1 min u r saying they should be praised, and not long ago, wasn't u moaning saying the atmosphere was crap. 4 me as a fan, these cards are the best ever shown at a time. u.k audiences can watch em.much better than the states where the fights are early hours in the morning. I love it

[@CanTwist]

thank you a real boxing fan

[@Calmdown1354]

Definitely, the fights in the last 6 months have been crazy, and the next one is probably the best yet!!

[@BabyKobeeee]

The problem isn’t watching the fights…..it’s the fact that nobody will be able to match the Saudi funding which could be problematic in the future

[@saintdon4461]

the fights are at least getting made..but its a fact there is little atmosphere

[@glossy3651]

Remember when Frank was telling everyone the Fury v Ngannou fight was a game changer, well here we go this is what he was on about, credit to Frank, well done .

[@alvshill]

Credit where it’s due 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@michaelroberts5680]

It was actually Spencer Brown who introduced Frank to the Saudi's, it was Spencer Brown who negotiated the Ngannou fight and Spencer Brown who flew to New York to offer a deal to Usyk's team...... Spencer Brown is very influential in all this

[@TY-km8hj]

If it weren't for the Saudis we legit would never see Beterbiev vs bivol and a bunch of ther fights made on their cards. The atmosphere and fact its not UK or US is irrelevant since we wouldn't see the fights at all otherwise. Just be grateful ffs

[@bombercountyblues]

Agreed on the atmosphere bud. Invite a few mates round, get a couple of crates in and watch with the sound off,, then the atmospheres fine where you are. and with the fights that are finally happening at a good u.k. time and good ppv price I'm Honestly loving it right now.. but I'm still somehow uncomfortable with the thought of it being so easy for anyone with enough money to just walk into the sport and instantly gain do much power over it.. what happens if all goes to his head and he starts playing favourites,, at least when suliman or valcarcel do it, there's another 3 governing bodies to somewhat compensate..even more worrying, what if one one day soon, he just finds something else more interesting and moves on?? Hopefully it's just me being an old cynic.. 35 yrs of following this sport'll do that to ya!

[@TY-km8hj]

@bombercountyblues exactly man, if id never wanna trade the "atmosphere" for no longer seeing the best vs the best uno. I dwfp understand ur concerns about the power and influence they could wield tho. Like it is worrying and can end up with ufc situation where if u gota Dana privilege ur sorted, but if u don't then its tough for u as a fighter. However I do think they'll likely keep it to just the big events, I hope at least.

[@bombercountyblues]

@@TY-km8hj yeah, as I said. I am loving it right now. No denying that.. its just the thought of our sport being treated as someone's personal plaything.. particularly given his past as a former owner of 2 different football clubs.. he might just turn around on a whim tomorrow and decide he wants to do f1, nfl or nba now.. then boxings left in the dark ages!

[@TY-km8hj]

@bombercountyblues yhh I hear that, tho I do genuinely think we're safe purely cos of Turki's love of the sport. U can tell by his knowledge of it and his opinions of fighters, he's obviously got a passion for the sport

[@mickt3390]

[@dontbewoke]

I'm still bemused as to why Jordans opinion on boxing is considered in any way relevant ; he's neither an ex-pro nor a boxing journalist. He's nothing more than a fan yet he speaks down to Spencer , an ACTUAL ex pro who almost lost his life in the ring , as though he's got more authority on the subject , extraordinary arrogance. My bet is that he's never been punched in the face in his life...

[@creativeartist83]

I worry about this premium stopping big fights too.. but on the other hand Saudi is a reason to stay active and impress

[@JamieB237]

Simon is right they do deserve praise now, for Fury / Joshua v Ngannou they didn’t. Frank was saying it was a game changer yeah it has turned into one

[@Yama3318]

Hahah this guy Simon is a joke! First he says the Saudis are bad for boxing, changing the boxing infrastructure and fighters will wait till they get a big payday in Saudi. Now all of of sudden he changed his mind. People like him have always an dumb opinion without even thinking for a second.

It's a very competitive card. Only because Eddie has played very bad in my opinion. He could've picked two locks such as Bam Rodriguez and Subriel Matias or Jai Opetai with his two weight divisions but didn't.
