It's fair though, the Saudis are piling money into the sport that the UK cannot match.

Until the UK can match it, every fighter will be looking over to Saudi.

Imagine Wembley or vegas sold out for this would be incredible.
Of course I’m still watching but it does take a lot away from the experience.
Plus of course the opportunity to go and see it in person if it was in England. I’d definitely have tried to get tickets for this, it’s a once in a 25 years fight.

It’s fair if they are honest about it, same with LIV, come out and say “fights in Saudi because the money is great and until it’s matched I’m fighting here.” But they don’t.

This whole “thank you your excellency” etc is nauseating.

You mean to say this lad from Belfast hasn’t always had a deep respect for the work of his excellency? Can’t believe it’s just shilling
 
Jai Opetaia vs Mairis Briedis could be the event of the evening, I think Jai is one of the next pound for pound contenders if he can stay injury free.

Think he walks through Chris Billam Smith and beats Riakporphe.

It's vomit inducing. Sports washing works, as well.

Are they targeting the USA with these starting times?

Nah, definitely UK on this one.

Example of targeting USA would be UFC 304 next july. It will be on Manchester, with 2 UK champions co-headlinging, but the main event will be starting around 5AM UK time. The PPV will start at 10PM in USA (prime time).

It’s disgraceful, I nearly pissed out of my ears when I heard that
 
This fight has been a bit shite, the Welsh and Irish did it right.
 
I'd happily watch these two fight over and over, both are a level above the other cruiserweights at the moment.
 
I hate the build up to big fights. I just start watching when the bell rings. Not a second before. Although, finding a river for this is proving tough :D I would gladly pay 10-15 for this. But £25 is too much.
 
Breidis is one hard fecker.
Thought he was well out of that but another round or two and he’d probably have won.
 
Thought the fight would be more explosive, very good bout both fighters respectful of one another given their history.
