Rumor: GGG could be fighting on a major network

I still haven't given up hope that GGG's next fight will be on a pretty big platform in the U.S. on Feb 1st.... #boxing

@stevemaxboxing You think a network will pick it up? What about Epix? Do they still do fights?

Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 30m
@TheFightSource - much bigger and better than EPIX, is what Im hearing...

These people though. Steve says GGG will be on a major network/platform and they ask if it's going to be on Epix or Wealth. Sweet Christ boxing does not have a bright fan base.

The only thing I can think of is if that HBO/ESPN deal starts to finally pay off and they throw him on ABC for a fight

shame he is fighting someone he shouldn't be

The bigger shame is Murray on the under-card vs Fletcher(Rumored) for a title.

[Kagami Taiga]

i dunno why any major network would pick up that fight. mebbe free tv. but hbo or showtime? that would be a waste of money.

[Russian Crushin]

Cinemax lol

[Sugar Adam Ali]

only makes sense for HBO to carry it, even if its on HBO2 like zhou shimming,,

GBP and showtime are putting on great cards, but the one thing they are still very behind HBO in is the international fights like froch-kessler 2, Wlad-povetkin, etc

HBO needs to broadcast alot of the international fights, they arent getting shown in the US anyways so they HBO might as well spend 50-100k and secure broadcast rights for fights like Groves-froch, Sturm-barker, etc

Jarrod Fletcher? Where you hear that?
Geale wasn't even offered the fight as #2

Yea, it will probably be HBO2, where they simply use broadcast rights from other TV providers and show it on a smaller platform over here

Wouldn't be surprised, they wanted to do it when he was fighting in December
