Comments Thread For: What Would a Saudi-Backed, Singular Boxing League Look Like?

[Oregonian]

I hate monopolies. And if they follow the UFC format, it means fighters won’t get paid as much as they are now and those at the top of the league will be the ones raking in the most money. Like Dana in company in the UFC. Also, “super fights” will be diluted because the best fighting the best will happen in such short frequency’s that there won’t be enough time to marinate a fight to make it a big deal. I’m against this. I’m not a fan of letting a fight marinate for ages but giving it time to breath and to become a big deal is what makes boxing so intriguing. We got Spence vs Crawford when the stakes were as high as ever. I’m against letting promoters get the large chunks of cash that belong to the fighters that are actually risking their lives.

I take it you have no clue what the Saudis have done with their soccer league.
Saudi league is the highest paying league in the world. Ronaldo at 39 is the highest paid soccer player on planet earth.
Not a single player is underpaid. You can look it up yourself
