Bivol saw the post by DoubleMM lumping him to Canelo who ducked Benavidez and fought nobodies like Munguia, Berlanga and Scull.

Bivol fought Beterbiev back to back. How you gonna accuse him of ducking Benavidez? Gtfoh!

I think the arrogance of that press conference pissed off the boxing community. Boxing is a free enterprise, it doesn't want, or need, a dictator, or Dana White, and they are going to find that out the hard way as all of the Saudi fights will continue to do terrible numbers in the US, and PBC will continue to pump out high buy rates. Long term, PBC will prevail, it's not about money, it's about understanding the business, and the Saudi boxing king does not. This card coming together on the heels of his announcement is proof of that.

High buy rates ???
Source ???
I ain’t close to being a fan of Dana fughin White but I recall the same thing being said when he finally took over the reigns for UFC
Just don’t understand how
PBC would profit from this

It's a matter of public record, who has sold more PPV Buys in the last two years? The Saudis, or PBC? Within the last year? 6 months, PBC pumps out more PPV buys at a higher rate, and they traditionally give fighters the lion share of those profits. A league can't come close to replicating that, in fact the fighters in the league will be the most underpaid prizefighters in decades. Bivol will make more money, gain more main****** footing, fighting Benavidez in Vegas, not some in makeshift stadium in the Middle East.

Do you understand what a "matter of public record" means? Did you go to college? It means critical thinking, research, confirmed reports. You are lazy to the point that you won't even fact check me yourself, you want me to do it for you. Come on dude.
