Glad they have garbage on a pay-per-view since I don’t plan on buying anyway I won’t miss much

You’re right, but most businessmen lie lol. So I’m assuming you’re boycotting and not watching the Canelo fights??

Fortunately I am in a good enough finacial situation that I can buy all fights, PPVs, apps, doesn't matter because I am a true boxing fan and I buy all that chit. I don't buy PPVs based on the race of the fighter or what network he's tied to. Canelo is on top of the boxing world and naturally I will follow all of his fights, whomever that may be. The problem is I'm not the one tat DAZN is looking for. They are looking for non hardcores and casuals to subscribe to them and that's not going to happen because boxing just isn't that big in America anymore. Out of 350 million US citizens there are only about 12 boxing fans left. Five Mexicans, 4 blacks, 2 Puerto Ricans and one old ltalian guy in Jersey City. The numbers just aren't there baby!

I agree with you. I don’t care what network is having the fight, and I even careless if they’re profitable or not. To be honest, All networks are like this now. When PBC was first formed, they initially had the backing of big networks like NBC and Fox, and they gave us fights like Garcia vs Thurman and Thurman vs porter on basic cable, but now charged us ppv price for Thurman vs Barrios and Ortiz vs Charles. Sadly, The $$ is drying out in boxing.

Yea you're right. NBC and FOX quickly found out that boxing in it's current state ain't gonna work. NBC and FOX are used to dealing with the NBA NFL and MLB. Those are well established organized non- fractured professional sports organizations. Each of those sports are lead by one commissioner that deals directly with the head of the network. I have been telling you mofoes that the only way we can get boxing on an even playing field as the other sports is we have to merge into one unit. Oscar has to leave Dazn and sign with Showtime. DISNEY CORP, which owns ESPN and FOX, has to force TR and PBC to work together. Drop the sanctioning bodies, ALL OF THEM, and make Showtime FOX and ESPN belts. That's the only way it works.

Wow this is genius. Create an UFC type of fighting league where the best fight the best and the sanctioning bodies aren’t corrupting and leeching of the fighters.

Good timing for either then the russiam-ukraine war would either be full force done via talks . if so we will know usyk status. If war is still going on and hrgovic wins . make aj vs hrgovic for the belts with winner facing fury. With that winner facing usyk if returns after his warm up vs say domonic breazele or such some he can win with ease get aome rounds to get the rust off and a decent journeyman

Geni geni kameni

If you're going to Roll Out PPV...STACK THE CARD PLEASE! Hard to stack the Card though when Canelo is making as much as he is making on that night so I'm sure it is not much of a budget to stack out the card

Great exposure for Filip though

[El_Mero]

I was calling out all those dummies for turning down Hrg. Now look, hes the co-main for Saul.

[Tecnoworld]

I hope zhang can get in shape for the biggest fight of his career
