Comments Thread For: Arum on Beterbiev-Bivol: 'We Ain't Doing a Fight On Dead-Zone (DAZN) - Nobody Watches It!'

[Rodtang]

the first reports came out said 300k. Hearn said otherwise based on those reports, as promoters do, but never released official numbers. Like I said, nobody keeps a successful event a secret. Believe what you want but common sense should prevail.

LIke I said. If you want to think otherwise, that's fair enough.

Beterbiev was with PBC, but guess where he went?

Not everyone is meant to be a star. GGG wasn't one either.

People who demand Spence-Crawford next should be pretty mad with Arum by now. I don't care about the garbage belts or any 'undisputed' BS, but Beterbiev and Bivol are the best two at 175, like Spence-Crawford at 147. The PBC haters should hold Top Rank to the fire until they make this fight, preferably next.

The Russians don't wanna eliminate each other similar to the Afro Americans, but let's keep the standards consistent. Fight each other next. No excuses. Screw the promoters.

Bob Arum doesn't give a shit what you think.

Dead zone - not bad bob, I'm sure I've heard it before but not bad at all. I can already see some Hearn fanatics in disarray over these comments, just need Hearn to call Bob out for a fight now and I'll be satisfied.

hearn wouldn't let bivol fight on espn

bivol is a potential future opponent for canelo

and if it is a fight thats shown on both espn and dazn, that favours espn because they have a larger viewership

[BoxingIsGreat]

Bivol-Beterbiev is a 50/50, money wise.
Maybe I'd say 60/40 Bivol, based on the Canelo fight.

Arum doesn't do too many fights like that. He needs almost all.

No seasoned boxing fan could have thought that DAZN’s non PPV model would work. Bob said as much. How are you going to pay fighters PPV salaries they demand without PPV’s? It’s hard enough to make any big fights at a consistent rate. They bragged about paying Canelo a ton but anyone who has actually followed the sport knew it was going to fail. Canelo ends up sewing to get out. What? did they think they had control over match making? Maybe the boast worked out short term? Got the brand out there? I’m still waiting for Dana White to show us how boxing is done…

LMFAO at OldSkoolIncel liking every anti DAZN post in this thread

The reason why 3G was insanely popular was of the power of Hbo. They were able to promote him to Game of Throne and fans of other popular shows on their network which in turned brought a lot of casuals to his fights. Once Hbo left boxing so did those casual fans. Now 3G can't sell out a family dinner.

I think he can sell a Salisbury steak TV dinner

Correct me if I'm wrong bur wasn't it Canelo that said "I'm not fighting anymore Mess'kins"?
