Canelo just fought Fielding on DANZ..that was horrible

Joshua just fought Povetkin, that was cool but nothing to write home about..

No matter what network these guys are on we are not getting the best vs the best on a regular basis..Its all about the promoters getting the most out of these fighters while they can...I dont get why fan try to support these people who make money off of these athletes..

It's absolutely ******ed the amount of back n forth about who should be making what.
How bout just give us the fights we want.
Not care what they are making.

We don't but unfortunately the sport that we all love forces us to pay attention to ratings, PPV deals, and promotional networks because it determines the fights we get to see.

Joshua vs Wilder is a prime example of this. They have not gotten in the ring because they have not been able to settle on a fair deal for both. So we fans were forced to pay attention to the PPV buys when Wilder fought Fury. We wanted it to succeed so that Joshua and his promoter would come to the table, but not to succeed too much so that Wilder wouldn't ask for the moon either.

Now those that want to see GGG and Canelo a 3rd time are forced to hope the first Canelo fight didn't do too good so dazn is forced to sign GGG.

Canelo and Joshua arent poor quality

Give me one fight on DAZN that would've been a PPV fight

You honestly think HBO would put Canelo v Fielding on PPV?

Canelo and Joshua arent poor quality

Canelo fights twice a year, and Anthony Joshua is likely set to fight twice a year now too, except his fights will be at 3pm (since Joshua refuses to leave the UK). And that's without talk of possible opponents (if you're cheering for nonsense like Canelo-Fielding, shoot yourself).

With 52 weeks in a year, you've got two primetime events with Canelo (that might feature good fights), two afternoon fights by Anthony Joshua, domestic British level fights in the afternoon, nonsense like that Jarell Miller fight, and hopes of the WBSS offering something interesting.

As a fight fan, that's a ****ty deal, at almost any price.

Compare that what Haymon currently has on offer; even if it comes to $500 for the year (let's call it $150 for a year of Showtime, and $350 spent on the PPVs for Showtime and FOX), you're getting six 4-fight live PPV cards (Pacquiao-Broner, Spence-Mikey, Wilder-Fury 2, a Thurman PPV, and two more shows), at least 20 quality 3-fight cards on Showtime and FOX, a dozen smaller shows on FS1 mostly featuring competitive prospect fights, another dozen ShoBox cards featuring prospects, and a good handful of extra cards from beyond the US for SHO International.

And you basically get a year of full access to anything that's been produced by Showtime over at least the last 15 years.

Across everything, on just boxing content alone, you've covered at least 30 weekends with fight nights, in primetime, with nearly all of them featuring good to great fight cards.

$120 for 4 cards worth watching, versus $500 for 30 cards worth watching.

$120 for 4 shows just doesn't make sense.
