Better fall schedule: Top Rank or DAZN?

I see how deep your love of boxing really goes. Not very. That's cool, though. Not everybody is a hardcore fan. Will watch good fights, and will not watch fights that don't look good; will miss the occasional good fight, but would rather do that than shovel through bull**** all the time. Not a bottom barrell junkie for boxing; have interests in more things than that.

At 12pm in the afternoon, for conference championship week in college football? Nah, I'm good; will maybe follow along with the scorecard here, but won't expect to be more involved in it than that, especially if the matchups matter. Beyond that, let's be honest with what that fight is; it's a rematch of a banana skin fight, where Ruiz was getting his ass kicked, before he clipped Joshua behind the ear. If you're expecting some wildly different fight than that, that's on you. I see how deep your love of boxing really goes. Not very. That's cool, though. Not everybody is a hardcore fan.

So you have no interest in Andy Ruiz vs Joshua? What the heck kind of boxing fan are you? At 12pm in the afternoon, for conference championship week in college football?

WBSS Finals and Ruiz v Joshua 2 is going to be around afternoon time here so it's not going to get more interest than ESPN cards on prime time DAZN USA have the bigger fights but couldn't bring it on Prime Time so all they got is Canelo v Kovalev to compete in this market Christ it really hurts you to give DAZN a little bit of credit don't it. You ant say something positive without making sure you put a negative even though nobody's asking about times.

Both piss all over the pbc

I plan on seeing the Beterbiev-Gvozdyk fight, but miss me with the other three cards. Still, I'll be at the usual spot to see Kovalev-Canelo, and in all likelihood Derevyanchenko-Golovkin, but I'm unlikely to spend much time trying to watch the Prograis card at 5pm ET, or the Joshua fight at 2pm ET. Two shows, maybe 3, for the Fall slate that I'm likely to make the move to see. So you have no interest in Andy Ruiz vs Joshua? What the heck kind of boxing fan are you?

So you would rather have a shitty Top Rank showcase mismatch as long as it's in primetime, instead of a unification fight on DAZN if it's at 2:00pm?

I could give a fluck at this point about comparing. I just need more boxing. ESPN + is cheap enough to do month by month since I got it for Yarde vs Kovalev. No fights prior were worth even the 5 bucks it costs. DAZN I just went ahead and paid the year. I was getting the 9.99 price a month it originally started but I missed Ruiz-Joshua, Cancio-Machado etc since I expected blowouts. Was I wrong, won’t make that mistake again. At the end of the day, I need more boxing!

Dazn has the better schedule overall. Top Rank has the best fight in Beterbiev-Gvozdyk imo. That is going to be fireworks for as long as it lasts. Only reason why Top Rank can show this good scrap is because Arum paid both fighters peanuts and literally neither guy had a fan base

Dazn and it's not close. Only fight I like on ESPN is Beterbiev vs the nail. Yea, that fight might be the best matchup out of the lot. Dazn fights are more competitive all around tho, and the bigger fights overall.

DAZN easy.

You asked for the better schedule; looking for a place to watch Prograis-Taylor at 2pm, or Ruiz-Joshua 2 with a late breakfast messes up the enjoyment, to me anyway. It's like eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Honey Bunches of Oats for dinner; both cereals are good, but wtf. Maybe there's a US/West coast bias, but there's a time for boxing; the Anthony Joshua launch on Showtime worked because he was turning into a star who could draw attention at 5pm ET, but also because Showtime generally did the day/night airing, often with a live late show to pair with the replay. Very few folks are going to not watch the NCAAF Conference championship games to choose to watch Anthony Joshua fight from Saudi Arabia But you can watch DAZN fights delayed whenever you want, right?

no reason not to watch all of em'

Not even a contest if you ask me. Top Rank October 18: Artur Beterbiev vs Oleksandr Gvozdyk October 26: Shakur Stevenson vs. Joet Gonzalez November 2: Miguel Berchelt vs. Jason Sosa November 9: Jamel Herring vs. Lamont Roach Jr. DAZN Oct 5: Gennady Golovkin vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko Oct 26: Regis Prograis vs. Josh Taylor Nov 2: Saul Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev Nov 7: Nonito Donaire vs. Naoya Inoue Dec 7: Andy Ruiz Jr vs. Anthony Joshua Damn. So Crawford wont be fighting again this year?

I don't really care about the times to be honest. Just the quality of the fights. Technically December 7 is not the fall but it was close enough to November to include it. The Terence Crawford fight has yet to be scheduled so I didn't put anything for that, I will update the thread if that changes.
