Comments Thread For: Promoter: Fans Should Be Happy; Joshua-Povetkin '50-50 Fight'

[filup79]

What hes saying is for his big cards, if he spends $13mil on purses, its the equivalent of a PPV that generates $30mil/430,000+ PPV sales. Noone takes a cut out of the money, DAZN only want subscribers. Thats how the model is changed.

What big cards can he actually make? He doesn't have the fighters for it. Any US based fighter aligned with Showtime/PBC, GB/HBO and ESPN/Top Rank wouldn't be fighting on DAZN especially when they could promote their own US PPV. Those networks are going to lose out on PPV revenue.

If DAZN or a new rival works in the U.S, then fight fans can look forward to lower subscription fees and no PPV. What's not to love?
Why would a boxing fan not want it?
Some folks would rather pay more than face change I guess.

Espn + is $5 dollars so why would people jump on $20 for DAZN.

Who cares.... snooze fest.

does anyone have an issue that Povetkin gets a title shot after cheating?

Ortiz did. He's been popped for steroids as well as testing positive for a steroid masking agent before his first scheduled fight with Wilder.

This should be a great fight, maybe more competitive than AJ vs Wilder would have been, if it had happened. AJ would beat Wilder easily, imo. Not so sure about Povetkin. He's a dangerous opponent for anybody.

**** you. **** Povetkin and **** this fight. It won't get a single solitary view from me.

does anyone have an issue that Povetkin gets a title shot after cheating?

Not if he stops Joshua. Joshua ducked the peoples champion (Wilder) so losing to Povetkin would be poetic justice. However he'll probably KO Povetkin, but I can dream right?

[OldTerry]

This guy is an excellent troll but he is right when he says this is a great match up. Yet you’ll still get Americans crying

We Americans are not crying, we have the true champion you know, the one with courage who all the rest fear (except for Fury). Whenever I think of Joshua and Hearn I pinch my nose because of the stench.

See this the thing that bugs me look who has AJ fought since Dylan white all the way to fight povetkin then look who has the Alabama fraud fought And most likely the Alabama fraud is going to fight a old fat bum Or AJ leftovers smdh but hey wilder can pretend to be champion till AJ comes for that belt aj the new unified heavyweight of the world and wilder still hasn’t gotten up from that brutal right uppercut bring the smelling salts lol

AJ will never come for Wilder's belt. Fear has a way of stopping a man in his tracks. Used to like AJ but I have lost all respect for him, coward that he is.

[OldTerry]

I do, but I guess the question is how long after a failed test before we're ok with a guy fighting for a belt? Even bigger issue is how many times has he even been tested in the past year and how good is testing for AJ-Povetkin going to be?

I'd like to see Pov, Fury, Ortiz, Whyte, have to pay for their own extra testing 365/24/7 for the rest of their careers to ever get a shot again.

Probably should be testing AJ as well. Rumor has it he juices with the best of them.
