Saudi on a Saturday night/Sunday morningĀ is an awful venue, not least because the weekend is Friday and Saturday here. It won't get underway until after 2am here.

It's like havingĀ  fight at 2.30 am on a Monday morning in the UK.

I'm in the Middle East and won't see the fight due to, like most people, I am working the next day.

Been a lot of grumbles from ex-pats saying the same thing. We have got a massive fight - and indeed sports event - right on our doorstep, and most of us won't get to see it live.....

Sort of defeats the purpose of having it here.

It's all to appease the British fans so they'll buy the ppv. It's on at a great time here in the UK. 9pm start I read with the walkouts at 8.45pm.

Its midnight in Saudi. 1am in the UAE.....Ā if its on schedule.

Having it out here, then moving it to a time that's inconvenient as fuck to those living here, just proves that the money talks and Saudi just buying in the prestige.... but the fight would never be shown at like 7pm on a Friday night (in the UK).
