Comments Thread For: Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn Agreement Reached For 'Five vs. Five' Fight Card

The people that will come over , the non boxing fans , imo. , will be fly by nights
They won’t stick boxing fans and will only be there for novelty fights
That’s my assessment having followed boxing for a while and seen these guys come and go
You had the May fans , Pac fans , where are they now ?
Those two attracted the casuals but did they stick around ?
Nope , most of them left and when they did come it was only for the finale
Just my two cents and opinion

If boxing keeps trying to put a square peg in a round hole I agree with your take. If boxing decides to actually appeal to fans (us the hardcores & those that come over when boxing does big things) on a consistent basis its a game changer for the sport.

I can't predict which way it'll go & knowing the history I'd lean towards a pessimistic stance, like you, with boxing thinking small instead of big, BUT if boxing rides the current its on its a tide that'll raise all ships to higher ground. The opportunity is there. Its just if "boxing" decides to do the right thing.

Hey man , can’t disagree with what your saying and I’m hopeful but just being realistic

I get it but it’s still boxer vs boxer to a boxing promoter
Thisis just like picking the flavour of the month
Imagine a 1-1 fighter , mma guy fighting for the prestigious unified heavyweight championship
What does that say about the guys working their azz off to get to that pinnacle
Prestige is gone and so will beman people who dreamed of achieving that pinnacle , lmo

I totally agree. Nngannou shouldn't be in line for a shot at unification for all the reasons you mentioned.

These surely aren't the fights that are gonna happen, but there are some intriguing potential matchups if they really went for it:
Hrgovic/Zhang 2
Joyce/White
Dubois/Huni
Itauma/Romford Bull
Yarde/Callum Smith
Hutchinson/Spider Richards
Parker/Conway
Bentley/Ammo
Sheeraz/Cash
Heaney/Ababiy
O'Leary/Mati
Gwynne/Cully
Hughes/Berinchyk
Frankham/Castro
Collins/Price
Ball/Lara
McCann/McGrail
Masoud/Baluta

I think that is exactly what they are doing.

Fury, win or lose vs Usyk vs winner of Francis and AJ - colossal in the UK and worldwide (except States and Canada)

There is a rematch clause for Fury vs Usyk. Neither of those two will be free to fight anyone else for the immediate future.
