Will Turki Alalshiki make Saudi Arabia the Mecca of Boxing?

He's doing what all the promoters refused to do, while starting to make SA the future mecca of boxing.

In all honesty, I could care less if the biggest fights aren't in the U.S. anymore. Promoters been scamming fans for the last 3 decades if not more. Fck em. Al, Bob, Oscar, Hearn, Warren, etc....

Alalshik has the means, its good for fans

The minute they get viewed , the country itself , in a better light , then they will move on imo
Sportwashing is what they are doing

Sounds like what youa re saying is a probability no doubt man.

Let's see how this all evolves

Too bad Don King will be 93 next August. I would have loved to see him dealing with the other King, via Turki.

Yeah, Don King is history in regards to the current era of the sport.

This is exactly what moved me to make this post.

Same here, I don't care where the fights are held, as long as I can witness them and see the best matchups possible.

And it looks like these promoters are all jumping on the train too.

Yes and it doesn't matter what people say about the atmosphere. Fighters will follow the money.

The dynamic of American fighters with Americam promoters fighting non-Americans with American judges and refs, in front of American crowds and media is cancer and resulted in an insane amount of robberies. Same with British sometimes too.

With Saudi take over we should get a much fairer competition with mixed judges and neutral media/refs

Pretty interesting points!

This can very well be the case

Is this still a question? I'd say he has done.

It is way too early to determine that though.

I would say a while longer to determine that

Promoters smell money, Alalshik Wipes his ass with it lol.

I'm def excited for more of these types of fights/events happening.

Well , I think we all see the play
Things don’t happen by accident

A heavyweight division would be dead without Saudis, that is for sure.

Can he do something for a welterweight division, that is a wasteland right now? But it is also the truth there are no lucrative names right now at 147..
