Ferdinand: Football is the greatest sport. Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence in Saudi Arabia is crazy.
Ferdinand watched the boxing match between Tai Sen Furui and Francis Nagano in Riyadh. He said that football is the first sport, and even if many stars came to watch the match, Cristiano Ronaldo was the focus of the audience.
Rappers Eminem and Kanye and former UFC champion McGregor all came to the scene, but when Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina appeared at the game, they became the focus of attention.
Rio Ferdinand also watched the game in Riyadh. He talked about the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo: "When he walked into the building and was under the same roof with some of the biggest sports legends of all time, he was the greatest superstar in that building!"
"It’s crazy, anyone will think that there are other sports more important than football? No, I didn’t! Whether it is the NFL or the NBA, I don’t care what game it is. They can’t be compared with football. "
Rio Ferdinand also talked about Ronaldo’s seat at the boxing match: "Where do you think he can sit?" Mohamed ben salman (Saudi Crown Prince) will only sit with the greatest people. Cristiano sits next to him, that’s it. The greatest person sits next to the most important person. This is the best position. "
