    Why hasn’t the US developed a health plan for boxers? Joe Louis was American and we left him to the vultures. Had he been fighting in Saudi Arabia today, he would be super wealthy.
    Had Joe Louis been fighting in Saudi Arabia today they would have been treating him like any other black melanated or African looking person....like shyte! Stop acting like the Arabs aren't some of the most racist hateful people on the planet man!

      Ok. So how about you respect Saudi Arabia for staging the big fights, paying boxers what they deserve and using their money to make guys not duck one another? That is about sports. When you throw in other wild accusations, you are pulling double standards.
      As for your last statement, I can appreciate your patriotism but it just means you have no issues with what we don’t other poor non-white nations. Own it.
      I own the imperfect USA and I want it better but it’s still the best place to live on this planet for the majority of people .

            Best place to what? Wake up babe, US nowadays is the most unsafe and dangerous place to live. In the meantime a handful of billionaires are controlling the bad so called "government" and keeping the Americans disinformed just like you are on what's really going on around the globe...Poor boy!

              If that is the case then why are millions of people every year risking their lives to leave their homeland d for a chance to thrive in America?

                  That is great in the short term but the problem is its not sustainable and all promoters cannot do this which means not everyone can get saudi money and you will get fighters who didnt get on saudi cards waiting it out until they get picked.

                  dont get me wrong i know its been great the last 2 years but we seen this before with DAZN. If the prince looses interest in boxing at any time or if something happens like a war ect that diverts their attention and the Saudi fights stop then boxers are going to be out pricing themselves like after DAZN had to start trying to be profitable.
                  This is not the same. The Saudis won’t run out of money like DAZN.

                    Reported by Reuters now, seems legit.

                    American Witness Protection Programme days are numbered.

                    2025/26 could begin the era of Fraud humbling

                      At no point did I say Arabs were saviors of the world. All I said was the US is no different from Saudi Arabia.
                      We incarcerate more black peoples than whites, black peoples are three times more likely to be shot by cops than white. The list of prejudices against them is endless. These are facts.

                      The bottom line is boxers are getting paid more now than ever. BY ARABS not the white establishments here. We are here because we love boxing. Don’t you want them to get paid?
