Saudi Arabia's Minister of Entertainment Requests Reduced Pay-Per-View Price for Blockbuster Boxing Event

Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder Set to Appear at 'Day of Reckoning'

The minister of entertainment in Saudi Arabia, Turki Alalshikh, has made a request for a reduced pay-per-view (PPV) price for the highly anticipated boxing event, 'Day of Reckoning'.

The blockbuster fight card will feature both Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, making it an event that boxing fans won't want to miss.

Kingdom Arena in Riyadh to Host Wilder vs. Parker and Joshua vs. Wallin

Wilder's bout with Joseph Parker will take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, followed by Joshua's main event against Otto Wallin.

The fight card will also include Daniel Dubois vs. Jarrell Miller and Dmitrii Bivol's WBA super light heavyweight title defence.

Unbeaten fighters Jai Opetaia and Filip Hrgovic are also scheduled to fight on the card.

Minister Alalshikh Calls for Exceptional Value with Reduced PPV Prices

Turki Alalshikh, the minister of entertainment, is determined to offer "exceptional value" to boxing fans by requesting reduced PPV prices for the 'Day of Reckoning' event.

He has called for the PPV to be priced at just £19.99 in the United Kingdom.

Alalshikh expressed his excitement for the event and said, "Every single fight on this card could be the headliner! We want all boxing fans to be able to join this evening with us."

Fans Hopeful for Lower PPV Prices after High Costs of Previous Fights

Alalshikh's request for reduced PPV prices comes after fans in the United States were required to pay $80 to watch Tyson Fury's win over Francis Ngannou in October.

Meanwhile, UK fans were able to catch the super fight for £21.95.

The 'Day of Reckoning' event is part of the Riyadh Season, a series of events organized by Alalshikh, including Fury vs. Ngannou.

Several sporting events are scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia, with Fury's undisputed heavyweight title bout with Oleksandr Usyk set for February 17, 2024.
