Simon talks about ' freedom of speech ' in Saudia Arabia what about freedom of speech when it comes to ISRAEL here in the UK. ???? The sheer level of HYPOCRISY is truly sickening 👿
‘The only thing I’ve fallen out with Eddie over is Conor Benn…’ - constantly refers to him as a snake oil salesman - criticises him for being a silver spoon kid - accused him off lying about communications with Robert Smith / BBoC when cancelling a fight - Criticises the processes Eddie has followed with failed drug tests despite not knowing how the industry works - Brings up Matchrooms accounts in a smarmy way to indicate he knows how Matchroom works - Calls him a sell out to the Saudi’s - Called him ‘ferocious and vitriolic’ towards Buatsi and Okolie when they left Matchroom - Threatened to sue Eddie when he said ‘you went bankrupt’ at Crystal Palace - Refers to his Frank Smith as a goblin tea maker / maid The list could go on. But ultimately, Eddie is travelling the world and continues to build a billion dollar company. Simon travels to a DJ booth every day and is still blacklisted because he refused to pay HM Inland Revenue or any of Crystal Palaces debtors due to his poor business strategy. And that must absolutely kill him every day inside.
Oooouuuuu 😂 look no one can say Simon hasn’t been a breath of fresh air in the boxing space and he does call out things that need to be called out case and point was Conor Benn, Eddie was such a sneaky snake with that whole thing and only Simon and Eubank Sr called him out on it, if he didn’t maybe it would of got swept under the rug. Simon’s a sneaky little brat too no one’s here trying to defend Simon everyone knows he’s abit of a weasel but his principles remain and I like that.
Simon seems to flip-flip at times. Even though I wholeheartedly agree with his current stated position on the Saudis takeover of Wembley Stadium at the weekend. For I seem to recall Simon championing the Qataris staging the World Cup back in 2022 even in-spite of their appalling human rights record. He made no secret of his desire to get involved in lucrative sports promotions in the Middle East that would have made him some of those Wahabbi petrodollars. Yet he's now apparently unhappy with the extent to which accommodations are being made to pander to their whims. And we have indeed sold-out to the Saudis and nobody should attempt to silence anyone else for pointing out this fact. For anyone who is opposed to the concept of free speech and why journalism should not be censored in the way that the Saudis want I can only suggest they look at the fate of Jamal Khashoggi a few years ago.
Turkhi: I will give you the following - a massive event in wembley, with the 'atmosphere' you said wasnt there in saudi - with 2 big british heavyweights who will provide an explosive fight - i will pay them and the undercard record amounts - i will cap ppv at 19.99 so more people can watch - i will have a mini concert on the night - i will get guy ritchie to direct the promo All good? I would just like a 3min Saudi National anthem? Simon and Saddos: 'NO DEAL' 'DISRESPECT' LOL CLOWNS
Simon is like a big black cloud over everything. Everyone has been complaining for years that boxing is dying because of the big fights not being made. I watched the fight Saturday and enjoyed it a lot. Why should the Saudi's not celebrate their involvement in a wonderful event ?
The saudia aren't a solution to that, they're a symptom of it. It's oligarchy and lack of integrity because fighters want so much money that the business cannot function without oligarch money
Clearly don't understand the reasons to why the fights didn't get made. Nothing to do with the Saudis that was all down to the promoters. Fights could have easily happened they just didn't want to for 10 years it's well documented that you couldn't even get Eddie and Frank to speak to each other.

Read a book mate 😂
@delanodegenie6970 Very true. Just like Germany really rule over the English subjects to this day🤣 All those forefathers who gave their life for the German Royal family 🤣🤣
All these casuals making out like there was never a significant fight in boxing until the saudi saviours arrived. You're all pathetic. Big fights have happened throughout history, long before the Saudis joined the table. If it does now take the Saudis to put on a big show then its down to the greed of today's fighters and incompetence of the promoters.
Boxing is the best it's ever been bc of turki, they can play the anthem 5x over if they want as far as im concerned, they got us the best fights that we've been begging for, for years.
@@vfunkeraable It's hard to get self-righteous about sportswashing when the sport is as historically corrupt as boxing is, and the Saudis have actually improved the quality of the sport.
At the end of the day, warren and hearn are at the mercy of the saudis if they want to continue getting big pay days. They will defend the saudis until they are no longer used by the saudis
but car salesman Eddie has been instrumental in preventing the big fights people want to see for decades now. He has no right to use that argument, hes been the one micromanaging his cash cows to never fight in period. Most recently AJ, he has kept him away from Fury and Wilder and now we know why. Bricktops 2nd HW beat him for fun😂
@@CTOTHER Klitchko was already done Fury, had finished him previously and to be perfectly honest im suspicious of that fight lots are.

@@CTOTHER He factually hid from Fury you melt. Fury made it public while the contract was on the table🤣 Its not up for dispute its was a live-on-air fact! Next!!
Right so Edward and Frankie both said Simon got rejected by MC Turki but Simone just said he’s never asked to meet MC Turki and MC Turki in fact wanted to meet Simone on the 16th of September but Simone was unable to attend…. Who’s telling lies here then??????
I found it weird the Saudi anthem was played...but not in a nationalisitc way or anti sports washing way. Just it was suprising and i did predict some backlash. But it is a part of Riyad Season...ot is paid for by them and its their event and they played both anthems, the saudi and the british one. I think its fine overall. Nobody complains before a sports match when both anthems are played.
@@BrianBoru5523 Meaning ideologically I don't see the point of national anthems anyways. If every country stopped using them I wouldn't bat an eyelid. However, they do exist and therefore there are certain norms that we have become used to ....however, personally I'm not indexed to any of them.
I see that Dildo is here again. Are you writing the same thing about the Turks, on account of the Ottomans? The Moroccans, on account of the Moors? How about the Egyptians? The Scandinavians on account of the Vikings? The Italians on account of the Romans? Would you like to focus on 21st century human rights abuses? Or are you happy to remain in the 7th century?
The Saudis wasn't around when Lewis vs Tyson, Tyson Vs Holyfield and Holyfield Vs Lewis so big fights can happen but it's all about money now that's why the promoters are milking the money cow which are the Saudis
No one cares Simon mate. We just want to see the big fights, which we are getting thanks to the Saudis. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have gotten all of these amazing fights because no one else can afford to fund it all. So please, be quiet.
@@PortlandMan yeah they do care. You might not have any pride in your nation, but some of care about the sport being colonised. Don’t forget this was a one off back here and we had to thank them by listening to their anthem
Maybe simon should put up the money to get these events on. And if hes so concerned about free speech then maybe he should get off this sports radio show The british government does regular business with saudi maybe he should get the prime minister on here to question him ? Whilst hes there also ask him why hes sending arms to israel who are committing a genocide in palestine gaza and now bombing lebanon 🙌
Always loved watching/listening to these 2 - however Mr Jordan is becoming toxic in his exaggerating conceited self servicing narratives and proclamations of truth. Simon - get off "Bitter mountain"
This is screaming ELD vibes Simon🤔🤔 you screaming national pride where was your national pride when you avoided paying taxes to this great country where was your pride?
Saudi is paying for the fights, so it’s only fair to take place there for their people. Fight fans want the atmosphere but moan if the Saudi National Anthem plays their National Anthem for 2 mins. So it makes sense that Saudi stay away from UK as a venue. If UK wants to host the matches here, then maybe put up the money for the ridiculous amounts that the promoters and fighters are asking.
We need to understand saudis have changed the game of boxing. Let’s just bloody enjoy it. National anthem was played because it was part of the Riyad season.
Simon must take hours doing his Lidl shopping checking if the ingredients are sourced in the UK. FFS give it a rest. Frees speech isn't an excuse to say dumb things😴
Turki is saving the sport of boxing and making the best fight the best. Stop crying Jordan. Literally gave us a huge fight at Wembley, Oasis, capped the ppv to 19.99, solid undercard, paid all the fighters well, what more do we need?
If you ignore the bit about the national anthem which is nonesense and weakens his argument Simon does make some good points. The rest i tend to agree with but the Saudis are good for boxing, fighters and fans arent exploited and the best fights are happening.
It's remarkable to witness how successful Hearn has been in gaslighting his supporters into believing it's perfectly okay for the Saudi national anthem to have been played before last weekend's boxing match between two British boxers in London.
Haven't heard what hearn said, and I'm not a massive fan of his, but I don't see the problem, they put on the event. I'd rather have Saudi anthem playing and get to watch 6 hours of sick fights, then have to watch it on the telly.
Also Edwin the car salesman has been instrumental in preventing his cash cow fighters actually fighting in "the big fights everyone wants to see" Hes been criticised for it by 5 promoters in total none of which have accused each other of doing the same. We now know why he micromanaged AJ too the big stiff walloper that he is/was
I just look at it like it’s a little acknowledgment of their beautiful country and just a minute or 2 to show respect to them for what they’re doing for boxing 🇸🇦
@@leonhughes9014 If he was a known openly gay man, it's highly unlikely they'd work with him to begin with, so that point is void. The parties involved in the event were not opposed to it and it did not take anything away from the event. It's not like it was the ONLY anthem played!
So that's a no then? It's not in-keeping with Wahabbi values so the Saudis would not permit it? Which was exactly his point. Yet you seem to feel that the vast and unimaginable wealth of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund ought to equate to their culture, flag and values superceeding that of our own- even on British soil!
Tbh il put up with the Saudi national anthem at every event if it keeps bringing us these brilliant cards if you no boxing then your well aware these are not just good main events the whole undercards have been brilliant match ups we would never normally get
Getting paid too much right now. A lot are becoming greedy and entitled, only fighting once a year. Boxers should be in there 3 times a year, all of them.
Freedom of speech? The right to disagree? The Saudis banned Talksport from the event because they made the (accurate) observation that the atmosphere in Riyad stunk. An improvement on assassinating and dismembering journalists i suppose
Eddie hearn is right, some people are always complaining about everything... All hail His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, as a sports fan I'm really happy to see the best fights & have huge respect for the kind people who are spending their time & money putting on these events. Can't wait for Beterbiev vs Bivol 👍 ❤🇬🇧
eddie is known in the business as the promoter that stopped all the big fights people wanting to see from happening. 5 other promoters accused him of this and never accused each other of it. Eddie has a cheek saying anything like "we should be greatful they are putting on these fights" when if he was doing his job right for the last 2 decade we wouldn't be in this position. Imaging backing a guy that actually caused the entire problem in the first place. Are you for real?
Eddie Hern is travelling the world and continues to build a billion dollar company. Simon travels to a DJ booth every day and is still blacklisted because he refused to pay HM Inland Revenue or any of Crystal Palaces debtors due to his poor business strategy. And that must absolutely kill him every day inside.
They paid for it Simon and they wanted 45 maybe 50 seconds of their national anthem played because they are promoting Riyadh season. And event of national pride for them…. Big flipping deal, wind your neck in Simon
Everything they do is a power trip. They even dress like status obsessed losers. They come off as a very insecure culture, desperate to strong arm itself into the global limelight. Obviously these shows are amazing for the fans, but their motivation for putting them on isn't for us. It's to use us to leverage their position.
@@MrAsh1989absolutely. Always slipping their ‘holy mosques’ and all this ‘his excellency’ into everything and beaming their flag over the full stadium. It’s despicable and nefarious.
I agree with Eddie. Its like people will complain about everything! Enjoy the boxing and be thankful the show is in Britain and not anywhere else. Not only are they pumping money into our economy. But as a boxing fan i also enjoy watching fights in our time zone. Remember the days when the big fights were in Vegas.
It’s all about the money..Freedom of speech & human rights abuses are conveniently moved aside & replaced with fake noble gestures like “we’re promoting the sport to the world & we’re putting British boxing on the biggest stage. Warren & Hearn are money driven above any moral virtues & Simon is spot on.
Most people in these comments need to wise up bruv, you do not get your anthem played on foreign soil unless your the athlete. Never surrender, how dare they assert themselves like that.
Simon is 1000% correct. Even though the Saudis are making these fights, it doesn't give them the right to play the national anthem. UK boxing has been sold out by Hearn and Warren..facts.
You know what I did when I heard the Saudi national anthem played ahead of the fight? I went "Huh, that's odd" then just carried on with my evening and had a blinder even despite AJ losing.

No issue. Perfectly fine
All these casuals making out like there was never a significant fight in boxing until the saudi saviours arrived. You're all pathetic. Big fights have happened throughout history, long before the Saudis joined the table. If it does now take the Saudis to put on a big show then its down to the greed of today's fighters and incompetence of the promoters.
Don’t talk silly . The biggest fight we’ve seen in years was probably fury v wilder .

That aint saudis fault is it you helmet

Boxing is the best it's ever been bc of turki, they can play the anthem 5x over if they want as far as im concerned, they got us the best fights that we've been begging for, for years.
If we keep getting all of these big fights, I'll learn how to sing it in Arabic.
Looks like the sportswashing is working 😂
@@vfunkeraable It's hard to get self-righteous about sportswashing when the sport is as historically corrupt as boxing is, and the Saudis have actually improved the quality of the sport.
To be clear, Joshua vs Dubois could have easily been made without the Saudis!!

It was weird.

Just nice to have the big fights ,why is there a problem with the anthem being played .
but car salesman Eddie has been instrumental in preventing the big fights people want to see for decades now. He has no right to use that argument, hes been the one micromanaging his cash cows to never fight in period. Most recently AJ, he has kept him away from Fury and Wilder and now we know why.

I found it weird the Saudi anthem was played...but not in a nationalisitc way or anti sports washing way. Just it was suprising and i did predict some backlash. But it is a part of Riyad Season...ot is paid for by them and its their event and they played both anthems, the saudi and the british one. I think its fine overall. Nobody complains before a sports match when both anthems are played.
Why not in a Nationalistic way ?Are you English?
Nobody complains when Americans play their anthem in Vegas before fights that don't feature USA fighters.

They happened because they were big PPV fights in America. 80 dollars per household.
Errrrgh…Jordan’s boxing knowledge is pathetic!
No one cares Simon mate. We just want to see the big fights, which we are getting thanks to the Saudis. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have gotten all of these amazing fights because no one else can afford to fund it all. So please, be quiet.
So we've never had big fights in the UK before the Saudis came along?? 🤔
@@PortlandMan yeah they do care. You might not have any pride in your nation, but some of care about the sport being colonised. Don’t forget this was a one off back here and we had to thank them by listening to their anthem

It was uncomfortable listening to the Saudi national anthem at our national stadium when there was no Saudi fighter.

Britain has sold itself out on all fronts already - including sport - why should boxing be any different?

Saudi is paying for the fights, so it’s only fair to take place there for their people.
Fight fans want the atmosphere but moan if the Saudi National Anthem plays their National Anthem for 2 mins. So it makes sense that Saudi stay away from UK as a venue.
If UK wants to host the matches here, then maybe put up the money for the ridiculous amounts that the promoters and fighters are asking.
We need to understand saudis have changed the game of boxing. Let’s just bloody enjoy it.
National anthem was played because it was part of the Riyad season.
But we were not in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 it wasn’t a gold medal Olympic situation

If you ignore the bit about the national anthem which is nonesense and weakens his argument Simon does make some good points. The rest i tend to agree with but the Saudis are good for boxing, fighters and fans arent exploited and the best fights are happening.

Why did they play the Saudi anthem at at an event called “Riyadh Season” what a ridiculous question from a petty, insecure disc jockey
It's remarkable to witness how successful Hearn has been in gaslighting his supporters into believing it's perfectly okay for the Saudi national anthem to have been played before last weekend's boxing match between two British boxers in London.
Haven't heard what hearn said, and I'm not a massive fan of his, but I don't see the problem, they put on the event. I'd rather have Saudi anthem playing and get to watch 6 hours of sick fights, then have to watch it on the telly.
Would they have God save the king played in Saudi?
@@rosskitchen4182 If the uk paid for the whole event, sure.

Also Edwin the car salesman has been instrumental in preventing his cash cow fighters actually fighting in "the big fights everyone wants to see" Hes been criticised for it by 5 promoters in total none of which have accused each other of doing the same. We now know why he micromanaged AJ too the big stiff walloper that he is/was
Nobody cares.. us boxing fans just want to see the BEST fights… we don’t give a 💩 about national anthems!

Will you bring your payer mat next time?
If im sponsoring big fights ill play more than my anthem. Yall should chill
I just look at it like it’s a little acknowledgment of their beautiful country and just a minute or 2 to show respect to them for what they’re doing for boxing 🇸🇦

So that's a no then?
It's not in-keeping with Wahabbi values so the Saudis would not permit it?
Which was exactly his point.

eddie is known in the business as the promoter that stopped all the big fights people wanting to see from happening. 5 other promoters accused him of this and never accused each other of it. Eddie has a cheek saying anything like "we should be greatful they are putting on these fights" when if he was doing his job right for the last 2 decade we wouldn't be in this position. Imaging backing a guy that actually caused the entire problem in the first place. Are you for real?
Simon comes across as seriously jealous of the amount of money in boxing now and that he didnt put money into a promotion company earlier imo.
Simon is spot on.
Explain the issue..
Eddie Hern is travelling the world and continues to build a billion dollar company.
Simon travels to a DJ booth every day and is still blacklisted because he refused to pay HM Inland Revenue or any of Crystal Palaces debtors due to his poor business strategy. And that must absolutely kill him every day inside.
Simon just wants some Saudi money... well done Saudi 🇸🇦 great event. Simon is is just jealous of your success
I’m sorry but If Italy did their national anthem Simon would not have an issue, it’s an “Arab” thing in my opinion.
They paid for it Simon and they wanted 45 maybe 50 seconds of their national anthem played because they are promoting Riyadh season. And event of national pride for them…. Big flipping deal, wind your neck in Simon

I think you should pak it in
"Celebrate the participants & not the money" is the salient point 💯
National Anthem? Sorry, that's too far for me, what's their game, a power trip? Had no problem before this. Just a personal view of course.
Everything they do is a power trip. They even dress like status obsessed losers. They come off as a very insecure culture, desperate to strong arm itself into the global limelight. Obviously these shows are amazing for the fans, but their motivation for putting them on isn't for us. It's to use us to leverage their position.

It’s all about the money..Freedom of speech & human rights abuses are conveniently moved aside & replaced with fake noble gestures like “we’re promoting the sport to the world & we’re putting British boxing on the biggest stage. Warren & Hearn are money driven above any moral virtues & Simon is spot on.
This man is truly bitter and totally disingenuous. Boxing does not need this man’s ego or his negativity.
Most people in these comments need to wise up bruv, you do not get your anthem played on foreign soil unless your the athlete. Never surrender, how dare they assert themselves like that.
Simon is 1000% correct. Even though the Saudis are making these fights, it doesn't give them the right to play the national anthem. UK boxing has been sold out by Hearn and Warren..facts.
