Incredible night of fights in Riyahd. This of course is setting up the long awaited fight between Joshua and Wilder.

I read somewhere that there were 12 different promoters involved in this fight which is a miracle in itself.

Who's gonna be watching?

I bet this won't receive near the moral outrage LIV did. I wonder why...

Why would it?

Boxers aren't part of a "league."

The PGA doesn't care about this, so they won't have their media friends shitting on it.

It's more about the prior screaming of taking blood money when Saudi already has their hands in everything.

I wonder if the same princes who pushed for the WWE contract with them are behind this.

They were so out of touch with the product that they were asking for guys to appear who not only hadn’t been in the company for years but were dead, like Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna.

Yeah, there's not a lot of virtue signaling surrounding boxing.

The Saudis have already been involved in promoting boxing for a hot minute.

Will Chael Sonnen talk about how these fights aren't real because they aren't all signed to 3-fight deals with a Western promoter?

You do realize Joseph Parker is a former title holder right?

And this is just the build up to Joshua/Wilder.

I bet they were furious when they couldn't get Ali vs Louis and had to settle for these guys.

Dammit. I read the title and thought some Saudi sheik had paid a Chinese lab to create a bunch of mythical monsters, and they would be the ones fighting.
