    We’ve had such bad luck with the big fights this summer.

    Fury-Wilder III was postponed, Canelo-Plant fell apart for September, Pacquiao-Spence is now off as well. That’s three big PPV fights jeopardised in three consecutive months. Has that even happened before?

    I'm wishing boxing was under the UFC model say for example Eddie Hearn as a Dana White figure fighters wouldn't be so afraid to lose like they are now and would be on a ladder where taking the big fights is mandatory and essentially the only way to get paid

    Boxing is getting worse and worse big fights are now basically the negotiations maybe they should make the promoters sitting around a table a PPV event instead since the fights never happen unless both fighters are being cashed out

        No that would be horrible. Eddie has never made a big fight outside of the UK.

        The UFC completely block fights too remember, there’s a reason we never got super fights like Fedor-Brock. UFC only make the best fight the best from within their own organisation not from within the entire sport of MMA. It’s not that much different from the in house matchmaking of PBC, Top Rank, Matchroom etc.
