If I was a billionaire boxing fan I would do exactly what Turki is doing.
One of the very last historic and respected entities of the sport being pawned off to become a bratty rich man's scalp trophy. Horrible news. I see many mid-level/rising fighters facing fewer and fewer 'big' opportunities in the aftermath. He want's complete control and say over rankings and venue in a sport that has always been completely wide open to all levels.
The Saudi's have made some good fights
They are also guilty of pushing undeserving fighters
Making unwanted fights & fights ahead of time
I loved seeing Parker for example upsetting their plans ;D
There doesn't seem to be any real plan with the match making
Just throw names in a hat & pick :-\
Big fights being taken away from fans attending is a bit of an issue
But I like to watch from a screen, with multiple angles & replays these days so I'm split
If you think the rankings had issues under De La Hoya
I think they might get much worse now :eek:

That is the best card since Don King did his magic whilst Tyson was in prison and JCC superstar was his main man.

yankiel rivera figueroa was dominant in a fourth round stoppage over angel gonzalez
christopher diaz came on in the second half to give henry lebron a tougher than expected fight. i've got it a draw. i doubt christopher gets much credit from the judges
two judges had it for henry lebron by four points, the third judge had it for him by two points for a unanimous decision
richardson hitchins has been complaining about the gloves liam paro is wearing
i've given liam the first three rounds, the second was close
gave liam the fourth, richardson the fifth
sixth was close, gave it to liam. gave the seventh to richarson
