Boxing fans get what they deserve

[Boxfan83]

Over the last 2 1/2 years no other network has invested in boxing more than Showtime. Signing Joshua. Showing international fights on their station & YouTube. Making it easy for fans like myself, who don't have cable tv, to watch the fights on their app for the same price as a regular Showtime subscription.

Boxing fans are rooting for Eddie Hearn to stop this, split their roster, and charge you to pay more for lesser quality.

Only boxing fans root for higher prices & more division. Then complain about the price of PPV & the best not fighting the best.

I just illegally stream everything now.

If the price is .01 you're still adding to what you're already paying.

Split the roster and the fighters aren't fighting each other anymore so the quality is lower.

they werent fighting each other anyways for the most part, even within PBC.

3 years, over 200 fighters under contract, hundreds of TV dates, and yet you can count on one hand the number of top-level matchups such as Thurman-Garcia......

[Motorcity Cobra]

You're a fool of you think Hearn or Bob are gonna build up fighters just to send them to fight on another network. You're a fool if you think ESPN or DAZN is going to allow it.

Yet we claim we want boxing centralized. How is HBO doing now a days?

You get to centralization through competition or people working together. And I think we'd both agree its more likely to happen through competition then people in boxing working together as the pieces lay today.

Stop with your blame the fan nonsense

Out of all the fightets you pick one division. Thurman fought Porter also. Garcia is fighting Porter. PBC deepest division is 154, Lara, Hurd, Jermall, Jermell, Trout, Vanes, J-Rock are all in one division and have all fought each other some type of way. DeGale-Jack. Jack-Stevenson.

Who has Zurdo fought lately? When is Main Events gonna make Bivol-Kovalev?

What percentage do you give Garcia-Lomachenko and Spence-Crawford happening?

[Motorcity Cobra]

You got Eddie Hearn saying the Whyte-Parker winner is in position for a Joshua rematch

[Eff Pandas]

I'll be honest if I lived in America I wouldn't be happy at this news.

Showtime
HBO
ESPN +
Dazn

What's that total to pay for a month? A lot.

Then you have $70-100 PPV's on top of that.

I think the UK is extortion and we have it alright here.

Sky Sports and BT Sport/Boxnation is all you need.

BT Sport £16 a month and Sky Sports £18 a month and PPV's £17-20.

Don't all the US channels got apps you can buy w/o having cable now reducing the cost?

If in the UK you are spending £51-54 a month/$68-$72 USD then I think we are paying like $41-$51 in the US.

HBO Go: $15
Showtime Anytime: $11
ESPN+: $5
DAZN: $10-$20 speculative pricing on this still as no official word yet

These prices sound right & all these apps got the boxing sh^t on them???

But yea the PPV's are a kick in the nuts no doubt about that & we are paying more than you guys even with the lesser app option prices with the crazy get rich quick PPV's in the US.

What percentage do you give Garcia-Lomachenko and Spence-Crawford happening?

Idk thats anything has changed recently so I think Garcia vs Loma is maybe 25%-40% to happen within the next 12 months. I mainly think its about if Mikey really wants the fight more than anything else. I certainly don't think Arum is gonna bend much to make the fight happen.

And I think Spence vs Crawford is about 0%-15% to happen within the next 12 months.

Whats this got to do with the topic of discussion doe lol.
