    Good card if it happens. Two fights I want to see. I don’t know if they are taking over boxing.

    I mean Tank, Canelo, Spence, Crawford would all sell out Saudi as well. They would also sell well here.

    I wonder what Usyk v Fury would do here? Bivol v Bieterbiev would be an undercard fight as well here.

    Saudi money has given fans some truly great fights. Let’s hope it keeps happening.

Other than that gripe, the Saudis mean business.
      Agree. The TV product is extremely bland. A hot, boisterous crowd makes for a better atmosphere and TV product imo.

        Could just slowly start faking crowd noises lol

        Japan is the same btw. It sucks not having better atmosphere but the best are fighting the best. Hopefully the improvement of the crowd will happen over time.

          I think they were actually pumping in artificial crowd noise during the 5 v 5, and it sounded really bogus. It almost makes me want to watch a boxing match with a laugh track.

              This is an insane card. God damn I'm hyped
              I just read this fight is confirmed for Oct 18th
              Would be crazy to put both these fights on one card for the promoter but great for fans
              I just can’t wait for King Artur to dispose of feather fisted Bivol

                Tank Canelo Spence Crawford wouldn't be allowed to fight mostly bums in Saudi. That's the point.

                Great fights sell out anywhere usually. But those guys you've mentioned just fight bum after bum after bum because let's be honest, black American boxing fans treat this thing as a tribal popularity contest and would pay to watch one of their guys beat up on a pack of air conditioning repair men lmao which is actually what we just witnessed with Wilders career.

                  Ok. Then they’d surely do the same numbers in SA.

                  No they don’t. People like you just whine because you’re extremely jealous they have cultivated a fan base among their own.

                  Look at the hate and anger in this post.

                  Meanwhile, Arum and other promotions do this same thing with Polish, Mexican and Puerto Rican boxers. You aren’t mad at all.

                  Let your jealousy go.

                      Jealous of the success of the boxers.


                      Look at your post. Why are you so angry about and critical of why these boxers fans like watching them and support them through ticket and ppv sales?

                      That is what is strange.
