I don’t understand why they can’t.

All these sports and promoters, etc just happily taking their money.

So your choosing to focus on the fact people are taking money, and overlooking his personal and state behaviour that is covered, in depth, in the arricle? Im not shocked, but im curious what your reasoning for ignoring it is?

If people are taking his money, doesn’t that mean they’re overlooking it? They shouldn’t be giving him the time of day.

Not like I’m taking anything off him.

Did you ever buy a PPV on a Don King card ?

No qualms about handing good ole Don your money ?

It's always been money or morals in boxing. If you dont want to support it and still want to watch it get a firestick.

Interesting article about the lengths the Saudis will go to

Folk making references to "buying a don king ppv" making it ok to engage with Saudi.

Dont mind Don King Hacking folks phone, and employing muscle to fair game them in public and then set about them

Bunce has done a pod with FW. Saudi hardly mentioned, in fact it was conspicuous by its absence in the conversation. FW talking about all his big shows being in the UK this year, which is great for us all, but wonder what has gone on there.

Why isn't Frank involved with the Fury fight, he's his promoter yet had no involvement

Looks like the Saudi gravy train moved on, wonder how that makes FW deal with DAZN now ?

It does look like Turki has moved onto his own Ring events and Zuffa boxing now. Riyad Season seems to have disappeared. I wonder what this means for collaboration with all other promoters which appeared to be such a big thing he wanted before.

but journos have more to fear from the Saudis than they do from Frank and Eddie...

Look at this puff piece

That Muppet Rick Reeno dressed like hes been to Turkey, trying to push the narrative how amazing Saudi is ans trying to coerce Canelo into it

The problem with that is all the heavyweight boxers sitting on their arses waiting for the Saudi money.
No Saudi money, no top heavyweight fights. It's been crap.
I had to watch Miller flip his wig the other day just for some heavyweight action.

Yup, pretty much standard behaviour.
