Dope.. rest in piss Matchroom.. DAZN is awful.. no one is purchasing that trash in the UK

I’ve purchased it and I love it. Can’t wait for some of the Mexico shows! Also love the cards in Spain and Italy

Wrong. Exclusivity with Sky was only for UK fights. They could have made a deal with Top Rank anytime they wanted.

They still had to go through Eddie in some capacity. That’s why he was sat at the table for Wlad v Fury press conference.

Nope. Hearn was there because a Brook card was planned the same night and was going to be part of the PPV, but it got cancelled. Look at the posters for the press conferences.

I’m happy with this, having more of the us fights shown in the uk is great news. DAZN will get the best uk matchups for sure but hopefully this will also allow us to see some upcoming talent. Matchroom were showing a higher level of matchups over the last several years and reality is this will drop off back to either BT levels or potentially lower but it ensures sky stay in the game which is the key bit for me.

It's good that we are getting some international fights back on our screens now with DAZN and SKY, there's been a lull since BoxNation fell off.
BoxNation was great back in the day, really undervalued. The risk of catering for hard core fans i guess.

I which they could have reached a distribution deal with the PBC because Top Rank sucks.

[Mr Giggles]

Thing is, nobody is going to be interested in watching Inoue vs some dude at 4am.

[Corelone]

WTF is BOXXER?

It looks like a double cross to me.

Nobody is stopping them from making a deal with PBC. It was probably not their first choice because they focus mainly on one demographic and Top Rank is more international, they have Fury and Taylor from the UK in their stable.
