Brits will take over the promo game in the US OF A

And that would give you pride wouldn’t it....make you feel important if a Brit was important in the USA

I think that was some kind of attempt to relate to the “urban” crowd in the USA ie inner city youth types....it had an attempt at Ebonics sort of feel to it

No, not everything revolves around the USA. It's German, Dazn wasn't even active in the USA when it was created. Dazn initially launched in Europe and Japan.

You have to agree with the sentiment. Dazn growth is obviously wider than matchroom, capturing golden boy, WBSS and GGG are all huge coups - even if Eddie had some part in some of those deals.

But outside of that, even looking at the matchroom only cards, there is definitely improvement happening overtime. His cards are always stacked to the position where I personally I’m annoyed sky sports aren’t showing enough of the card in the uk. But I still think the matchroom cards need a few extra “buzz” cards. Now he has Joshua and Jacobs who are probably at the level so drive those sort of cards and quite a lot at the next level but I do feel like he needs at least one more “A” star for matchroom itself. That’s my personal view.

I like katie taylor I truly do think shes also decent looking which helps her value,but in no reasonable world does she deserve anywhere near 5 mil or even more than 1 mil,most male boxers don't make near that amount & womens boxing would never in a million yrs justify that amount for 1 simple reason= Nobody cares about womens boxing. To top it off theres barely any womens boxers & she only deserves to make as much as she generates which would never add up. Shes very popular in Ireland so unless she headlines as the main event there vs a big name shed be hard pressed to ever make a mil dor 1 fight. Feminism has no place in boxing.

It's your opinion. I don't agree.

With all the money Hearn and Dazn are throwing around, she deserves much better. She's one of their bigger stars. I don't care for feminism, I care about human rights.

how is it human rights to subsidize women boxers? Its bad enough when the gov subsidizes corn,now boxing too?

Like I said USA holds the key to a.j. being known world wide.if he's able to beat wilder then he'll be on LeBron James Usain Bolt and babe Ruth level

He must be to a boxing casual or a guy who likes other guys. Too much hype for this guy, who doesn't even have a D level boxing skills. Wilder is even worse.

This is a boxing site, not a man adoring site. From boxing standpoint, Joshua is average.

Hopefully we get to see more up & coming US prospects fighting in the UK & vice versa. The experiance & exposure of fighting abroad is invaluable for young up & comers.

I'd probably watch the Usyk fight live and watch Wilder knock Breazeale out on DVR. It's just bad business to try to compete with Wilder.

Hearn said today the Usyk fight is probably going on May 17. Smart decision not to go up against Wilder-Breazeale.
