Which HWs does ESPN have anyways? Pulev, Rivas and who? Maybe they can make a legitimate run at Whyte now?

Originally posted by Tom Cruise View PostIt means the chances of the rematch happening in the next few fights just took a huge nosedive imo.
The announcement was ‘ESPN has exclusive rights to Fury’s next fights’
Which to me rules out a co promotion of any kind. I guess it depends on how tied in Wilder is with Showtime. Maybe Al would let him go to ESPN if the money was there because the exposure would be massive.

Bob has already put Loma on Showtime, so the precedent is there.

Originally posted by _Rexy_ View PostWay I see it, they get to double the promotion (the promotion will be on Fox as well as ESPN) and the PPV will likely go to Showtime since (correct me if I'm wrong) ESPN doesn't have it's own PPV. The fight won't be a $4.99 ESPN+ fight.
