Groves v Smith to be held in Saudi Arabia

[Fenster]

18 million watched Murata's last defence on Japanese TV (yeah, I know most are thinking who?). There's only one place boxing is "struggling" and that's because they no longer can claim to be mecca

Not to mention you’d have to think the most corrupt sport in the world probably doesn’t need to bring Nigeria or Saudi Arabia into the equation. Boxing does well anywhere there is a wealth of talented boxers, established promoters and networks, something resembling competent commissions, etc. I don’t really care about this fight happening anywhere that said, but it’s a very weird one to be the first in Saudi Arabia. Maybe they just put up way more money than it’s worth as a kind of pilot? It’s a country with a number of people god knows how wealthy who did nothing to earn their money, wouldn’t surprise.

I am surprised it has not been done before. They are diversifying into tourism and this is another way of attracting people to the area.

Now if they can get over the no alcohol and gambling rules they can become the new Mecca of boxing.

It was Fenster's joke, I can not take credit for it.

I don't really care where a fight takes place, but many fans of these fighters will miss the opportunity to see the fight live.
