I'm shocked because the money always falls apart when these middle east fight offers for fights pop up. Still kinda of nervous and won't really trust it until I see both guys in the ring. lol

Which way you going left or right?This is from The Telegraph but I don't trust drunkard Gareth Davies since he has a way of creating rumours after drinking a few pints.
However, if this is true, this might end up as one of the biggest grossing bouts in boxing history. £70million = $100million from Saudi Arabia alone. DAZN is gonna drop its own cheque. UK PPV. Then TV rights from over 100 countries. Holy crap!
It's a pity Ruiz signed his life away for just $10million and his refusal to fight in the UK only made AJ richer since he'll destroy Ruiz anywhere in the rematch even in his mum's bedroom unless he gets lucky with another perfect temple shot and AJ has another off-day.
British fans are pissed at the choice of Saudi Arabia tho. Hopefully AJ will fight in the UK in early 2020 when he smacks Pulev up in his mandatory.
2x!

Well AJ-Ruiz 1 was held in a country governed by white supremacists who are actively hunting down their non-white population and who’s police forces shoot unarmed black citizens when they have the chance.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?
I didn’t see any complaints then.Comment
