    Not sure boxing is even third fiddle for ESPN. Go to ESPN and scroll down the page to where you can select an icon for the sport you want to watch. The boxing glove is 14th in the list, even after track and field.

        no espn is the top dog. They've been around forever and can fund boxing with other sports. Dazn needs boxing to survive.

          Jose Ramirez has left TR/ESPN and joined GBP/DAZN...if that's an indication to something.

              Top Ranks ESPN contract ends next year. A few rumours that it won't be renewed...

              Amazon showed in the UK that they won't invest in sports once they add the basic delivery subscriptions they want (they didn't try to renew EPL rights)

              DAZN always seem on the brink - but they bring way more fight nights that anyone else, do who knows.

              Future for boxing may lie with who the Saudis decide to fund.

                Looks like they are getting the amount of subscribers they need to be profitable.

                  Yeah, he didn’t want any tough fights lol. He turned down Regis, Taylor rematch and Teo Lopez. Gonna go to Golden Boy and fight JoJo Diaz

                    Arum got nothing for Ramirez. He's letting them go this time, without suing.
