Comments Thread For: Usyk vs. Bellew In Play For November 10 in London

[KTFOKING]

Usyk/Gassiev
Smith/Holzken LOL
Groves/Eubank Jr

Forgot about Groves vs Eubank Jr. Wait what?

Usyk vs Gassiev was PPV? Damn, that sucks. Thought Sky Sports had a deal with the WBSS?

So yeah, fair to say you Brits do have it worse than us in the states, especially now that Mayweather/Pacquiao are retired or don't fight on PPV.

ITV show the WBSS here, anything that involved a Brit was made a PPV, and they snuck in the final for good measure. DAZN would clear up if they launched here, Brits are calling out for it, suppose its why I find it so weird how Americans could be so opposed to it. It wont happen for a long time though, hopefully when the Sky/Matchroom contract ends, but thats years.

Right on! Could be the fight of the year. To that end, what has been the FOTY in a championship bout??

Usyk always delivers, never in a boring fight.

CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION:

rocky felding is not the WBA champ.

george groves is the WBA world champ.

feldings belt is either the "regular" or "interim," hoth of which mean ur definitely not the world champ.

GET A FACT CHECKER OR EDITOR ALREADY GEEZ!

Opposed to DAZN? Well, most are happy it will pick up the WBSS and it is probably the biggest reason those folks will subscribe to DAZN. It won't be because of the type of fighters they have at the current moment. You are not paying $10 bucks a month for the likes of Andrade or Miller or Vargas. Getting the Joshua fights are good though, and some of the Matchroom cards.

But the main reason people are opposed to DAZN is the amount they have to pay already. About a combined 27-29 bucks for SHO/HBO, 5 bucks for ESPN+, and now 10 bucks for DAZN. Plus you have to have cable for regular ESPN or FS1. Boxing fans pay like crazy as it is, and now you get another platform charging 10 bucks a month on top of everything.

From September to the end of the year we'll have

Joshua/Povetkin
Groves/Smith
Usyk/Bellew
Wilder/Fury
Golovkin/Canelo
Frampton/Warrington
Khan/Brook/Pacquiao

Clearly far too many. In order of sales in U.K. I would suggest this order:

Joshua/Povetkin
Khan/xxx (lower if he's not in it or in America)
Usyk /Bellew
Golovkin/canelo
Wilder/fury
Frampton/warrington

Not added groves as really not sure on that one? When is that fight?

I really think BT are making a mistake launching with two American times and frampton warrington as the other? Still doubt many buy that one?

Friday after Joshua, 28th Sep. No idea what time theyll start it at either, being in Saudi Arabia. Be ITV style though PPV at 5pm on a Friday
