Saudi Arabia Lowers Boxing PPV Prices

Eddie Hearn and Daniel Dubois had a tense exchange during a promotional event for Dubois' upcoming IBF heavyweight title defense against Anthony Joshua, where Hearn praised but also critiqued Dubois' past performance. If Joshua wins, he is set to fight the winner of the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury rematch in 2025, aiming to become a three-time world heavyweight champion. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's Turki Alalshikh plans to lower pay-per-view (PPV) prices for boxing events to increase accessibility and reduce illegal streaming. This initiative will start with the Bivol vs. Beterbiev fight, with UK prices set at £15 and $20 worldwide. Alalshikh’s efforts are part of a broader strategy to revitalize boxing by making major fights more affordable and appealing to a larger audience.
