Sounds like all is not well behind the scenes.
allegedly is reportedly facing a potential $1 BILLION legal dispute with Saudi Arabia’s SELA and Zuffa Boxing
Boxing’s power structure is on the verge of a seismic shift. allegedly is preparing a potential $1 BILLION High Court battle after alleging he was frozen out of Zuffa Boxing the Saudi-backed venture formed by SELA and TKO Group Holdings.
Queensberry claims contracts were breached and privileged access was used to strike a five year mega deal behind their back. With Turki Alalshikh, Dana White and Nick Khan driving Zuffa’s push to dominate the sport and a reported $500M media deal already secured this isn’t just a lawsuit. It’s a potential war for control of boxing’s future.
A courtroom war that could shake up the entire boxing business.

That explains that Bunce pod with FW with zero mention of the Saudis, they must have agreed on that as part of the interview.
Lots of people try and take over boxing but just end up spaffing all of their money for zero impact. The UK doesnt need Saudi money to flourish, we've got a proper sporting culture to support boxing.

Zuffa means nothing here , if Connor Benn is the best they can do they will fail. Hopefully Frank has got all his contracts water tight

Definitely had an impact. Fight's that would probably take 2-3 years to marinate, we got within a year.Bercli wrote: ↑25 Feb 2026, 09:26No we have not,your wrong there.

Frank could be summoned to the Saudi embassy for a meeting soon.
He should definitely not go and send Dev Sahni instead

I respectfully invite you to study the history of the sport in the UK. It boomed before the Saudis got involved and will do when they get bored.
Frank and Eddie on Dazn has had more impact than 'his excellency' throwing a few quid around on boxing in between porta potty parties.

souce of rumours = a media company owned by the people being sued
