    Ahh, I got you. My apologies.

    I agree. I like the match up and will tune in. I'm happy it's not on PPV as I don't feel it's worthy of a PPV ticket unless they were to get a major co-main bout to add to it.

      Teo is a known name on EsPn having fought on the network
      Casuals will tune in
      All those interested will tune it. And I think it will be quite a few. Both are great talents. And I know they will market the hell out of their match up with their **** talking.

        Go figure, they charge for Tanks fight for NO BELTS and a rehydration clause.
        WTF??????
        Tank never fights a live dog and Garcia rarely fights?
        I guess it’s for the teenage girl championships or YouTube star belt
        It’s for the WBO belt

          No it isnt. Arum had invested more in them so Teo and Taylor have bigger profiles than Catterall or Martin.

          Arum robbed Martin and Catterall to make this fight because its more marketable to casual fans.

          What would have been best for boxing is to have Catterall and Martin given the clear UD they both earned and then fight for the unified title.

          Then Have Taylor and Teo fight to determine who gets the winner. The loser would be at a crossroads so you expect a hell of a fight.

          TR had no choice but to put it on ESPN given every rational fan thinks they both lost the last fights. Hard to sell a ppv in that context.
