Nobody cares about this. Everybody is showing fake outrage.

But Eddie should stop trying to justify it and just say they offered the most money. End of story.

do the right thing! stage it in a neutral place like.... montreal

I think it’s more the fact that they publicly behead **** victims, atheists and people who speak out against Islam then the fact that they’ve got some pretty sky sc****rs.

Spot on.....

American's are like: Saudi is a ****hole

Looks futuristic. The engineering doesn't match the social development, though.

The human rights violations there are egregious, and has been since its inception. Not saying the US is that much better under this idiot. He's the enabler.

That one is extreme ignorance. That case is not acceptable to Islam. Someone must have misused it.

I agree with the rest of your post. ****** social policy.

Agreed. Or Vancouver.

Someone mentioned that the wwe did a show over there each year. I had no idea the women wrestlers weren’t allowed to take part though. That’s ****ed

Yeah they get a huge payday to go over there it’s either 25mil or 45mill. Put it this way Goldberg got a million dollars for one match over there, and he ***** the bed. A Syrian wrestler was told not to come. Wrestlers with certain tattoos were told to stay home. Sum wrestlers boycotted it, and they were punished. It is what it is. I like big boxing matches being staged in rare locations, anything can happen. I’m still waiting for a bunch of cruise ships to surround a barge in international waters.

I wonder if Andy will have to wear a long sleeved shirt for the match?

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

Well I know that half the people on here would have no problem with that if AJ had written it into the contract. If Ruiz openly criticized Saudi I’m sure things would turn into a huge mess. AJ would have his detractors even in the UK. The organizations with the belts would have to pick a side too. If it does happen, I just want it to be outside, sandy, and hot as heck.
