The good thing is that all fighters will have to be clean per their rule of law. If you pull that shtt off over there what Cryan Quitcia did here they will hang your ass.

[SteveM]

You think they would hang him publicly like they do over there?

nope, might cut his tongue out or castr-eight him though

I like these fights but not with Ryan. He shouldn’t be allowed to fight for a while.

Stevenson leaving after this fight so it would have to be Loma.

Yeah Ryan should definitely get banned but we all know he’ll claim contamination and get some insignificant backdated ban. Unless he goes full Conor Benn and makes things way more difficult for himself.

If you read the tweat Oscar is mandating that it happens in Las Vegas not sure how that would go down. Bob seems to want only US and we'd have to see if ESPN would want sole access to the TV. When your spending someone else dime you have to make a lot of allowances and I'm not sure the promoters are willing to bend the knee.

The Saudis seem to always want to own the TV and sell to as many as they like, also Oscra has to apologise to them once already so not sure this will happen .. could be fun though.

Oscar De La Hoya, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, has thrown his support behind the idea of a 5 vs 5 tournament, this time with his company against U.S. rival promotion Top Rank Inc., headed by Bob Arum.

Oscar better stay away from the country of Saudi - either his mouth or his habits will get him into trouble there

Lmfao. Yeah they don’t take kindly to his lifestyle.

Entertaining to watch these promoters ********** themselves for a chance at that Saudi money. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy evenly matched, cross promotional fights but it's enlightening to see all the previously claimed hurdles to these fights instantly disappear when Saudi money is at play.

Saudi money talks...BS takes a long walk

5 vs 5 Top Rank vs GBP would be held in Las Vegas

I can't imagine a 5v5 would happen with Riyadh Season greasing the wheels with their money. The Saudi push is extending out to the US and UK this summer but, as you point out, the big hurdle will be the broadcasting rights...
