The Saudis not only plan to put on the biggest cards in boxing, but they also want to lower the PPV price.
Last week, it was revealed that the upcoming Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga would be $89.99 which led to an outcry from fans about it being too expensive.

“I dream of a PPV with a good price to make the fans happy and subscribe and get them to watch it legally.
“Usually when I see a high PPV, a lot of people go and watch the fight illegally and this is not healthy for boxing and the platform.”
“What I will try to push is to have our Riyadh Season shows at less than £20 in England and less than $20 around the world…”
“I would prefer to have one million fans subscribe and buy the PPV for £20 than less than 500,000 [for £40].”
Alalshik also spoke about wanting to start a new boxing league to eliminate the ridiculous amount of championship belts.
“We have a plan for the future to have something like a league,” he said.
“We don’t discuss about the belts until now. But in my opinion around 68 world champions is a crazy number.”
