Comments Thread For: With 'Latino Night' heading to Saudi Arabia what's left for the US fight fan?

[CasperUK]

I have been asking this question for over a year now and have never received an answer. What big fights has Turki-boy blessed us (Americans) with? What are these so called classics that he has paid for that the American promoters couldn't? The Bud vs Madrimov show in LA that lost 10 milly? Noooooo! Fury vs Usyk? Noooooo! The MR vs Queens 5x5? Nooooo! The AJ vs Francis show? Nooooo! Those were all shows that made sense to do in Saudi and not America. Bud never fought a big fight outside of Nebraska other than the Spence fight in Vegas so it was no surprise that it would fail in LA. Fury vs Usyk in Saudi is no different than AJ vs Klitschko in London. Those fight make way more dollars and cents....I mean sense, over in the UK than they do in the US. So someone please tell me what is Turki-boy doing that is so spectacular that would make the American audience take notice?

Americans promoters should step in and fill the gap then

I don't hate the Saudis I actually respect them very much They used the fact that they are the world's gas station and they bullied there way onto the world's economic conversation when others didn't want them there. I just wish they would stay in their lane when it comes to sports. They are doing more harm than good to the sport of boxing which they don't care about but if you are in the US or UK then you care very much about it because this is the sport we love to death!

Turki seems to be a boxing fan and I love the fact they are putting on fights rival promoters usually take forever to. Guys are either stepping up and getting paid or not
