      I think my favorite thing so far was Opetaia vacating his new title to fight a mismatch on the Saudi dime. Could use a lot more of the alphabet organizations learning that they're not essential, especially if they're not going to follow their own rules.

        Man...nobody knows Canelo here. He is as known as Benavidez, Bivol, Beterbiev, Crawford. Meaning..you must find boxing hardcores to talk about these guys.

        I am sorry if I hurt your feelings.

          They'll put everyone out of business and buy TV networks and contracts and then frontrun all deals

            Well, they are severely overpaying Diva Fury, so you never know.

              Fury is a heavyweight champ. Very different thing.

                Saudi's have already said they'd rather see David B fight the Bivol/Benavidez winner rather than Canelo.


                So David will get a Saudi check at least lmfao

                    They are not running a business expecting a return on their investment. The Saudi Fund is set up as a propaganda machine to improve perceptions of the country.

                    They have billions to burn across boxing, MMA, golf, WWE and soon probably the NBA and NFL.

                    They can throw big money around because they don’t care about a live gate or PPV return. Some fights can get made but I would still be wary of giving up American sports to the Saudi’s.
