Comments Thread For: Arum on Beterbiev-Bivol: I'm Not Going To Let Any Network Problems Stop a Fight That Should Be Made

[YOU WILL LOSE]

Canelo should be completely ignored when talking about 175 title fights. He showed what he has to offer against Bivol by winning 2 rounds. Bivol will school him again and Beterbiev will KO him.

canelo is the reason the divison and bivol got more attention and put arum on the hotseat to make the fight.thse two are amongst the longest reigning champs in any division in boxing and not many would call for the fight

at least crawford and spence started negotiations. these two havent even done that

I have thought these two needed each other for a couple years now. It is the fight that has to happen and I believe, for legacy, it will!!

*Landotter hits "Post Reply" , hoping no one remembers he typed this exact statement about Joshua-Wilder, Spence-Crawford, Golovkin-Charlo, and about 6 other "legacy defining fights" that did not ever happen*

Thats good to hear from uncle bob who is a confessed detractor of young edward and the 'dead zone' Lol , there lot things that could happen before that LHW clash gets made but ultimately is the fight to make and the one everybody wants at 175.

I'd rather watch it on DAZN than ESPN. Every card I watch on ESPN has been plagued with minute long buffering sessions, and I've got 2 GB internet, WiFi 6E mesh routers, and Nvidia Shield, Apple TV 4K, and the newest Fire TV Cube to watch on. The issue isn't on my end. Meanwhile I never get buffering on DAZN, and they do things like run ads split screen while still showing the ring, so you never get an interrupted broadcast. ESPN has been in the business long enough to get streaming right, but they consistently don't. Hopefully this fight can get made.

I completely disagree. DAZN streams are ****ty quality and only 25 or 30 fps. Even their uploads to youtube are only 25/30fps, it really makes me scratch my head and wonder if some 80 year old guy who doesn't understand computers is in charge over there.

ESPN is at least in 720/60 at all times, sometimes 1080p. I've never had buffering issues. Are you actually using wireless mesh? That's like the worst possible way to provide internet so that's not something I'd list as a "reason it's not on my end".

You're clearly living in the last century when it comes to network tech. If your DAZN streams are poor res, that's probably on you. Both ESPN+ and DAZN stream live in 720p/60, although ESPN frequently drops to SD or green screens. That's a very common issue for ESPN. Even their techs admit that.

Bob is full of more s**t than the East River. Beterbiev is already 38. By the end of 2023, he'll be 39.

The only thing concerning Mr Arum is not getting his fighters I any matchup that will risk losing their title. He is the king dust collector on champions during their prime.

As long as we don’t organize, group up & revolt in some way Arum, Hearns, ESPN, DAZN, etc. won’t care when we moan, groan, ***** or complain. About visual clarity, about competing opponents, etc, etc: We know this. So? Since our whining, griping & shouts aren’t about to form into any form
of powerful protest, we might as well enjoy these grumbles. We could laugh em off.
