Me: You watching the Andrade fight tonight?

Barber: Yea I wanted to check him out. It's on ESPN right?

Me: Naw he's fighting on a new app

Barber: On the ESPN app?

Me: No. A new app called DAZN

Barber: Yea I heard of that. Imma have to check it out n

The barber knows who Andrade is. He knows ESPN broadcast fights now. He knows about ESPN plus & DAZN. He's not a casual fan but he's not as hardcore as we are. He follows the sport but needed direction me where to watch the fight. IDK if he watched or not. But I know if it was on ESPN he'd watch it because of ease of access.

An American boxer won a major world title and probably only 20k people saw it. Explain to me how this is good for American boxing.

Takes time to grow. I think we need to wait for the first Canelo fight to see how exposure goes.

was a lot going last night MLB Playoffs, NCAA College Football, Lebron James first home game with the Lakers

Boxing didn't even trend on twitter last night, Casual Sports fans only care about BIG FIGHTS or Certain Fighters the rest they're not tuning in for

With so many players in the game now there will be shows almost every week…. Multiple shows per week. No question it is going to get confusing for the fans to follow. But one good thing for us is it gives us options of which cards to watch on that certain day and flip to another card if one just isn't cutting it.

Eddies Matchroom card lost out to another card that was on DAZN (WBSS matches) in my house

I don’t even know what to think of that lol

perhaps one day Haymon will start streaming fights, that way you could start 20 threads about how brilliant a business model it is...........

It sucks! I was out all day yesterday and not even the ******* sites have uploaded the DAZN fights! I'm thinking COME-ON! This the second week nobody uploads DAZN fights! its like nobody, not even the hardcore are using the app to capture those events! I mean I bet DAZN is striking YT accounts just for uploading bum ass Tevin Farmer vs. that euro-bum last night! They should be giving us that free on youtube.

trends are customized for you based on whatever settings you have ticked or unticked, the fighter names were trending all night long but the #AndradeKautondokwa hashtag didn't do so well because of the unusual spelling. Was a lot of sport on though as you say, and PFL10 too (MMA)

I think #AndradeBJS or #BJSAndrade would've been used a lot more if they had fought as scheduled.

DAZN have to get College Football games, Baseball games, and Soccer games on there soon

I seen absolutely nothing about the fight it was all Dodgers, Lebron James and Lakers. The most talked about fight last not wasn't a Boxing match it was the two NBA Players Chis Paul vs Rajon Rondo
