    Should reporters cover Ruiz-Joshua 2?

    Saudi Arabia is one of the most dangerous places to be a journalist. Should anyone send reporters to cover the heavyweight title fight?

    It seems like they could say the wrong thing and end up being executed. It last happened months ago.

    If Americans feel that unsafe maybe it is best they stayed home. You can all still get the foreign press who are not a bunch of limp fairies with news about the fight.

      No! Please no. Let the Saudi media cover it themselves. They can then sell their report to the highest bidder. Wish I was a reporter. I would be praying for all the snowflakes to boycott that fight. That would leave me cashing in on my fight report.

        I think it's only a concern for political journalists. If you're reporting sports news I'm sure they could care less.

            I could see how it would make sense for the media to boycott the event.

              Groves vs Smith final was in Saudi. Khan just fought in Saudi. The WWE had giant numerous events in Saudi with huge coverage.

              Pretty sure Lennox, Adesanya and Chuck Liddell were ringside at the Khan fight not long ago.

              The same energy to go against this fight location wouldn't be here if it were your favorite fighter and not AJ

                They didn't boycott Amir Khan's fight or the WBSS finals, so why should they boycott AJ vs Ruiz?

                  The WBSS decision to fight in Saudi Arabia was made long before the monarchy had a journalist murdered.

                  As far a the Khan fight is concerned, gotta give that one a who cares. Boycotting the Khan fight would have made no impression at all.

                  I'm just saying that it would make sense for journalists to boycott the fight and I hope a boycott is organized.

                    Ruiz doesnt want this rematch...all the cryin'...he wants to go straight to the unification with Wilder and cash out. He doesnt want to risk in a rematch that he doesnt think he'll win.
