[VislorTurlough]

Will the Saudi royal family let AJ bring a bone saw into the ring?

Bleacher report just announced the rematch in SA on December 7th....

Money talks

Exactly. They both must be getting big bucks for this.

Saudi Arabia is a neutral place. You can't whine about that aspect.

But it is disappointing for the fans to travel all the way to there, I bet.

I second this. Talk about something not making ANY SENSE AT ALL. Saudi ????

THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE FIRST FIGHT WAS TO INTRODUCE JOSHA TO AMERICA!!! How is taking him to Saudi building Joshua’s profile ? How ?!?!? This is just cowardice at its finest and something sinister is going on on the back end. TIL THIS DAY!!

Saudi ? Saudi ???

Lol what's hard to understand? It's about that Arab Money.

AJ walks away with all the belts, and at least $100million.

Andy Ruiz walks away with $15million, a trailer load of snickers and a big “nice doing business with you, mate”.

Wilder is left in his misery with teary eyes, lol.

Impressive shift. I don’t see this making it to fight night (someone will pull out) but I’m all for Boxing trying something different

Third it. The champ, Ruiz, states he'd be more comfortable in U.S. or Mexico for rematch. Eddie knows they'll be a backlash if they stage it in U.K. and Joshua will look weak...so how can we make Ruiz feel as uncomfortable as possible, but try and save face? Ding, Ding, Ding! Let's have it in Saudi Arabia. Ridiculous.

[StrangerInTown]

Disgusting, murderous greed. Nothing but disdain for all involved.

Very nice, and very neutral! I just hope it's not the same investors that were supposed to do Pacquiao vs. Khan!
