Saudi Arabia is now again expected to host a massive fight card in their Riyadh Season. This has now become a normal occurrence in the world of boxing, and Riyadh has become the epicenter of the sport. As such, the next fight card is the massive 5 vs. 5 fight card between Queensberry Promotions and Matchroom Boxing. Ahead of the event, Eddie Hearn delivered a passionate speech for his team of 5 fighters.

Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the sport did not just revolutionize boxing and make big events happen but also caused people to collaborate with each other. This included Frank Warren and Hearn, who were rivals. The rivalry between their promotions started when Hearn’s father, Barry Hearn, was in charge. Ahead of the unique 5 vs. 5 fight card, Eddie Hearn passionately motivated his fighters.

Normally, the stars of the event tend to attract eyes to the fight. However, fans tend to overlook that the matchups are normally set up by the promoters of the fight. As such, promoters are boxing fans who understand what fights to do based on what fans would like to see. In addition to this, they have a pivotal role in selling the fight to the audiences to increase viewership.
