Comments Thread For: ESPN+ Expand Boxing Content With Two New Original Shows

Very interesting, may have to give it a try. 5 bucks a month is not bad.

Will wait until ESPN+ has a really great match (love me some Crawford, but the fight with Horn doesn't quite get there). When there is, I will do the free trial and see what else they offer.

If I though for one minute that ESPN would keep it at 5$, I would do it. But it will be up to or over 10$ as soon as it has a good subscriber base in my opinion, and the entertainment dollar can only stretch so far. My choices of U-verse, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Prime music subscription, and my HBO/Showtime purchases are already ****** expensive and only increasing.

If it is worth it after I try it, I will have to start cancelling other things which will require "dealing" with the family. Ugh.

Horn vs Crawford is a SENSATIONAL fight.

A hungry unbeaten Champion against the Pound for Pound Number 1 fighter moving up in weight...whats not to like?

Seriously some boxing fans are never satisfied.

This is amazing news.

The more ESPN invest in Boxing, the better as their brand is established in America as the Number 1 Sports Source.

Damn man. Throw Teddy Atlas a bone and put him on your show. He’s been faithful to you guys for years.

Fat Dan is getting his own show? And its not a cooking show? Wtf.

Although for real what I'd love to see is a boxing version of The Sports Reporters with **** Schaap from ESPN back in the day. They'd have Schaap + 3 other media guys from sports on & riff on the latest news. The MMA Beat is a similar thing that took the led from The Sports Reporters that does this same thing with Ariel Helwani usually hosted & with Luke Thomas filling in with he's busy. And they do the same deal & just riff on the latest headlines & going ons in boxing. So give me a boxing show for boxing. Fat Dan should be among the regs if not the host, but throw me Chris Mannix, maybe Michael Woods & for extra drama Steve Kim perhaps in that mix. I wanna hear some differing viewpoints & some drama & I think these guys or some other guys I could add would surely provide that & give us an entertaining boxing show.

Teddy should get a show like that MTV classic Bully Beatdown.

Bring in some kid who's beating up another kid & then have Teddy beat the sh^t outta the bully for our enjoyment. Would be great entertainment I feel like.

not only that but he was mentored to be a boxing teacher by Cus and knows more about boxing than anyone at showtime, hbo, espn etc. But theyd rather have osunas and kriegles so the ***** cats at home dont get offended by hearing things that goes against their own dumbed down opinions lol.

Sensational? Really?

Lomachenko against Linares is a senstional fight. Stevenson against Jack is a senstional fight. Usyk against Gassiev is a senstional fight.

Horn is a straight ahead, guts and glory fighter who is limited. Very limited. He will give all he has, but his only win of value is that disputed decision over Pacquiao. Crawford will pick him apart. It is an interesting fight. Nothing about it screams sensational. No rational boxing fan or analist will pick Horn.

I, by the way, am extremely easily amused. Crawford/Horn just isn't enough to get me to pay extra

I’ve never seen or heard of that show but that sounds awesome.

***** cats indeed. Really sucks he isn’t around. He brought a lot of insight and excitement with him. I didn’t always agree, and I admit he had a hard time accepting any opinion other than his own sometimes when it came to score cards, but I loved the guy.
