Sounds like the beginning of a monopoly.
Saudi teams up with DAZN, who are teaming up with Fwank.
Then they team up with GB, who have ties with DAZN.
Could be a concern depending on how this plays out.

Concern for that?

They want to do a UFC model.

Broadcasters are the one the reason crossover fights don’t happen right?

Top Rank will follow soon.

I'm not concerned either.

Boxing's been broken for too long and this could be the fixing of it.

Of course there will be politics involved, there always are when money is involved, so it will be interesting to see how they make this work.

Riyadh Season has been the best thing to happen to our sport for decades. Let's see if that continues.

Boxing fans, it's great for us

Any monopoly is a concern. They price how they want with no competition, and boxers get paid what they get offered.
The UFC model works because of Dana. If it was in the hands of someone else, or a mega corporate, probably not the same.

If Turki is calling the shots, then fair do.

Plus, since Turki's been in charge of matchmaking, the PPV's in UK have been priced pretty decent.
