    So Hearn says broadcasters can't continually pay for fights that don't deliver and he sticks his main fighter, Joshua in against journeymen and washed up fighters ......

      the sentiment in the last couple years seems to be that cable is actually better than these streaming services, we tried it and it didn't work.

            I was liking the idea of Amazon Prime. They're already doing football. Probably in more houses than Netflix.

              I preferred Amazon also. The good thing is that they'll be bidding against each other. So hopefully that results in a larger budget in the end and more scheduled fights. I want to see the budget result in guys fighting 3-4 times a year. Not guys like Crawford getting paid $10 million to fight a bum.

                  It's one thing for fighters not to fight promotional rivals, but when guys within the same promotion won't even fight each other, what's that say about the promotion?

                  if Haymon didn't luck up and have Canelo to name drop, he wouldn't even be getting half of these meetings.

                  How can you have a hundred fighters working for you and only a handful of breadwinners? I hope these networks understand why Haymon failed and cite their own performance expectations in the 3K page contract.
