Absolute Disgraceful Promotion of AJ Usyk 2 Fight

It’s not his job to promote? who is showing the fight in neith America? What is his job? Hahahaha I can only speak for England but even if Dazn has the rights for North America its not solely on EDDIE HEARN to promote the fight IS IT? especially as he was practically in camp and AJ'S microphone. He gave hundreds of interviews which were all readily available. I get your point though ........In hindsight what would you suggested moving forward?

Its not Hearn's job to promote the fight as SKY won the rights. Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference to your viewpoint on him but i'd thought i'll just say. It’s not his job to promote? who is showing the fight in neith America? What is his job? Hahahaha

What benefit will I get from a bunch of casuals watching this fight dickhead? :lol1::lol1::lol1: THE POTENTIAL OF A PRICE HIKE

Completely agree. My paesan is an ex boxer at HW and follows the sport, he didn’t even know Usyk Joshua 2 was today. Hearn can’t promote outside of the UK to save his life he’s garbage.

Sky don't want to promote a fight of a guy going to a rival promoter. Also the "Joshua era" at heavyweight is largely over. Fury had now taken over as the defecto british heavyweight and, since the pandemic at least, Joshua seems to have lost a significant amount of his casual audience. In reality, the emergence of competitive British heavyweights like Dubois and Joyce and the epic Wilder v Fury 3 showdown coupled with the disapppointing showings against Ruiz and Usyk mean there just isnt much of a reason for the British public to be interested anymore. It made sense in 2017 and 2018 when there were hardly elite British heavyweights on the scene other than Joshua but now there's arguably three of them and Joshua isn't even the best of the bunch. He can definitely recapture some enthusiasm should he win, hell even being competitive in defeat will mean many of us will be itching for a Wilder/Fury showdown.

Because it makes boxing grow as a sport you ****in idiot What benefit will I get from a bunch of casuals watching this fight dickhead?

How would you even measure this? Show me how to determine whether a boxing event is properly promoted or not. You're just guessing aren't you?

Yes, boxing fans will, of course, know the fight is happening today, but everyone I know at work, outside the office have absolutely no idea the fight is on today and I'm in the UK! We're talking about a HW title fight! And it's all so cynical because it's not lack of resources: 1. Promoters received such an obscene amount of money from the Saudis they felt no need to promote the fight. 2. Half the press conference was grovelling about how generous Saudi Arabia is. Has a host country ever had their anthem played during a press conference? 3. It's a disservice not only to the public, but to the Saudis themselves who might not have the commercial experience when it comes to fights and sports in general and assumed Hearn and others would promote this event internationally. Hearn, DAZN and Sky should be ashamed of themselves. I'm not surprised boxing isn't as popular as the UFC right now - doesn't matter how much Dana White recieved from the UAE to host events in fight Island, the passion for the sport was still there and every event (and this was during COVID, mind!) was promoted to the heavens.

I don't really understand why people care so much about this kind of thing. Who cares if a bunch of people who obviously don't really give a **** about boxing know about the fight or watch it? Because it makes boxing grow as a sport you fuckin idiot

Who really gives a hoot in the overall grand scheme of things? Fighters are paid well, no one is complaining, I doubt Saudis would also give a hoot even if it's their oil money that is on the line.

Yeah, right!!!!!!!!!

The general public doesn't stay with a boxer if they lose repeatedly. Joshua lost last time out and the fight is happening in another country - of course this bout is going to be much, much smaller promotion
