Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol II set for February 22 in Riyadh

[SouthpawRight]

Am I in the minority who would prefer most of these fights to headline seperate cards in actual fight city arenas with a killer fan atmosphere compared to this 6 hour drawn out Saudi ad event with a ****ty atmosphere ? Vergil in Texas always special, Dubois Parker packed o2 arena, Beterbiev Bivol in Vegas, Sheeraz in front of 10k drunk uk fans etc etc find these cards to drag the f on and suck the life out of the fights.

The atmosphere and pacing should be Turki's next priority. If you want to do concerts and game shows, fine. Keep the game show portion to about two minutes tops and allow your musical guest ONE song, and it needs to be a ****er. Encourage the crowd to stand on their ****ing feet once in a while. Maybe offer them a free brewski or a hit of some kush, anything to make some noise.

For the time being Turki events are the best value for your money

under 30 bucks for this PPV wow

David-David on Feb 1

then Bivol-Artur only 4 weeks later

Turki wants Bivol-David B

Bivol will have to win by a comfortable clear margin or stoppage

[SouthpawRight]

Bivol Artur Part 2 will be the most important fight of 2025

as the original was the main match of 2024

For trying to make profit? Saudi-Arabia do this for publicity, but definitely at a direct loss financially.

True but they dont seem to be concerned about profit at this stage.

This looks like a great card. Lots of solid fights.

[BrankoB]

So Ortiz - Madrimov ? No Xander ? If so things are moving fast.

I am puzzled by the same thing. Conflicting stories within a day of each other.

Anyway, that is the best card ever. So many even match ups that could go either way.

[Mammoth]

Cards like this simply show what a joke PBC, Golden Boy, Top Rank and Matchroom are.

I don't get it
