Not sure if that comment was aimed at me or JM. But yeah I’d rather it wasn’t specifically held in Saudi Arabia (or Iran / N.Korea etc) but the fact that it’s in a foreign country doesn’t bother me.Well there’s a shock.
so you have no problem with the biggest fight in boxing between two British fighters being held in a country with zero sports heritage even worse human rights records where women are banned from attending and where British fans won’t be able to go.
ok then I guess we have a different moral compass.
it’s called sports washing for a reason
In fairness Zorro, whilst I hear your points and largely agree, it's not like the UK is some shining beacon of morality and decency is it. We're also a tin pot dictatorship or certainly headed that way.Well there’s a shock.

That’s just an excuse as AJ fought in Saudi long before the pandemic so this has nothing to do with the virus.the Saudis are probably one of the few nations who can afford to bankroll it without the revenue a crowd would bring.
Women weren't banned for AJ v Ruiz in SAWell there’s a shock.
