These dipshits are starting the event 1pm EST/10am PST, then main event starts at 5:40pm EST/2:40pm PST. How dumb is that? The PPV model doesn't work in Europe, so it's not like they are focusing on that market to rake in zillions. Fury is making $50m, Ngannou is making ????, then I'd imagine they have ppv points built into their contracts. DAZN has to make money off the event to justify the fight. They are leaving tons of money on the table by not having this on at typical North American event hours. Danus tried this (not as drastic) to appease east coast fans and found out the hard way it was a loser.

I heard they're gonna have em dress up like the Iron Sheik and ride camels to the ring too. But it went too far when they made the curly-tipped shoes mandatory.

Exactly. It wss only a few years ago that the crown prince had men Chop up an American into pieces.

But Saudi Arabia is spending mad money on sports to try to market itself as not modern and normal

So the theory here is that Saudi's are overpaying just to host the event in their country? They cover fighter purses at an increased value to cover for potential ppv buys + boost their own credibility? Interesting.

May be
I don't really have a theory


I just wanted to bash on Apex events and the rest was my typical gobbledygook filler

Exactly. I haven't done the math, but that theory is based off of other stuff like LIV golf.

Unless im mistaken, the salaries they are paying those dudes are insanely high. It cant possibly be profitable for them, but earning money presumably isn't their goal since they have so much of it

must suck for the Saudis to pay so much for the show, only to leave themselves watching it at 3.30am
