Comments Thread For: Report: Dmitry Bivol and David Benavidez closing in on fight agreement

[MulaKO]

Do you understand what a "matter of public record means?". Did you go to college? It's 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.

So it’s public opinion, ok then
Is this public a bunch of nuthuggers pulling for a promotional outfit cause that’s what it sounds like to me
They all seem content with the money in Saudi
But yeah wtv YOU say

Ok public opinion is sounding more like nuthugging for a promotional outfit
Fighters don’t seem to be complaining about the money being made in Saudi land
FFS even cinnamon has gone overboard but yet here YOU are telling us something that just isn’t there
No need to go to college to see your way
So tell me how much are their ppv worth to you ???
Why don’t you show
us your ppv buys since all you got is public opinion

Let see if Ben has a better jab and footwork than Artur

Lmfao is this a joke?

Problem with this fight is it’ll be a PBC promoted event and Bivol with a penchant for decisions is very likely to get the short end of any close rounds. If I was Bivol I would accept but I would want his own promoter to be the lead etc. I don’t trust haymon at all after the last tank fight

Nice summer fight!

If it's a PBC card, Bivol will have to win eleven rounds just to get a 115-113 decision, just like Eddie tried to rob him against Canelo. No one wants to see this garbage fight because it will just look like a replay of the Canelo and Zurdo fights.

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.

PBC has never cut a profit. Please leave the fentanyl alone.

Have you ever heard the phrase “FU Money”? When you have that kind of money, you don’t give a rat’s ass about cost and numbers. So Turki is never going to “learn the hard way” about losing money.
Have you ever heard of Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema? They are the highest paid soccer players in the world and in history - guess where they play? Saudi Arabia.
You think the “dictators” are investing so they can recoup their investments?

More important, why is almost every boxer going to Saudi Arabia? Including the proverbial cash cow Canelo? TO GET PAID. A LOT OF MONEY. Money that PBC can’t afford to pay their guys.

You just don’t like Saudi Arabia. And nobody cares, we are getting the fights that we want.

dead ass I’m thinking about Bena’s chances here

Artur struggled because he couldn’t consistently cut Bivol off

I guess David can’t based off of Plant fight and your response

Bivol when he was a nobody got the decision against Alvarez who was the most judge protected fighter

Bena PPVs doing only 150k buys

[Oregonian]

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 mainstream footing, fighting Benavidez in Vegas, not some in makeshift stadium in the Middle East.

One more time, Saudi Arabia does not give a shït about profit. Thats like you criticizing Turki for owning a gold plated private jet. It’s his money and he can do whatever he wants to do.
The Saudi Soccer league is now the highest paying league in the planet. Are they making a profit? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
It’s called FU MONEY!
