Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz-Anthony Joshua II Confirmed For 12/7, Saudi Arabia

[*Makaveli*]

How the hell did he blink? There more money to hold it in Saudi Arabia then in Cardiff.

If no SA, then Cardiff it is. Ruiz has no sayso....he signed the contract.

Ruiz has no say so except he said no to Cardiff and Eddie obeyed

Who says it's not gonna be in US-friendly time zone? They can fight at noon local time, Saudis don't care.

Saudi Arabia is 7 hours ahead of Eastern Time. What would noon local time accomplish?

[James Hunt]

Yea right next to every hand cutting off booth.

Is there any nutty laws mfers going to this fight need to know so they don't die while going to see this fight.

I think it's a greater chance to get killed in the US than SA or put in prison. You're #1 in both cases.

Well I guess Hearn was right about 1 thing.....

He definitely made the rematch before DLH would make a Saul fight!

As for AJ/Ruiz II, may the best man win!

This is a brilliant move to build a brand. Who doesn't want to be attached to a regime that beheads people in soccer stadiums because they are gay or sends goon squads to beat the **** out of women because they went to the mall without their older brother? Or kills a journalist in foreign countries and dismembers their bodies?

And where is DAZN? A fight that is 4pm East coast and 1pm on the West coast is sure to drive subscribers and views. While the 5 hours difference with England is not ideal at least their crowds make it an experience to watch. Have they not seen what the Saudi audience experience is like?

it's Americas Business partner Saudi Arabia.

Least of your concern is whether or not they like boxing

If they're building their own stadium in a suburb, they can probably have it any local time they want.
I say ringwalks at 2:30 AM in Saudi Arabia, 12:30 AM in London, 7:30 PM Eastern would maximize viewership.

The SEC championship game gets about 15 million viewers and it kicks off at 3:30 PM Eastern on Dec 7th, so it should finish in time. DAZN could push advertising hard during the game and try to get some subscriptions.

Yea but mfers at least know the rules in the US. Mfer might bump into a girl in SA & now they gotta stone her cuz she's been touched by a man for the first time who wasn't her husband.

If they do cool.

I've just not heard anything suggesting that & assume they won't. Would be smart to do it doe for DAZN's business anyway.

I just put him on my ignore list. That dude is a raging idiot...
