Will the Saudi's try and buy Boxrec?

[SeanBrennan]

John Shep set it up years ago. From the only time our paths crossed on a Matchroom show, I formed the opinion he was a decent, genuine guy without ego (unlike many in boxing).

Boxrec will have some value from advertising revenue, a valuable record database and I believe a contract to run the BBBofC site.

However, such fundamentals aren’t required when petro dollars are being flashed around. The Saudis main aim is maximum impact/attention.

Thanks for detail. Do you think Jon will sell? What do you think it’s worth? Sorry for questions

I have no idea Sean. I only met him once and that was 30 years ago!

Fair enough mate I’m just a nosey bugger!

Just noticed Boxrec is on the ps5 boxing game Undisputed. Kerching!

If the site does ever get sold to the Saudis, I reckon loyal forum posters should get a bit of a cut. Only fair really.

Certainly users with the status of heavyweight under their forum handles...
