    Anyone else feeling the DAZN-ESPN love affair?

    I think these two may have found a common enemy in PBC.

    On a night where Ramirez is crossing over from ESPN to DAZN for one fight, the DAZN announcers...

    ... push PBC to come to the table and make deals with DAZN, citing Davis-Farmer and Charlo-Andrade.

    ... mentions Top Rank several times, including crediting Arum with the idea for a gofundme

    ... interviews Terence Crawford for an extended period, say they’re looking forward to watching his next fight, questions why the PBC doesn’t recognize him as champion and places blame on PBC for him not fighting Spence.

    We’re not in the HBO vs SHO era anymore LOL.

    There’s even a Top Rank logo being shown by DAZN on the video screens.

      Just shows how desperate Dazn is.

      They are insignificant in boxing.

          This is gonna be terrible for PBC. DAZN and ESPN have the best fighters.

            Well, it's unfortunate PBC seems pretty disruptive in the boxing community, often being the common denominator in big/significant fights not happening unless it's an in house event.

                I think its good that there friendly, I think PBC will also join within the year, PBC already works with DAZN

                We are also having Wilder vs Fury

                  DAZN not afraid to acknowledge fighters on rival platforms. They even have highlights of Pac-Thurman on their site.

                  Meanwhile PBC pretended top P4P and WW king Crawford didn't exist.

                  We have a huge problem in boxing, called PBC.

                    PBC is so powerful that DAZN and ESPN need to team up lol

                    You know ESPN is pissed at Top rank after seeing the success FOX is having with PBC.
