Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Under Fire Over Human Rights in Saudi Arabia

[dwayne3534]

The hypocracy of Americans complaining about Human rights, when their president bans anyone from specific ****** countries, vilifies Hispanic people and defends KKK/extreme rights members.

I also find it hilarious that Ruiz isn't getting any slack for this either, it's clear AJ wanted this fight in the UK but Ruiz threw his dummy out. He also signed for the fight to be in SA because he saw $ so why doesn't he and his team get the same criticism.

I see the usual PBC fanboys crying once again (as if they really care about anyone affected here)

For you to make these comments I know clearly you have never been anywhere near Saudi Arabia or any country like it.

Why would that be? How can you tell somebody who has or hasn't been to Saudi Arabia? Have I? Have I lived there?

TF was he supposed to say?

He probably should have had something prepared...something a little better than “you can watch the fight from home”

No idea, didnt realize he even had a brother tbh

It's the real heavy guy that is always around him , kind of looks like a lesbian to be honest but it's obvious he's a bit funny looking so if anyone is in need of questions here it's Ruiz if it's such a bad place . Ha

What a moronic post to make, yes I have been to a few Arab countries, not as extreme as SA but still conservative. For you to make these comments shows how little you know me...

No idea who that guy is so a really strange comment from him, he doesnt know me and is making very random observations.

They killed that journalist not that long ago I doubt this fight gets half the press it would have if it was in UK or USA

They managed to somehow take the buzz away from the biggest fight in the year smh...

I'm not sure how the two are connected. People get assassinated by countries ask the time, only difference is they are better at covering up their crimes. However, regardless of that fact the fight and the death ate mutually exclusive, unless people boycott Russia too.

If anything the buzz is all over the Internet as people who follow boxing or not are getting these stories in their news or social media feeds. While the live audience may not be as big or raucous as those in the US or UK, the PPV money will be huge so the fighters win big.

All fights should be hosted in Saudi, those complaining should take it up with the authorities over there. That should be interesting

I just wondering why Joshua got so much haters, things always go different in his case.

Shit! Why in the Hell does the media puts so much pressure on athletes to become politicians as if they are the one's responsible for every damn thing that ails society? Anthony Joshua is no damn politician; He is a boxer. His calling is to not cure the world of all its ills. His calling is to provide entertainment through sport.
