[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The undisputed heavyweight championship between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk apparently is too big (read: too profitable) for it to take place anywhere other than the Middle East, according to one of its organizers.

Fighters should go where they get the most money, Frank is doing the right thing by them, that's his job after all. if you look at the foreign policies of both the USA and UK (for example) over the years, you really can't complain about abuse of human rights in certain countries who are willing to offer to biggest purse, to lure fighters into their country. Boxing lacks morality at times, but it isn't down to the sport to right the wrongs of human rights abuses in rogue states.

The only excuse for it is greed , they would get massive , if not equal paydays at Wembley where this fight should take place but the money is not slightly more if massively more and no one outside the Middle East can compete with these almost bottomless pits of money. Boxing always has and is run by money , but this is bad as the big fights now are only likely to be seen on screen.

Poor atmosphere, but richest country, most money for the fighters.

They even pay the most for English teachers, but the environment there I've heard is rougher to teach.

But I digress, oil money is huge money.

"The bottom line is, the US State Department advises its citizens not to go to Saudi Arabia for many reasons – the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, human rights issues, they’ve got a long paragraph on torture, cruel and inhumane treatment, women’s rights and it talks about the risk of going to airports where terrorists may attack – that’s all on their official website. His own government is telling him his life could be in danger," Warren told Thursday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on Talk Sport.

“Come on now, we all know what it’s all about. It’s purely about money, no more than that. You won’t be taking your wives or girlfriends because we know what the situation is there, there’s no drinking there, which I accept because it’s their religious beliefs, but it’s hardly the usual environment for a boxing match, or indeed many sporting events," Warren said.

Fück the fans, we’re going to Middle East to do PR for murderous and corrupt oil tycoons! Fans can shut up and get the PPV as they’re too poor to go to Arabia for a fight.

Fans important only until the Saudi’s will pay more rolfmao
