    In professional wrestling the outcomes are pre-determined (but are occasionally subverted), the combat is staged & the bumps are real.

    Surely all that's needed here is for His Schmexcellency to learn & then teach the finer points of kayfabe...?​

      PPV has turned boxing into a niche sport. None of the weekend's fights really justified being on PPV.

              Keep on doing what you're doing Turki. There wouldn't be a need for three articles on the same topic if they weren't feeling the pressure.

              Like these guys never put on a bad show. Zero blame on the fighters who were out there obviously pattycaking. Give me a break.

                I looked at the two DAZN cards and it took only milliseconds to determine I'm not paying for that garbage. I would have watched a handful of those fights for free (or on subscription), but paying any additional money? NO WAY. My ESPN+ subscription is cheap and the two fights from their Sunday night card that I watched (Inoue-Cardenas & Espinoza-Vazquez) were well worth it.

                  All that low number of punches thrown has a reason: There are no PEDS. This is what boxers look like when they don't use PEDS.​

                    Combine the fighters' purses.
                    75% winner 25% loser.
                    that will change things!
