Arum is going to be putting more of his guys in squash fights hoping they look explosive. But when you get a result like this, literally no one wins.

that was no title fight. Gvozdyk needs to step up in the next fight

Agree that was a joke of a title fight and they way it ended will also not help future promotions.Also the RR vs Mean Machine was a bad fight and a bad dec TR needs to step it up BIG time now that ESPN is in the UFC business.

Those poor people.....

Wow, poor numbers for a channel that everyone has for free on cable

ESPN is starting to find out that it was a huge mistake giving Top Rank exclusive boxing rights, they needed to allow all promoters to bring good content to their platform and not just Top Rank.

I think they have a couple more years left on their contract. Do you think ESPN will end up letting any boxing promoter on their Channel?

Golden Boy and PBC already had an opportunity to be on ESPN and squandered it. Top Rank has a good enough stable, along with Frank Warren and MTK, to deliver good cards on a consistent basis but matchmaking has left something to be desired in recent weeks.

But the ratings have been poor recently. This isn’t a whataboutism scenario....no network wants poor ratings when it could be filling that time with either something less expensive or something more advertisement/sponsor profitable
