    Thoughts on Sunday night boxing?

    I like it. Gives us a full weekend of boxing, like you get with the footy over here.

    We watch all other sports on Sunday, why not boxing?

      Exactly man. I’d like to see it more frequently. Would stop shows clashing as well.

        Doesn’t make much sense to go up against the NFL on a Sunday. Most casuals will get their sports fix early so less incentive to pay $80 for what’s a showcase fight.
        Plus on the east coast with these main events starting late means it will probably do less buys. Saturday nights are good for late night fights as a lot of people don’t have to get up early on Sunday.
        This fight was already going to do a low number. A Sunday fight hurts it more.

          I like it. Makes it a bit easier to watch everything when there are less clashes.

            I quite like it

            Although probably not ideal if you’re in the UK and want to watch and have to get up for work in the morning and the fight is the middle of the night

            I always remember Errol Spence v Bundu being on a Sunday, it may have even been afternoon time in USA because I don’t recall it being in the middle of the night here

              I’m “working” from home tomorrow for that exact reason.

              I’d like to see UK promoters do it too. Sky should do shows following Super Sunday, they’d do massive numbers.

                Would've been great had it been on Fox. Missed opportunity to expose Tank to a far larger audience instead of asking people to shell out $80 for another mismatch if you ask me,right?

                  It’s certainly not a PPV worthy fight IMO.

                    Yeah, Bellew v Makabu was a Sunday, before a bank holiday. I’m surprised they never did it more.

                    You might arguably get a bigger audience on a Sunday because a lot of people have other plans on Saturdays, especially a casual audience that aren’t going to break plans for a boxing match
