Comments Thread For: Usyk Signs With Matchroom; Eventually Wants To Fight Joshua

thats why the ESPN+ app is the best investment by far. Way better than HBO SHO or DAZN. $5 a month for at least 3 boxing cards plus 2 ufc cards plus the regular Espn boxing undercards not to mention mlb, nhl, soccer, college football and original programming.

That price blows everything away. And if u order for a year at a time its only $4 a month.

DAZN I think is supposed to have La Liga. NFL and NBA streaming rights aren’t up for bid yet. When they are I imagine DAZN and ESPN+ will put up some serious bids

But right now they don't have those rights so not sure why you responded with that to my response of SHO having far more additional content aside from boxing.

I love ESPN+. Watched every episode of Kobe's Detail series along with a few other series. Even Dan's show is pretty solid and the other boxing show they have.

they do have bellator and soccer and some car racing I don’t care about. Right now they have way more sports than SHO and cheaper to boot.

Plus showtime is about to lose a lot of good fights to fox

SHO will be fine. All it means is the fighters get to stay more active. SHO wouldn't be investing $60 million a year in boxing to just get decent fights. They will get similar fights to what they have been showing.

And you keep talking about just sports. How about shows like Billions? Or even the mini-documentaries SHO has? How about the Inside The NFL series? Sorry, but DAZN doesn't have close to the content HBO nor SHO has. And SHO will have better fighters than DAZN which will lead to better match ups.

What Soccer league do they have? Is it the EPL? Surely not, is it La Liga? Surely not, and they didn't get the Italian league as ESPN+ has it.

They have right now some car racing, Bellator and boxing that's it.

Understand the deal is 1st fight in the uk and then two fights in America. 3 fight deal to end of 2019.

Obvious fights therefore bellew in uk? Miller in US? Someone else, maybe a Parker or takam in US? Then face AJ 2020

I haven't checked the brackets in a while, but would that be the final or the semi-final?

Final.

Semi 1 is Tete/Aloyan v Burnett/Donaire

Semi 2 is Inoue/Payano v Rodriguez/Moloney

Just heard Eddie hearns interview and he doesn’t mention Miller once? I wonder if he’ll be leaving following his outburst?

That's a real nice signing. A good move for all parties.

I reckon the Lebedev situation will be dealt with and we see Usyk/Bellew next. That's a big fight to start with for Usyk, It will be interesting to see if he makes the immediate leap up to HW then.

Watch that WBA thing magically go away and the Usyk-Bellew fight is on. Winner gets Joshua next.

Yesterday before most Americans knew that Usyk was already signed to Matchroom most were saying Hearn fabricated the WBA not sanctioning the fight and it was a deliberate move by Hearn because he didn’t want the fight. Now that you are aware Usyk is on board, that train of thought has suddenly changed . Poor Eddie cant win with you guys

[Kezzer]

Interestingly Hearn mentioned in several interviews about marching up with Parker or takam; are they both matchroom deals too? The way he suggested them also implied they were on options

No reason not to. The Bellew fight is the only big money pay day at CW for Usyk. Why else stay there? He's already the undisputed champion and proved to be the clear top dog of the division. Time to try his hand at HW....Where even bigger pay days wait for him.
