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.
