wheres this hype coming from though man? theyve been in the same division for a few months and i dont see any hype coming from anywhere, nothing seems to be gathering any sort of steam. i really dont see anything in that match up which is going to get casual fans saying i must buy that fight, neither guy has a personality that sells and they both have the same fanbase which takes away a lot of the rivalry in the build up which is one of the main things that get fans on board, people want to take sides and cheer on one fighter passionately. The biggest fights usually have two opposite and passionate fanbases

Great point my guy. This is basically where promoters are going to have to come in handy. The networks, bob, and Espinoza are going to have to manufacture some hype for this fight. both guys are camera shy and don't really promote themselves which is a darn shame because its only money out of their own pockets. They don't have to be Mayweather or goldenboy but atleast talk when your own an interview.

so who is making great fights man, that was my question

Plenty of promoters. GGG vs Canelo Jacobs vs Derrevahcenko, Ramirez vs Orozco, Anything in the WBSS. All great fights that Al Haymon has nothing to do with.

Lomachenko vs Linares was bigger than any Showtime fight this year.

Great for boxing, would Wilder would be fighting on that platform? I seem to remember when DAZN was announced, some use that as another excuse to throw shots at Joshua. Are those posters doing the same here?

Not all fights are huge fights. Are u on crack? Not every fight is gonna be a huge fight. You act like most boxers are superstars and ****. But it goes without saying that GB and TR put their fighters against better competition as oppose to pbc. Especially considering all the danm fighters pbc have wich is hilarious. Also gb and tr constantly put their prospects in better fights to improve them (jojo diaz, stevenson, garcia etc

those are not great fights man, decent sure..but not great...there is not promoter constantly making great fights because they refuse to all work together and there are to many damn network deals... Thats why we get a lot of pk fights and very few great fights

The article didn't talk about it but supposedly there's suppose to also be shoulder programming. And now Fox is invested in making sure PBC gets good ratings instead of just taking their money and putting them on TV. Now they'll have better lead in shows. It'll come on right after a high rated television show so they can retain some of that audience. And also more advertising.

I think that'll make all the difference. The programming decisions have been altogether bad at times. Boxing has proven time and time again that it CAN pull numbers when it's done right.
