[Fact]

Probox owned Boxingscene has been running propaganda and hit-piece after hit-piece against Turki Alalsheikh, his events and his country for the last couple of years and then act surprised when they rightfully get banned from their events.

Rightfully banned, huh? For telling the truth of matters? Tell me, what "propaganda" is BoxingScene running?

Saudis aren't used to freedom of the press , or freedom at all. Either you fall in line with the powerful or you will suffer the consequences.

Precisely what is going on in the US and UK today.
Whistleblowers are getting arrested, the press (targeted ones) is banned from many political events including the highest office, people are getting canceled left, right and center for expressing any opposing opinions, government officials are getting fired for criticizing or questioning the powers that be etc.
The difference is Saudi Arabia has NEVER once bragged to be the greatest country in the world nor have they championed freedom of press or democracy nor invaded another country (except of course for the US-led war in Yemen).

So, once again, how are they any different from us or rather, how are we better than them?

The tentacles of Saudi-financed and directed oppression reach into the very heart of boxing, at a spectacle event in the US, no less.
Dark days ahead for all of us if we don't protect our freedom in all it's forms

Freedom of the press = freedom of the rich and powerful who own the press to impose their ideas and opinions that reinforce and maintain their riches and power.

I don't think they are surprised... but they do feel there is injustice, yes.

Let me know when we have prisons full of political dissenters being tortured and killed , let me know when we can't vote or protest , when we have a KING , can't have a ****tail or ten . There might be an Orange ******* trying to accomplish what you are claiming but we can resist without being murdered or imprisoned. We are far from being Saudi Arabia. If you can't figure out how a Democracy is better than a Theocratic Kingdom , I don't know what to tell you. Maybe try thinking sometime instead of being so dramatic and emotional. Does Turki pay you for the defense of the Kingdom ?


You can respond or don't , I don't really care. I'm not going to read it anyway.
