Comments Thread For: Hearn Sees Saudi Arabia Beating Out UK To Secure Joshua-Fury

[thack]

I agree but if it takes the Saudi billions to get the fight over the line when both boxers are in their primes then so be it.

It wouldn’t need that as it would be by far the richest fight in uk history of which the boxers would still earn massive paydays.This is just about greedy Hearn and not the loyal boxing fans who should be witness to these huge live events

How do the Brits feel that they are losing their biggest fights to the Saudi's? I thought the UK was the home of boxing

Because you care about Brits so much...

I think its only Wilder that will reject large sums of money to fight in Saudi Arabia and receive peanuts from PBC. it doesn't matter where it happens as long as it is the best fighting the best

... it's only Wilder's problem, tbh... he must be a free man...

More lies

Same story when wilder and fury already have respective fights here is another massive offer. Well It’s ok because a lot of ppl actually believe him.

Stateside don’t matter none, just means an early start time for the fight.

Besides Wilder will beat Fury and this will be null and void.

Arum would also have to agree so it’s not just Hearn. Besides this is a business and you always have to think business first, when it makes sense.

Fighting in Saudi Arabia makes the most sense.

Doesn't bother me where it is, almost none of the people complaining will actually attend in person anyway and the time zones are actually really favorable to brits. I'd rather it didn't go to the US, just time difference - though it's like an 8:30am start for me so works out okay However for the sake of boxing in the UK, it should be on prime time for TV / PPV at least.

Wilder and AJ should really be in the US but Saudi is neutral I guess! (also means i'll get to attend )

And not to forget these are the fans that support the fight game.Without the fans no professional boxing.

Glass jaw is obsessed. Eddie losing it that nobody is talking about Matchroom heavyweights

Absolutely . If it's left to Hearn we will be paying huge money for fights we can only really see on tv. Hearn got a massive site fee from Saudi for the Joshua v Ruiz and his own personal gains , as he said he just couldn't turn it down but then went and put the most expensive UK PPV price on top of it.
