Comments Thread For: Hearn on Taylor-Serrano/Valdez-Stevenson Scheduling Conflict: 'It Looks Bad on ESPN'

[MPA2000]

Like Arum said, there isn't much interest in women's boxing. They are predicting a slump in viewership so the are adding better names to the spot.

would u rather watch 2 chicks in their mid 30s possibly past their primes (cant tell when there is no female competition) fight or watch 2 guys in their primes to unify the lightweight belts?

Eddie butt hurt about losing the Fury-Whyte purse bid to Queensbury/Top Rank & not getting one the biggest fights in UK history so he hates on other promoters fights it's the Eddie Hearn playbook

Not too many boxing fans would rather watch Serrano Taylor instead of Stevenson Vargas.

I guess it's misogynistic to put on a card if women are already fighting that night elsewhere...

Jake Paul now presented as somebody who cares about all women fighters, even though he's publicly bad-mouthed Claressa Shields more than anybody has.

The number of viewers will tell who cares about what. Not a promoter.

One of the worse scheduling situations I ever saw was how they made Canelo warm up for almost an hour in the dressing room while a UFC card was still running. That was a downright BS thing to do to Canelo and his opponent at the the time.

Save it Edward, virtually no sports fans will be watching your card in the usa

Hearn knows what fight people will be watching, thankfully the DAZN execs will make the smart move and be sure to air Taylor/Serrano first. He thinks Jake Paul being there is gonna be the reason people tune in, then is he not downplaying the women himself? He just looks like a crybaby and a hypocrite. Looks like the women dont move the needle, they need Paul to garner attention but it's so "historic!!" They strong women who don't need no man!!

I know what fight I’ll be watching and it will be Valdez-Stevenson. It’s a no brainer for any boxing fan.

What Bob said was harsh but true, Women’s boxing doesn’t move the needle and the only reason certain promoters utilise it is because it’s cheap.

I think Hearn will try and create some fake beef with the YouTuber in his desperation to sell this “super fight”.
