It's crazy how a lot of today's dream fights are on the horizon or in the works.

If Crawford does well at 154, a clash with Canelo is intriguing. Other than that, would still love to see Tank-Shakur-Teo-Garcia-Haney all mix it up.

Tell Turki to make Loma-Pitbull happen.

Dud's fight literally the 5th most interesting on the card.

1. Tszyu vs Ortiz
2. Ruiz vs Big Baby
3. Pitbull vs Valenzuela
4. Morrell vs Hot Rod
5. Crawfish vs uber driver

What if fans want to attend these dream cards though? And maybe have a beer and actually enjoy themselves?

I’m fine with fights happening in Saudi if it’s the only viable option, but all the big fights going there would take the sport away from the fans.

Hopefully they continue promoting fights internationally after this Crawford card in LA, there’s strong rumblings of a London card at Wembley in September too.

Exactly. No problem
at all with a global presence of the sport. He’ll take the sport back on the road such as the days of Ali in many different countries…but that environment in Saudi really reminds me of the covid boxing matches with no fans. Roaring boisterous fans magnify the sport, especially the atmosphere of a big fight a long awaited fight. Big fights in London, Manchester, New York, Las Vegas, Paris, Johannesburg, Tokyo, Sydney, Toronto, Buenos Aires etc etc

The buzz generated around the LA and London shows will be huge, and as you mentioned, a lively crowd really works in their favour. This is also true when you consider that far more people will see the re-runs on YT than actually see the event live or on PPV.

Saudi may be hard to go yourself, but given this day and age of internet if the alternate choice was not happening then I think fans will happily take the former. I for one would rather have Beterbiev vs Bivol happen in Saudi over Beterbiev retiring in the next few years with the match never having occurred.

That poses the question: Have you ever been to a big fight?
