Has there ever been a good fight on ESPN since they signed Top Rank?

    Compared to DAZN, ESPN + sucks even with the addition of BT Sports. What happened to their roster of fighters? They have perhaps the smallest and weakest stable of fighters in the world.

    Which is why Top Rank is so eager to work with Al Haymon because he needs Al. Al holds all the cards and hens in the chicken coup. Bob Arum needs Deontay Wilder and Erroll Spence, Jr. To make certain matchups for his fighters to happen.

    ESPN + is in dire straits at the moment. Right now DAZN is threatening to put all of ESPN + boxing content on their platform out of business.
    lol al needs top rank. He has no one for wilder to fight. That’s why we got stuck with the pointless Breazeale fight of Joshua’s leftovers and getting a pointless Ortiz rematch. He also needs top rank or DAZN for 130. They have on one for tank Davis.

    DAZN has most of the heavyweights not Al. Top rank really only needs welterweights for Crawford. Everywhere else they are fine. They control 175 135 130 and are in good shape at 122 and 126.

    It’s petty evenly split between pbc tr and DAZN

            That Saucedo fight against that Australian was a fight still glued to my memory. It was fantastic.

              Ridiculous thread. I'm a Bob Arum hater and I never miss a TR card on ESPN.

                thats what theyre doing minus the name. most of the espn cards are on fridays and the budget is significantly lower than espn plus. i dont see much of a difference

                      Not just that but also it kept the casuals aware of what transcended during the week in the boxing world
                      And most importantly it wasn’t restricted to one platform ( Top Rank )
                      It was just ESPN’s Friday Night Fights
