Every country deserves a chance to do something big for boxing... If good intentions are on their mind.. Then love and respect will follow... Where's the Corona girls at? or just girls in general.. Can you drink Alcohol at the fight? Those are my only concerns..Leave a comment:

It’s as simple as money talks and BS walks.
It might be good for the top tier level of fighters with bidding wars breaking out between the big casinos in Vegas and Big corporations in Saudi Arabia, U.A.E and a few other cashed up countries.
FFS, Qatar was able to buy the votes which enables it to host the 2022 World Cup despite the logistical complexities.
It doesn’t translate to better accessibility to big fights for a lot of fans - how many of us could afford to fly to S.A, book a hotel at $300 a night then at least $500-$1000 for a decent seat at the venue?
That doesn’t include food and alcohol.
I’m all for taking the mega fights on ‘a world tour’, but it ought to be spread evenly across the various regions.
As for Mayweather v Pacquiao II, fight fans will groan at that prospect.
Saudi Arabia is welcome to that one.Leave a comment:
