[BoxingUpdates]

Following a weekend of heightened drama connected to the U.S. debut Riyadh Season card in Los Angeles, the fallout/backlash has provoked a search for solutions and peace this week.

How’s about Turki keeps treading and let the pieces fall where they may
Making the shows shorter and fights happening faster in between fights is the problem to fix
Also we can do without the concerts
I’m hoping this was just for his initial coming out party

"...its in-ring induction into the Nevada Hall of Fame for a man (Alalshikh) who’s never staged a fight there..."

That's wild disrespectful!!!!

We already know what we get from Canelo cards:

*A main event against an opponent with little realistic chance of beating him.

*Undercard fights that are relatively poor because almost all of the money has to go to pay Canelo’s excessive purse.

*A lengthy, tiresome, excessive mariachi band performance for Canelo’s ring entrance.

*An arena full of Canelo fanboys/suckers who gladly allow themselves to be milked just to be under the same room as their hero.

*Ever-decreasing PPV buys for his overpriced fights.

And these idiots are complaining about Turki giving them TOO MANY good fights and A-list performers in a single night?????

Good grief. Some of the simple-minded fans who post on this site - and simple-minded boxing analysts - are beyond hope.

"it’s conceivable boxing will put its fans through pay-per-view fatigue." That's pure comedy, there. When I was younger, I had friends that were into boxing. Nowadays, I don't know anybody who follows boxing.

I agree but I don’t look at these things as very realistic
He got a piece of paper which don’t mean chit

I loved the quality of fights, but they really need to work on keeping the show moving. I don't want to see a car giveaway. I don't want to see any buttt kissing ceremonies. I don't need to see a musical act. It's like they are trying to do too much. Anything more than 15 minutes between fights is excessive.

I remember the days when PPVs were for special fights. Now you have a PPV every other week and it's starting cost more per month than a car payment

Nobody is giving ultimatums to Canelo .His response to Saudi pressure is “ I’m good “
