This Weekend Fights: No Buzz...

I agree with everyone. Dazn and Hearn have to stack their cards with a top headlining American or Mexican, mixed with some overseas boxers like Katie Taylor, Usyk, Callum Smith, and other nationalities.
If Hearn is trying to attract American boxing fans, a card like this won't do it. For us hardcores, we know the non-American boxers already, so we'll watch it anyway.
Haney might be the future or not, but the rest of his American boxers are meh.Comment

Casual at work knew who Joshua is, but never heard of Wilder lol. Like others have said I'm happy to watch these fights on the chance of an upset.Comment

The bold: Yeah, that's baffling.I mean its boxing so yea I'm in. And Joshua is must see TV so yea I'm amped for that even if I don't think it'll be very if at all competitive.
But yea I do agree idk wtf Eddie is doing in the US. He's just overpaying UK guys to fight in the US to primarily fans who don't give THAT much of a f#ck about them.
You'd think Eddie would put a bunch of his name US guys on these sorta big cards. Andrade. Haney shoulda fought on this card for his DAZN debut to get max viewers on him.
Instead we are watching a weird ass UK card in the US. So yea I'm not amped for what Eddie is doing overall with this card while still being a fan of the Kelly vs Robinson fight specifically which is the fight I tend to think will be the most interesting fight this weekend. But most US mfers don't give a f#ck about Kelly & won't regardless if he wins, loses or draws this weekend probably.
This would've been a big stadium fight in the UK for them, with many of their own fans cheering them on and appreciating them.Comment

I find it a little hard to believe anyone who is on a boxing forum regularly doesn't know the AJ fight is on this weekend. There are about 20 threads regarding AJ/Wilder/Fury, pay to watch it, thats another thing but its hard not to know its on at least.
I'll be watching for sure, just Wilder's fight and just like Fury's.Comment

Heavyweight is dead. Nobody really cares. That's why nobody knows Joshua here.

Only casuals mostly argue about Wilder/Joshua/Fury BS on here. Not the real fans. The division is mostly without skill and boring at the top. Many respectable members on this site sound like gossip girls on those threads.Comment

Oh no f#cking doubt. Mfers nutting in their pants at this card in the UK I feel like.
But here I've heard they are a lot of open floor seats still in the US which would never be the case in the UK.
Idk if they had their hands tied when Big Baby effed it up, & I suspect they did, but idk why you don't load this card with Matchroom USA guys over Matchroom UK guys.Comment

I honestly didn't know. This fight might have had more buzz if Big Baby didn't get popped for roids. Or at least if Ortiz had stepped up.I find it a little hard to believe anyone who is on a boxing forum regularly doesn't know the AJ fight is on this weekend.

If you are a boxing fan, and don't know who Joshua is after klitschko vs joshua might be time to follow another sport.Heavyweight is dead. Nobody really cares. That's why nobody knows Joshua here. Not really.

But yeah HW is dead, no money or interest at all. Now I agree not getting the obvious fights is frustrating, but come on son.Comment
