    No they weren't doing Dana White a favor at all. I'm sure they feel the same way about Dana White as he does about them, they did the fans a big favor that watch both sports.

      Nope. Their greedy as$es only did it hoping those same UFC fans would tune in to watch the Canelo fight. It all boils down to $$$ for them.

        At least have some fill-in fighters on standby just in case. So that your customers don't fall asleep or die of boredom.

        That was so bush league last night. An embarrassment to the sport.
        Damn right
        That was pure fughin crap and really fughin sad
        Hey kind of reminded me of AJ lol
        Hahahahahahahaha
        But honestly I couldn’t fughin believe it , that was horrible
        Better off showing a mismatch than all that filler

            The entire broadcast was terrible. Terrible production values, terrible commentary, Chris Mannix has to be the worst television personality in sports history, the ridiculous commercials between rounds rather than letting us listen to the corners, and the wait for the main event that stretched on forever with no fights to show. It was a terrible production on DAZN's end.

              yeah AND it's still a favor to US, the fans hahha. This wouldn't be a problem if they started the mf main event by 11 knowing that all UFC main events start around midnight. IF they start the main event at 8 in Vegas, that would be 11 for us and it's a win for everyone involved. But nooooo, they want to keep dragging out these long cards with midnight main events(as las night it was almost 1:30

                That's why HBO had tons of films reserved in cases like:
                undercards end in KO's, therefore too much time to fill up.
                In last nights case, not only did the last undercard ended in the 1st round,
                but had to fill an hour of waiting for that ****** UFC fight to end.
                They have no answer for such eventuality.

                Let's hope they learn from such experience.

                I'd probably hire the HBO production crew if I were DAZN.

                    Lol and I know lots of people who called it a night after the UFC event so it is what it is. DAZN bowed down to the UFC and it's casuals at the expense of boxing fans. No self respecting boxing fan watches that trash.

                      That was a trainwreck, they should have moved the date to another day in the first place.

                      Canelo is the sport's biggest star and he shouldn't have been embarrassed like this.

                      Imagine McGregor having to sit around waiting for Wilder-Fury 2 to end before he comes out?
