Saudi League Lost $2.4 Billion Due to Ronaldo Boycott

American television company FOX Sports has decided to stop broadcasting Saudi Arabian football championship matches amid Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo's boycott of Al-Nassr matches.

This was reported by the Speedline portal.

According to the source, due to this decision, the league has already suffered losses of $2.4 billion related to its global media and commercial projects. It is noted that FOX Sports became the first major international television company to refuse coverage of the Saudi Arabian championship.

Ronaldo has missed Al-Nassr's last two matches. Prior to this, Portuguese newspaper A Bola reported about a possible boycott of games by the footballer. According to the source, Ronaldo is dissatisfied with how Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund manages the club, especially compared to rivals under the same organization's management. The forward believes that the team did not receive proper reinforcement during the transfer window.
