Comments Thread For: Hearn: Middle East Could Be The Home of Boxing's Mega Fights

[VislorTurlough]

We could fill up a legal pad with America’s issues. But nothing tops the PEDillian - Rivas fiasco. You have the promoter, the boxing board, and the national drug testing organization complicit.

I don’t think Saudi will take over from Vegas

Will say one positive thing though ... we wouldn’t have to stay up til 4am if the big fights were in the Middle East

Hearn admitting he is a failure in the USA appears to be the issue...running off to Saudi. Also, where is this “Middle East” the West eurasians speak of? Is there a “middle west”? “Middle South?” “Middle North?” Oh you mean southwest Asia? Got it! I have brushed up on my colonial/imperialist era outdated British terms in a while....forgive me. I’ll be sure to do that, I’ll get back to referring to non-european peoples as “tribes” instead of ethnic groups while I’m at it.....and no, Saudi won’t be the center of boxing. What it will be is the center of matchroom boxing and hence so called “British boxing”....fine by me, we still have PBC, Top Rank, and Golden Boy in the USA

Eddie of Arabia needs to calm down. All that blood money has gone to his head.

[Califire209]

After Joshua gets sparked out, there will Never be a HW title fight in Saudi Arabia again. Boxing Mega fights belong in Viva Las Vegas

I hope Hearn is just pandering to them and isn't serious about this. I would hate to see the US lose out on major fights.

The criticism has been heavy in terms of safety, the treatment of women and homosexuals as well as the recent controversy connected to the murder of a journalist. Hearn emphasized however that all are welcome..

There's talk there'll be a fight in Las Vegas, USA. The criticism has been heavy in terms of police killings of black people, incarceration of Latin migrant children, long history of CIA interference in internal politics of developing countries including probable murder and attempted assassination of foreign leaders, indiscriminate mass arms sales to despots and dictators and a long track record of military intervention in other countries.

nothing like mud-slinging

Cash rules everything around me CREAM get the money dollar dollar bill ya'll

Exactly

Fast Eddie: there’s a code of conduct for sure, I mean women can get stoned to death for adultery and the death penalty is still in place for ****sexuality, but no country in the world can compete with the money that’s on offer. So we either embrace that and turn a blind eye to the disregard for human rights, or we risk me not being able to line my pockets to the max.

Lol Hearn is a clown nothing can replace Vegas.

Lol amir khan's still waiting to get paid from the dib fight
