AJ is there for two reasons and neither of those are his next fight.
1: it will be free all expenses trip.
2: to keep his name in relevant as a potential future fight somewhere in Oldham
Bollox
The fights would still happen with smaller purses that is all, Saudi are willing to pay stupid money for various reasons.
The fighters follow the money, like F1, like shitty burnt out footballers, like that shitty so called sport where you hit a hard ping pong ball with a stupid stick...
