Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: Saudi Arabia Has 'Taken Over From Vegas' As The World Capital For Boxing

[DClefthook]

Atmosphere is part of the game. So Saudi is picking off the big fights? I couldn't afford to go those anyway. The fights I can afford will still be there.

Big fights that the world stops for = May v Pac (600 mill 4.6 mill Ppvs) .. Mayweather vs Mac ( 600 mill 4.3 ppv) .. De la hoya vs ... Tyson vs .. Canelo vs ... Holyfield vs ... and the list goes on and on and on. Even Wilder vs Fury hit 1 mill PPVs. Please oh please tell me what BIG FIGHT that the whole world stopped for that was made in Saudi. Please tell me one fight that was a massive financial success. You guys are so hard own for the demise of anything American that you can't see the forest for the trees (that's an American idiom look it up). I hate to tell you this but for any boxing match to be considered wildly financially successful then one of two things has to happen (1) it has to involve an American or be held in America (2) it has to involve a Brit or be held in the UK. Period!! Usyk vs AJ and Fury I heard were nice fights but they didn't move the needle forward for the sport at all. Vegas is still the king. You know why? Because it's still SIN CITY BABY! Something Saudi will never be. And if any boxing fan from around the world had a choice to go to a fight in Saudi where there is no drinking in public, you can't curse or be loud outside, no fornication with women, etc ... or he could go to Vegas and drink and be shytefaced drunk in public, open air prostitution is not only legal but encouraged, you can gamble all night and party the strip clubs and night clubs , etc....and the very best thing about Vegas is that what happens in Vegas STAYS IN VEGAS YOU IDIOTS!!!

Yes women are allowed to go there were a couple of them in the second row looking at their phones the whole night so dont worry about the women.

I remember when Patsy Kensit was seen ringside for Naseem Hamed's fights. Seems like a lifetime ago.

i wonder if that flies over there in saudi lol. ???
Capital my ass

nooooooooooo!!!!! I have to agree with dis guy??? Nooooooooooo

America has lost its fight capital crown to Saudi, in fact its been dying for an awful long time and it was only natural some other place would overtake it.
I think it all started with the total fan robbery of mayweather vs pacquaio.
Everything changes and empires fall and what we are witnessing is the changing of the guard

The guard hasn't and America is still in charge of everything! Deal with it. Tank and Canelo are the sports two biggest draws and they ain't fighting over there.

No lies detected. I don’t even care about the atmosphere, I love being able to hear the corner instructions throughout the fight. Far better listening to that than some pissed up casual Brits in a stadium fight.

[DClefthook]

I'd rather they weren't there.

If I want to pick up some Ho I will go to a nightclub, I don't go to the boxing for that.

You don't want women to be there? You would rather boxing matches be turned into sausage parties? Whoa!!! I don't know how to help you with that one broski. I love the atmosphere that a boxing match attracts. Men with their finest attire and women with their elegant and oh so sexy evening dresses. Beautiful crowds of all colors man. I love it!!!! And then after the fight we go to the club to get the hoes!!!

I'm just warning you guys to not fall for the banana in the tailpipe. You guys are falling in love with the babe who just walked in the bar with long blonde hair, a sexy face, big tiddies and you guys are fighting over who's gonna buy her a drink but I'm screaming out to you that she's bald headed and wearing a wig, she has a BBL and fake breasts, she has on 5 pounds of make up to hide her hideous face and her breath stinks because she just blew ten guys in the parking lot for 100 bucks. Don't fall for DA-OKIE-DOKE. America (and the UK) is where it's at baby!!

If no one is jealous of the US and we are the "laughing stock" of the world then please tell all your cousins to GTFO of the US and go back home with you! Hordes of invaders breaking through the southern border with more on the way everyday. Millions of illegal aliens walking around stealing jobs amongst other things. Nobody cares if you're jealous or not. Nobody cares about you. Have your Saudi boxing and we will have ours and leave us alone please!!!

not interested in the USA one bit and as for the southern border it’s your own government that you voted in letting them stroll in unchecked….what we are witnessing in real time is the fall of the American empire in real time….both domestically and internationally

I love the atmosphere that a boxing match attracts. Men with their finest attire and women with their elegant and oh so ***y evening dresses. Beautiful crowds of all colors man. I love it!!!! And then after the fight we go to the club to get the hoes!!!

but women were there so I don’t see the point you’re getting at….maybe it’s not what they like and would rather stay away.
At the end of the day it’s comes down to the big fights and the fighters getting paid for it and in that case Saudi are delivering…..its down to the fans to make an atmosphere and all I saw in the 9th round was Saudi blokes jumping out there seats when usyk was battering fury ring post to ring post, so they are catching on quite fast…..even turki was out his seat

The Saudis have definitely made waves but you'd have to be a ****ing complete simpleton to suddenly change your perception of them based on a few sporting events. Also the atmosphere and general aesthetic of these Saudi events is **** compared to the feel that Vegas, New York or the UK can bring. They just dont have the same cultural connection to the sport.
