Looks like the card will start at 5 pm pacific time and the main event ring walk at 8 pm pacific. So the fight will end around 9 pm pacific. This is good. 2 hours earlier this time.
Better than Canelo being pre-empted and made to look like a clown.

Of course, Dana doesn't care either way, since he watched Canelo/Plant during a UFC event.

I agree and that was a bad look for Canelo and DAZN.
That happened because the fight was finalized at the last minute because Kovalev had a fight and his opponent wouldn’t take a step aside fee. Couldn’t sign and get a venue scheduled until after and all the dates had filled up.
Plus the Canelo/Kovalev fight wasn’t a big anticipated matchup. It was just another fight on his DAZN deal to fulfill both sides.
Bud/Spence should be one of the biggest fights out there but from what I have seen it’s barely registering outside the hardcore fight fans.
I don't know what you guys think "run of the mill" and "mid level" are but that card you're referring to that Canelo had to wait for was the highest selling PPV UFC had that year.
This dude is crazy. This fight was the biggest UFC card of the year and had far more buzz than Canelo-Kovalev. It was indeed the highest selling UFC PPV of the year but also the highest gate of the year in a sold out MSG. They even had The Rock carrying that made up belt and Donald Trump in the building.
DAZN knew what they were doing.

Diaz is entertaining for sure but he's not exactly elite. Only big fight he won was McGregor with anyone with a brain saw coming. Says more about the ufc if he had the highest draw. Especially since Dana is always trashing him
Nate Diaz is/was one of their biggest draws. So is Masvidal. They've both done 1 Million + PPV buys on multiple occasions.
That card was their biggest of the year by far commerically. It was at Maidson Sqaure Garden and was their highest attended card that year, if not the highest gate definitely Top 3 highest gate and their highest PPV confirmed by Dana White.
What always annoys me is when there's an early ko and the broadcast feels the need to fill in the time with a bunch of nonsense. Like get the next fight going man wtf
Thats what I didn't like in the Inoue fight, the very formal atmosphere with ballads for ring walk music and the big delays between fights killed all excitement.
How you talking when your boyfriend carnela literally had to wait for a real run of the mill card against kovalev. Lmao boxing cash cow had to wait for a mid level ufc fight
That wasnt a ppv fight. That was dazn, being new and not knowing wtf they were doing
Hbo or showtime would never do that
One of the most anticipated fights for boxing and they are changing their schedule for a run of the mill UFC card?
Tough look.
Ufc has nothing to do with it.
pbc has done multiple ppvs starting at 8pm
Tank vs ryan ppv started at 8pm just 3 months ago. Tank vs Issac Cruz ppv also started at 8pm

They should save a 4rd fight or even a high level Amatuer bout just for that reason.

Doesn't surprise me. This is the first "big" fight in boxing that I'm going to watch probably solo. Granted my circle of boxing buds has shrank over the years, but the two I typically count on to show up will be a no show this weekend. Crazy to imagine that I'll be soloing this one.
Funny you mention the UFC card because this kid at my job (he's about 24) asked me if I'll be watching the UFC event this weekend all excited. I said no, watching the big boxing event. He said, oh nice, whose fighting :rolleyes: lol.
Not really run of the mill though it's one of their biggest cards of the year.
Seems like I hear that every other week lol Beyond that this fight should be bigger than anything UFC has unless it’s a Connor McGregor level star.
