Comments Thread For: Too much boxing: Riyadh Season inadvertently makes the case against 'supercards'

Anyone complaining about this card should perhaps change over to badminton, table tennis or deep throating competitions.
I LOVED this card and I prefer to watch UFC now.
We finally get a good card and these new age women complain about it. Makes sense in today’s world.

If a music spot necessary, get Springsteen. Get rid of a lot of the talking heads and that female jabbering with Porter and anthems. Eliminating these would tighten up the running order. Hadn’t a clue who most of those non boxers, were in the crowd, they were obviously in love with themselves, poor dears!
Can’t complain about the product, after years of famine, the more competitive fights the better. Look at the dross on September 14th in lost wages, would you prefer that PPV?

Groan. Of course someone not satisfied. Stfu and let us enjoy the boxing we’ve missed out on for years.
maybe the concert could’ve been held earlier and this was missing some flyweights and a women’s fight but overall im satisfied with my purchase and I hope they keep it up. I’ll continue to support them.

I think people of different generations might view this differently. I, for one, was particularly bothered to see the Saudi flag (or at least its image) and hear the Saudi national anthem played over a major sporting event in the US. I didn't like it and I don't want to see it again. Only the flags of the competitors and the host nation should be flown in these kind of events.

I agree with you about the Saudi anthem being played at a US sporting event because I’m a patriot and a veteran at that but it’s understandable because they did fund the event so I have no major protests. I thought of it as -thanks for money- from the event organizers.

IDK, I don't accept money as a justification. I am a fierce patriot and veteran as well. In my view (which use to be a traditional view), any time a foreign flag is flown in the United States, it better be flown alongside and beneath the Stars and Stripes.

IDK, in my view, he's a bit of a cornball who somebody gave a big bag of gold. He's not so knowledgeable fo the sport from where I sit. As Eric Raskin notes, he's simply well-funded. Nothing more.

The feel of this event was like having a guest at your home and kissing his @$& because he had money and bought everyone pizza. I’ll continue to have him over because because he’s getting pizza.

Is this a parody site? Does the author understand that people come here to read and react to boxing. Go cry to someone else. Boxingscene has fallen off a damn cliff with the opinion pieces.

I agree. I could not believe what I was reading. This is a boxing site and the author just shaaat on everything that has been good recently in boxing. We have been getting great match ups, great fights, great cards - things that haven't happened EVER are finally happening and he is biiitching about it??? What has happened to Boxing Scene? This is really an old man wanting to control the world to his liking and bitterly complaining about everyone and everything.

People who call these "supercards" should have been around in the 90s for the Don King Shows, where Tyson might headline and you would have JCC, Fenech, Azumah, Ricardo Lopez, on one card.

King may have been a crook who stole from his fighters and killed two men, but he steamed a good ham.

That takes me back...to Utica.
