I'm a Joyce fan so I will be buying this fight as the trilogy is not taking place on Saturday so this will be our lone boxing for the day.
It really sucks that TR signed that deal with Sky Sports and don't put on the Warren shows on ESPN+ anymore. Obviously DAZN won't pick up these fights either as they have their own deal with Hearn....Some network or streaming service needs to do a deal with Warren to get his shows.
Is it though? ESPN wasn't interested in this or the Dubois fight. My guess is that viewer numbers for English fighters is very low in the US. Irish guys like Mick Conlan seem to do better, and his next fight is getting shown.
Has nothing to do with those fighters doing better numbers...I mean Conlan is still with TR, no? Harris was an MTK fighter so his fight got shown on ESPN+.....Joyce has no link to TR and that's the reason his fight is not being picked up.
Yeah, but this fight should be on ESPN+. The HW fight is more interesting to the audience than the Harris/Sandoval fight.
I actually forgot the Olympics were starting on Saturday for a second.

ESPN+ is still showing the MTK cards, but they no longer show Warren cards
Yep, that's what I was thinking.
Warren has enough good fighters and fights that he makes where they need to be picked up by someone.
I'll find a BT stream somewhere, not paying for this, disappointing that a fight of this caliber can't get picked up by a non PPV entity in the US in 2021
The Harris - Sandoval card was on ESPN+ last month, so its not like they aren't shown at all but there has to be a hook for Americans. If Warren wants his stuff available in the US, he needs to make fights interesting to that audience. Depending on what's going on with the Olympics I may get this one.
