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

[landotter]

ESPN is extremely *******..

No way they would want a Russian celebration on their network LOL

No way this fight happens on that network, talking about Bivol is from California & Beterbiev is from Canada LOL SURE

So you honestly think ESPN would put their ******* idiocy over their bottom dollar? I think you give their morals more respect than they deserve.

The fact that Bivol and Beterbiev can be listed as from somewhere else (legit for Beterbiev... He has been in Montreal for a decade and raised his family there) gives ESPN an ultimate out. They will broadcast this and promote the living crap out it. Happily. Morals for them is venting on their shows and acting better than everyone. Not actually taking a stand.

that's funny considering what a horrendous job he's done promoting Beterbiev's career.


100% KO ratio.
Looks like an absolute beast.
yet he fought Joe Smith in front of 20 people at the hulu theatre.


dude should be as popular as Golovkin

yup but bob is promoting Bumlanga to the high heavens. hell Bumlanga is the next canelo by promo status yet you have a guy with real skills and power and no ones taking about his KO streak????

They are not obscure weight classes. From Carbajal to Chocolatito over a 20 year period making millions proves they are not obscure weight classes.

Carbajal was 30 years ago dude. Nobody is really high on Chocolatito. Hard to get people buzzing when you're =--->

• 47-2 fighting a 14-5-3
• 44-0 fighting a 16-2
• 38-0 fighting a 11-4-1

Flyweight is definitely an obscure weight class. Maybe not to your subjective taste, but to the world at large it is.

I hope he at least knows who Sor Rungvisai is.

LMAO!!! Well played friend. But I'm gonna roll with Bi@tches knowing Bi@tches.... He only knows McCaskill.

Yo WarT@rd or WartT@rd??? Who the only one u know on the card...

Yes it is a deadzone...I'm a huge boxing fan and I forgot all about those fights last weekend. Damn let me check to see who won. It's only going to get worse for GBP (no reason to call it Dazn because there's no more MR USA) because unless you are watching the Dazn app there is no marketing anyplace else.

It is this weekend so watch the fights and then tell me how much you enjoyed the show. I care about good and great fights and they are on EVERY network. There is nothing dead about great matchups and fights.

I wonder is Bivol under contract with DAZN? If he is not then I don't see any obstacles from making this fight happening on ESPN. I know that Eddie Hearn wouldn't mind it at all.

He would just love to do business with other promoters but other promoters don't seem to want to do business with him; At least the major ones, I left Jake Paul out because he is not a true promoter.

So he doesn't count. He is just a popular social media star.

That it's 600k plus. But they'll leave it at that. It's giving a little but not all. Dazn don't like to give that information out. Hearn had to push them to reveal the Taylor, Serrano numbers. This is no different.

the Taylor vs Serrano numbers were released 5 days after the fight. They released canelo vs Jacobs numbers days after the fight. Over a month and no canelo vs bivol numbers. Nobody is keeping a successful event a secret. They probably barely cracked 500k if that.

Everyone on here but you watches the smaller weights. There is nothing subjective about that. And it is not about records, it is about the best fighting the best and this site and the boxing world talks about the great fights at Flyweight and above. Some have made the fight of the year designation. Your loss - or why even bother to comment - just avoid watching the fights and leave well enough alone.

Canelo is under DAZN for 1 more fight.
