This writer, David Griesman (no surprises here) writes, “Many critics call this effort sportswashing that is intended to change the narrative about the country and its human rights record.”

He leaves out the part that the US executes people the same way Saudi Arabia does. Two by Nitrogen Hypoxia which has been deemed a human rights violation by every human rights agency on the planet including every single one in the US.

We still get to host the World Cup and many other international events to sportswash our human rights record.

The kettle calling the pot black! But it’s Griesman so yeah.

Why a whole year wait?

He said it because he said Riyadh Season ends in March and then starts October.

But it is irrelevant.

The Riyadh Season that runs October-March for events, for boxing Riyadh Season is basically the brand name now for all year boxing, we have seen cards like 5 vs 5 and Fury vs Usyk between April-Oct so outside of the "official" Riyadh Season.

As if anyone in the world cares when " Riyadh Season " is. It's not a real season like Summer , or Winter. It can be whenever Turki says it is.
Have any of y'all ever vacationed in Saudi , or have any plans or wishes to do so ? What's there to do there anyway ?

Why wait when Beterbeiv is 40?

Just do it now. No reason to wait.

That's exactly why, though. Same reason Canelo waited out GGG four years for the trilogy.

I don’t think that makes sense when Bob Arum is Beterbievs promoter.

Doesn’t make sense for them to wait another year.

I don't think Bob is the one making them wait, I think Bob is relaying that the Saudis and Hearn intend to wait.

If Bivol beats 40 old Beterbiev one year from now, he won`t get a credit by me.

Beterbiev edged it by 7-5 in rounds in the first tight IMO.
