It is quite simple in reality...

Man, fuck that Mungia/Hogan hogwash on that ****** deez nutz app of Eddie's. Little does he know, nobody truly cares about that dumb app of his and ESPN (and ESPN+) is crushing his app.

He needs to learn how to promote in the US, first.

Hearn the worm... you will learn about America the hard way!

Ummm....because women's boxing had never been big in the States. But Shields last couple of fights on Showtime did better ratings than HBO's last couple of fights. And this fight will be watched by more people than any of his fights on DAZN combined

I'm interested in seeing it, champions fighting champions. Rare thing you see in men's boxing these days.

I'm looking forward to Shields and Hammer.

all I have seen on FBook and IG the last couple weeks is short vids and stories about the shields hammer fight, tbh I dint even realize Jaime M was fighting this weekend as well, Hearns needs to just promote his own shows and not worry about other fights, out of all the fights going on soon I have seen the most buzz on social media on shields hammer and TC/Kahn buts thats just me up in cold Canada where we still got some wet snow falling today on the 11th of April.

If it was on DAZN it would get multiple times more viewers in Germany alone than are ever going to watch it on Showtime.

There are so few even half decent female boxers that they don't really have much choice about who they fight. If not each other, then who else?
