    It's like eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Honey Bunches of Oats for dinner; both cereals are good, but wtf.

    Maybe there's a US/West coast bias, but there's a time for boxing; the Anthony Joshua launch on Showtime worked because he was turning into a star who could draw attention at 5pm ET, but also because Showtime generally did the day/night airing, often with a live late show to pair with the replay.

    Very few folks are going to not watch the NCAAF Conference championship games to choose to watch Anthony Joshua fight from Saudi Arabia
    So you would rather have a shitty Top Rank showcase mismatch as long as it's in primetime, instead of a unification fight on DAZN if it's at 2:00pm?

            DAZN USA have the bigger fights but couldn't bring it on Prime Time so all they got is Canelo v Kovalev to compete in this market

            But you can watch DAZN fights delayed whenever you want, right?

              Dazn has the better schedule overall.

              Top Rank has the best fight in Beterbiev-Gvozdyk imo. That is going to be fireworks for as long as it lasts.

                DAZN by late TKO. Too many compelling matchups.

                    Yea, that fight might be the best matchup out of the lot. Dazn fights are more competitive all around tho, and the bigger fights overall.

                      Only reason why Top Rank can show this good scrap is because Arum paid both fighters peanuts and literally neither guy had a fan base
