I think it was more about them trying to get into new sports. A lot of boxing is being held in Saudi Arabia now. Even if the participants in the main event are, say, both British. They're a rich enough country they can just throw money at these sports to host them there.

I guess the money was popular with the WST.

I see. Thank you. I did not know that. But it makes perfect sense. It's always about the money, isn't it? <ok>
