
and while the U.S. may have its problems... pro boxing started in Britain and the U.S.
and I feel more comfortable going to fights here in the U.S. The energy seems better,
and I see it's the same energy in Britain. Long live boxing within the origins of the sport.
