Comments Thread For: Hearn Reacts To Label of 'Sportswash' on Joshua-Ruiz Event

Montreal would be ****ing crazy. They love their boxing there. It was a neutral spot for Duran/Leonard and the place was crazy live.

Big O fits 78,000 for concerts so boxing would fit around that. But the Big O is also a ****hole last I saw it, so Bell Center is more likely.

Not to mention Montreal is commutable for UK travellers, American travellers, and I’d go lol

Was Montreal bidding for this fight? Where they putting any money up? ?? If not, then it's a moot point isn't it.

I’m not claiming anything other than the company not having a website or any real online footprint. Maybe the internet is illegal in Saudi Arabia. Wouldn’t surprise me.

I’m just curious why nobody finds it su****ious. If Frank warren pulled this stunt everyone would laugh at him (and rightfully so, which is why I mentioned wilder/Chisora in a different thread)

We're dumb not to be su****ious over there not being a.... Website?

Your painting of everything in as negative a light as possible routine has really showed you up for what you clearly are with this one. F3ck me do you have serious issues. And all probably down to a Romanian in Lucian Bute being beat by a Brit in Carl Froch. Haha.

I have a question, isn't AJ a ******? If so advantages with the judges and ref? Treatment bad for Ruiz because he is Christian? I can be wrong...thoughts?

AJ is not a ******, no.

Do you think they're going to get ****** judges and a ref? Haha.

Arab money is still money. Ask Donald Trump.

if this was held in Russia, i bet less people would notice.

KSA is sponsoring this fight to cover-up its appalling HR violations.:

Could be worse, they could hold it in the US where there is state sanctioned murder, regular massacres encouraged by the government and only people of one particular colour are treated with any respect.

Just when I thought I could not have less respect for Eddie, he proves me wrong again.

All that shyte people are talking about human rights doesn't concern me as long as I can make money.
phck you Eddie.

women couldn't even drive in saudi arabia until 2018. until 2017 they couldn't get health services, education loans, etc without the consent of a "male guardian."

these aren't kids, they are grown women.

eddie hearn "wanted to keep joshua in the UK for the fans." then he realized he had peaked in popularity. then he wnted to bring him to the US and make him a star [for the money.] then he got knocked out by andy ruiz. now he wants to stage the fight under a commission with nothing to lose so his fighter can f#cking cheat.

Welll in America there is state sanctioned murder, regular massacres and nobody doing a thing to stop them because the government is terrified of upsetting the NRA morons and police shooting men in the back just because they are black.
In the month of July 2015, American police killed more civilians than the British police did in the entire 20th century.
Yet nobody complains about US human rights abuses when a fight is held there.

Yeah let some nice architecture blind you from the fact it's a backwards hellhole that treats foreigners like sh.it and half its own people like second class citizens. Remember those buildings were most likely built by ****** too.

Are you talking about America or Saudi?

Congratulations on being there. Was anything I said wrong? Did you go with your wife/girlfriend/significant other? How did she find it?

I wasn't referring to you, but nevertheless.

Yes I did. My wife is from Pakistan and her father is a professor in Saudi. She doesn't wear a headscarf (i'm sure you're wondering) and there was never an issue.

It's been great every single time - I've been about 4-5 times.

One thing I can tell you is that people are more welcoming there than pretty much any other place I've been including the U.S. Except when I lived in Mississippi which was very friendly too.

But they don't want you to know that people are happy in Saudi. They want you to think women are overtly oppressed so you'll feel OK by going to war and stealing their land and oil.

Sorry to let you know this way.

[LacedUp]

have you ever been? Pyongyang has skyrises too, its still a ****hole, at least the brainwashed poor north koreans dont get publicly beheaded at the local markets for a nice family afternnoon out, SA is literally living a thousand years in the past, admittedly i have never been outside the airport but even that stunk of piss & was a hole.

Yes I have.

Since you haven't, I can't really use your opinion for anything. Because it's just a perceived opinion that's not based on reality.

However, talking about ****holes.. San francisco, Memphis, DC, Detroit, chicago, baltimore...

Now those are in proper need of a helping hand.
