The Usyk vs Dubois 2 undercard is horrendous

[ShoulderRoll]

So I bought the PPV yesterday and really enjoyed the fights. And thought, hey, maybe next weekend will be fun too.

Didn’t realize that show is also a PPV as well. But the main event should be good, maybe it’s worth splurging again, right?

Wrong. So very wrong.

DAZN should have given this away for free with a subscription.


Lawrence Okolie vs Kevin Lerena

Daniel Lapin vs Lewis Edmondson

Andrii Novytskyi vs Vladyslav Sirenko

Lasha Guruli vs James Francis

Aadam Hamed vs Ezequiel Gregores

If the main event is appealing, people buy the PPV irrespective of the undercard. The organisers are obviously sufficiently confident the PPV will sell to its target UK audience to not require over spending on the undercard.

watch darts instead

I’m a more discerning boxing aficionado. $60 for the lineup yesterday was fair, but $60 for next week’s crap card? No thanks.

Are people in the UK actually excited to pony up for this? Frank Warren is taking the piss by wanting to charge for that.

Novytsyki pulled out and Solomon Dacres stepped in.

So it’s actually worse now . That was the 2nd most interesting fight imo.

Buy Pacquiao vs Barrios then.

Tszyu vs fundora 2 is the co main

That is truly one SH>T undercard! Not one fight worth seeing plus we have to see Prince Naseem's mediocre son again.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Good to see Sirenko on the card.

But he fights Dacres, not Novytskyi.

I agree. I thought about making the purchase but there just isn't much of an undercard to justify the price tag to me. If it was $20 sure I would have no problem.

Also the fact that the Bam vs Cafu and Pacquiao vs Barrios card is happening later that night makes the $60 price for Usyk vs Dubois more off putting. I like the fight but not that much.

The main event has the World Heavyweight Championship being contested in a competitive fight. If you're not interested in that then it's perhaps time to find a different sport.

I can't speak for more than 60mil people but I should imagine a significant proportion will be sufficiently interested in seeing Dubois fight Usyk to be willing to pay £25 ($33) to watch it live. Some probably spend more than that on vape products in a week.
