“Costello & Bunce are terrific... loved the multiple episodes from Saudi Arabia. I especially enjoyed the travelogue feeling of the coverage. To go that far and not immerse yourself into the culture would have been a shame and C&B made me feel like I was there. Several comments on the event which I streamed in its entirety on DAZN in the US. Horrible undercard with the exception of the decent Povetkin/Hunter fight. Agree completely on Ruiz disrespecting the title with his total lack of preparation. He seems like a likable enough guy but he’s wasted (or eaten) away such a wonderful opportunity. Just curious, Ruiz reported to have made 13-million for rematch. After taxes, trainer, cut man, hangers on, training camp, travel, lodging in Saudi etc... how much do you think he actually gets ?
Loved the look back on Ali-Foreman. One final question... i’ve search the internet several times but have never found an undercard for that fight OR for the Ali-Frazier fight of the century. Where these truly stand alone events ??? Seems incredibly risky, especially the Foreman fight which potentially could have ended in under 6 minutes like his bouts with Frazier & Norton.”
