Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Linares - Undercard Information, Olympians Return

They can't have stacked cards when they need to put on over 30 shows a year for ESPN & ESPN+.

I don't really care why they can't, I'm just happy that Showtime can! I'd much rather watch a card like April 7th, or a card like April 21st, or a card like June 6th, than to watch Joshua vs. Parker, or Lomachenko vs. Linares! I like multiple quality matchups!

They can put on thise kinds of fights, but not that many people actually care. Loma vs. Linares and Joshua-Parker still get 7-30x greater attendance, much bigger gate revenue and tv ratings than a Lara-Hurd type of fight on Showtime. The April 21 card is alright but it would be just another boxing show like any other if it wasn't for the entertainment factor of Broner and Gervonta's personalities.

I thought Beltran would be on this

I like Conlon a lot also.

I see nothing special in Conlan whatsoever. I hope I'm wrong though. Just seems to really lack snap in his shots, his technique isn't anything more than solid and he's a bit too sloppy for me.

Time will tell I guess.

The ring is a truth serum. It will eventually tell us what we want.

Joshua -Parker did NOT get much bigger TV ratings than Lara vs. Hurd, and many people do care! Many people enjoy watching a "full" night of boxing, and not 2 trash undercard fights, and one decent headliner, especially when they have to pay for it! That's why HBO sucks right now!
