      The Saudis entering the scene pushes a lot of boundaries:
      Big purses make fighters who otherwise might avoid each other more willing to accept
      Promoters are more open to high-risk/high-reward matchups
      It also means “best fight the best” can happen faster, before careers drift or fighters age out
      That said, money alone doesn’t guarantee greatness. The match has to make sense technically, stylistically, and for the fans. Sometimes the mismatch of styles or overhyping for financial gain leads to disappointing outcomes.​

            My fear is prospects lose out.on.proving themselves, and only big reputations get chance and others overlooked. Some might have to be verbal to get attention bakole did well to get Parker with a bit of verbal diahorea

              A lot of obnoxious fans think it’s fear. So it’s not as obvious as you say, to EVERYBODY. You might find it obvious, but a lot of fans will claim a fighter won’t fight someone no matter the amount of money involved.

                The Saudis won't pump this kind of money into boxing forever, in fact they are already slowing down. The undercards are getting weaker, the big fights getting more spread out.

                Saudi now have a lot more going on than in the early days of Ruiz vs AJ 2, they don't need boxing that much.

                Initially they got into boxing with the aim of presenting the AJ vs Fury undisputed fight, Usyk ruined those plans, they still want to put that fight on and will try and get some sort of belt on the line for it, I'm expecting Fury vs Wardley then Fury vs AJ after that tbh.
