Saudi Arabia: The saviour of boxing?
Category: Business
Duration: 00:17:34

Description:

Two years ago, boxing was on the ropes.

Fans were fed up, and rival promoters were playing the blame game, as egos, finances and broadcaster commitments got in the way.

Now, it's all changed, largely thanks to investment from Saudi Arabia.

We head to the boxing ring to look at the revival of this global sport – and find out whether the Kingdom's increasing involvement in sport is being universally welcomed.
