If and when Sheik Moneybags and the Kingdom bail, who’s gonna pick up the pieces? -

Who cares? His excellency and The Kingdom have given us the biggest fights and pays boxers millions so we just need to do better and pay boxers what they deserve. Not stealing from them. I’m speaking about Top Rank, PBC and Golden Boy promotions. If they were fair, nobody would be going to the greatest Kingdom in the world.

I’ve never had a problem with PPV price’s . YouTube Replays if you can’t afford it .set up YouTube to your smart T.v . It’s like being Live anyway. I still go to my Local to watch a live card even at 60+ year’s if it’s in my time Zone . The Atmosphere is great with knowledgeable boxing fans my age range . Of course there’s always the Gen Zs who believe Mayweather would beat Robinson or Leonard but that’s Okay . PBC is my go to at my local while U.K Saudi are YouTube .Last edited by Bull Pit; 07-18-2025, 02:38 AM.Comment

The only "conflicting"/opposing tones are coming from Garry Jonas's BoxingScene.
If boxing's future on Amazon Prime was so rosy as you're hoping to be, Benavidez wouldn't be allowed to jump on Turki's dick like a starved whore.Comment

I see the criticism, accusations of a dictatorship or monopoly, Saudi money, the morals, but can't say he hasn't made boxing great again, the past two or three years.
The great part refers to the big fights that probably would not have been made by now, such as Bivol and Beterbiev, to name just one of a a fair number of big fights. Some of these fights may never have been done. Usyk and Fury, two fights, I mean, he got that over the line.
Also, major undercard fights that were worthy of headlining, I mean, let's give credit. Even ring magazine, The boxing magazine in history.Comment

I think that Turki is great for the sport of boxing. I'm sure that there's not one fighter complaining about how he's getting paid from him. I've always believed that fighters were underpaid for the risks that they take for the sake of entertaining us sadistic fight fans. They deserve every penny that they're getting from Turki. There is no prize to high to pay to any fighter who risks his health and life in that squared circle. I love boxing and I hold all fighters in high regard. It's nice to know that many more fighters will have a decent life after boxing because of what Turki is doing for them through the sport of boxing. Keep up the good work, Turki.Comment

The Saudis are only here for a short time not a long time. You can tell there is a bigger goal than just throwing money at boxing and all things related while losing money in the process. Once that goal is accomplished, they are out of here. As for me, they 've given us fights that would have never happened in my lifetime so for that I thank Turki and will continue to enjoy the ride for however long it lasts.Comment

The amount of money the Saudis are throwing in you don't see as much promotion because they are taking the loss. I remember when fights were free on TV and boxers were popular. You could see a major headlining event at 4PM on a Sunday. For a long time boxing has been in subscriptions networks and far too many events on ppv that should not be there anyway.
Turki is right in a way that if is more accessible more people will watch, maybe the fanbase will grow that that is a huge investment with no guarantees.Comment
