So unless Bivol agrees to go to ESPN this fight won't happen.

Just like Devin Haney couldn't get Kambosos until he agreed to fight on ESPN (he also had to agree to a rematch clause and to chain himself to Top Rank for several fights.)

Bob Arum is the biggest cancer in the sport.

I don't disagree but Eddie Hearn doesn't help himself rubbing all the American's promoters the wrong way either.

You're acting like other promoters don't do the same. Plant would only fight Canelo if it was on Showtime with PBC. Charlo would only fight Munguia if it was on Showtime only, no DAZN.

Something will have to give between Arum, Hearn and their respective TV network because Russians and Eastern Europeans in general take great pride in belts and other accolades.

This is a hairline battle. As I always say, the fighter with the better hairline usually wins. We saw that when Bivol fought Canelo. This is going to be a good one.

Finally, someone’s breaking this contest down with the rarely seen in depth commentary it needs

[NachoMan]

I don't get this. Why can't both sides make money doing a dual-broadcast? Each side broadcasts with their own crews. What the problem is? As they say, its not big enough for PPV and its not going to be a big seller of DAZN or ESPN+ subscriptions.

Naw, I'm going to keep pointing it out every time it happens.

If you ever wonder why fans don't get the fights they want this is the reason. Promoter power tripping, with Arum being the worst.

Then on top of that he serves up crappy undercards on his PPVs too. The fans always come last at Top Rank, unless it's to fleece them of their money.
