This always happen in boxing when you criticise boxing promotions and apply for a pass. you are either shadow banned/ banned or given a bad view of the ring.

Promoters on these shores have been doing that for years. Fwank and Mickey Duff were famous for it.

That said, those who do ban the media from these events are total shithouses

Re: Saudi's trying to censor the Boxing media
Why don't the other boxing journalists and hangers on show some solidarity with Tris et al and not turn up tonight and say why? No bollocks? As Porky Russ would say "lickers the lot of 'em"!

Re: Saudi's trying to censor the Boxing media
I'd say a lot of the boxing "journalists" who run YouTube channels are actually just publicists
Re: Saudi's trying to censor the Boxing media
Most of the other culprits don't represent q regime that is known to murder journalists... you trying to bunch this in with some promoters is a slippery slope and just trying to skip over itRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑26 Apr 2025, 09:33This time yes.

Same thing happens in football too. Ferguson was notorious for it.

Happened in the UFC too when Ariel Helwani reported the upcoming return of Brock Lesnar before they officially announced it.

Re: Saudi's trying to censor the Boxing media
Ten years ago I would have been all for jumping on the bandwagon and criticising the Saudis for their human rights records and desire to censor.
It’s only recently I’ve realised the West is equally as bad, just more subtle.
