Upset Stateside: Canelo – Crawford’s Riyadh Press Conference Angers U.S. Fans Awaiting American Fight

The US fans are annoyed that the kickoff press conference for the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford Fight will be held in Riad, Saudi Arabia in June. The fight will be staged on September 13 in the USA, not in Saudi Arabia. The organizers still count on the US fans who acquire the event in large numbers on PPV.

You could feel that you can afford to ignore the US fans because of the large fan base of Canelo in North America and Crawford’s newer fans. Despite the kickoff press conference in Riad, the US media will treat the event in large numbers and inform fans with the competition in building their game on September 13th.

The Saudis have the money to market the Canelo Crawford fight in the USA, which means that the fans are left out via the kick-off press conference in Riad and possibly via conferences if they are still staged there.

Who is this sport for?

Some believe that the beginners’ press conference is held in Riyadh to prioritize the financial profit. Saudi Arabia can earn money to organize these events. However, the move alienates Canelo and Crawford’s core fan base that do not have the money or the time to travel thousands of miles to take part in the press conference in Riad.

Turki Alalshikh had previously talked about reviving boxing to bring it back where it was once. The staging of press conferences for battles in the USA in Saudi Arabia could have an opposite effect and the boxing event could make a secondary niche sport more. We have already seen how just a small VIP volume visited the Times Square card on May 2.

These goods The chosen onesAnd the event was very exclusive. It’s okay if You are one of the overalls Or super successful people who are selected for these events, but what if they are not? Did that happen with our sport? How can it continue to grow if it gets more exclusive?
