If I was a billionaire boxing fan I would do exactly what Turki is doing.

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.

Turki is ensuring big fights and cards are being made. I do not think Beterbiev v Bivol would have been made without him. Many boxers on the undercard are being well paid.

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
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
