Thanks but no thanks. Blowing my Saturday to watch is not something I plan on doing.

Saudi cant compete with America in terms of gross revenue a bigtime fight can make. The top 4 grossing fights of all time were all done in Vegas baby! 1) May vs Pac grossed over 600 million from 4.6 mill PPV buys with MoneyMay earning 300 milly and Pac about 120 mill 2) May vs Macgregor grossed over 500 milly from 4.3 mill PPV buys with MoneyMay earning about 280 mill and Conor about 100 mill 3) May vs Canelo grossed over 200 mill from 2.2 mill PPV buys with Money earning 100 mill and Canelo about 20 mill 4) May vs de la hoya grossed over 150 mill from 1.4 mill PPV buys with de la hoys getting 50 mill and Money May 25 mill. The other six fights that rounds out the top ten of all time, four were in Vegas, one each in atlantic city and memphis (tyson/lewis). ALL IN YANKEELAND! In Mayweathers last 15 fights starting with the de la hoya fight, generated 1.7 billion in PPV revenue from nearly 23 million paying customers. So if i'm team Deontay, Canelo, Errol, AJ or Gervontae I would definitely be taking the Mayweather PPV route! SAUDI ARABIA AINT F'ING WITH DAT HOMEY! Plus I've never been able to the the Saudis for sending us those 19 flight attendants on 9/11. Such fine young men they were! THANKS PRINCE!

All the fights in S.A. have been shyte .The people there have more money than sense and haven't a clue what they are watching.Hearn gets massive money for himself and agreed the fighters but then charges the highest uk ppv ever .Big fights DO NOT belong in S.A. ......period!

The trouble is, if you fight in the US you have to win by KO, the scoring is so biased and corrupt.

Its too corrupt for big fights. Judges never give a non-American fighter a points decision in the US.
Look at Fury/Wilder. I can find nobody who can tell me what rounds Wilder won (other than the knockdown rounds).

Neutral countries are required for the sport to be taken seriously.
