If Deontay don't accept his payday Hughie is going to be earning more than him soon!

I will say it anytime anywhere, boxing has left the United States for the United Kingdom and citizens of Uncle Sam should accept it.

Hopefully, I think the WBSS have an understanding that the winners of a few upcoming fights will enter, we just need to hope that Taylor wins his next fight.

Boxing viewership in the U.K is definitely crushing the US right now, but there are a lot of factors. The average ppv in the UK is about 30 dollars whereas Americans are being charged a small fortune for the same card.

Just wondering, for anybody that is familiar with British and US television, what is Channel 5 comparable to in the states? I know it's free to air, but it's also not a sports channel right? Something along the lines of CBS or NBC?
