Has anyone here been to a fight in Saudi Arabia?

[The tucker]

Well said...why pay for flights, hotels and fight tickets to watch a fight in a BORING atmosphere when you can't even let your hair down and enjoy yourself properly without the fear of getting arrested?

I've been to several fights in Vegas (including Pacquiao-Marquez 4) and not only has the atmosphere been ELECTRIC every single time, the opportunity to go clubbing and g@mbling makes it even more worthwhile!

Nothing beats a big fight in Vegas atmosphere. Mayweather vs Canelo was the biggest fight I personally been too and tank vs ryan was nice too. All those Saudi fights look lifeless.

I love booze, weed, and casual intercourse with both women and men. So hell no, I ain't going to no Saudi Arabia.

The other thing is Beterbiev Bivol started around 2am. I thought that was late but was still good atmosphere and fight.

Saudis got it up in Riyadh for Bivol-Tiger Paw Artur Part 2

That was special fight between two ATGs

It was the most pumped I ever seen the Saudis

So Turki demands part 3

I sat in the Mexican section during Pacquiao-Marquez 4 and although part of me wanted to DIE after Manny got KO'd, I can't deny that the hysteria and jubilation from the Mexican fans was other-wordly. I've never experienced anything like it at ANY sporting event since.

Lol...the first time he got dropped was shocking but the KO that came shortly after was totally unthinkable. The only other time I've been equally stunned during a fight is when McGregor KO'd Aldo in 13 seconds.

When i went most the arena were fans that have also travelled from abroad. Lot of UK fans lot of Bivol fans even Parker fans had flown all the way from NZ. I think Riyadh is a good experience but go when there is a card that has a few good fights. Also the timing is an issue if there are more 6am ringwalk that isn't good for fans there and neither can fighters be at their best walking to the ring at 6am. If in Feb they have another stacked card (guessing Canelo will headline) might go again. The issue with having american/american based fighters is the big time diff i think 10 hours Vegas and Riyadh. So making it primetime for US for tv views is good for exposure there but not the best for fans and fighters going to Saudi
