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

[buddyr]

Ill be watching both at the same time just as I did this past saturday. It's possible . I don't score fights anymore because it restricts me from being entertained. I just watch as a fan and not a judge

It’s a sign of how desperate Hearn is that he’s coming on with this woke whining. His business model in chaos after losing the BT takeover, now he is Mr. Feminist righting wrongs for “history.”

Nothing against the ladies, but this is prize fighting. Everybody‘s chasing the same dwindling boxing dollar, and nobody owes anyone anything. No fighter, no platform has to hold the door for the girls. Good luck trying to shame people into watching them, too.

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.

Correct. Cheap content. Give that man a cigar

Boxing is the worst sport for females because of genetics/physiology and it shows in there cringey, awkward fights. The female upper body is the opposite of what you need for boxing. Popular female sports like tennis, volleyball and gymnastics have sex appeal to sell there product with cute sexy girls in skimpy outfits. Female boxing is not easy on the eyes.

EXACTEMONDO!! Tennis volleyball and gymnastics they wear booty shorts so us pervs can druel over them without actually paying attention to the sport itself. There will never be a pro women's baseball league because they can't throw overhand or hit home runs. Basketball has been trying to get the Wnba up for about 30 years and absolutely no one watches that crap. Football even tried the 'lingerie league' but that quickly failed because the sight of 6'3 muscle bound broads with rhinoceros butts and too many T-booster shots was not a very good look. Also April 30th is the worst date of the year to go up against ESPN. Thursday April 28th is the first day of the Nfl draft round one. Friday the 29th will have rounds 2-3. Saturday the 30th will be rounds 4-7 starting at 12pm and leading into the fight. Do you Brits wanna know which type of American sports fans watch the Nfl draft. ALL OF THEM. We will be glued to our tv sets watching ESPN all day and being bombarded with Stevenson/Valdez promos. Nobody will be watching DA-ZASTER. Payback is a bytch and Bob is gonna get Hearn back for stealing that Teo fight from him. Joe Markowski can cry all he wants about working together but you guys should have thought about that before stealing all the lightweight belts from him!

I'm a boxing fanatic but I'll watch the ladies after I watch the fellas.

Not a soul cares about women’s boxing..

I live near NYC

Yet I’m flying to Vegas for the Valdez vs Shakur fight

Now we know why Arum said what he said. Of course viewership will suffer when they are two big events scheduled for one night. On the flip side not everyone has ESPN+ or Danz, lets see where the fans tune in.

[DaNeutral.]

In this day and age there is no reason why you can't watch both, the headlines don't clash at all. There is no need for this Hearn card v Arum card nonsense. And if you don't want to watch one then don't watch it, those 2 promoters having lazy little pops at each other isn't going to change anybodys minds about what they do or don't want to watch.

[IronDanHamza]

Hearn's under the impression this fight will do massive numbers.

Good luck with that

i would rather watch Valdez-Stevenson than one skinny girl against a girl who looks like a man
