Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois vs. Joe Joyce - Latest Details Explained By Warren

[1Eriugenus]

Let them fight PPV. I was favouring Dubois but now I'm not so sure.

I don't think the absence of a crowd will make any difference. Neither of them is like Ricky Hatton, Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn or Barry McGuigan where you would get huge swaying crowds chanting their hero's name.

Where is the money going to come from to pay them? Fights that are not PPV get money from gate fee which is also dead now. So what remains? TV rights only? That may be sufficient to pay those 20K, 50K or even one 100K fighters but not those looking for a million or more.

That is why most major matches are postponed or are PPV. Why do you think Fury-Wilder isn't happening? or why Pulev-AJ is delayed or why Whyte-Povetkin was PPV? You simply cannot pay them with gate fee or PPV. You only get low level fights that can be covered using licensing fee.

Agreed. I think Get Em Up is just having a Me Me Me episode. PPV is the best option right now IMO. We all have to take this pandemic seriously, and for now PPV is the only way to do an event this big (at least in the UK).

How is a fight between two domestic level fighters "epic"? It will be interesting but neither is near to a title fight and neither has proven themselves at a high level.

This is for the British, European & Commonwealth title's which roughly amounts to over half of the World & certainly out ranks the likes of alphabet interim, silver, gold, international & inter-continental trinkets!!...

All I’m interested in hearing Warren say is whether Dubois will only be contractually allowed to move at 50% his normal speed. Until then my opinion on this fight remains unchanged.

It's still pretty far from "epic". It's a good domestic fight and should have a lot of interest in the UK, I'm not sure it's a big fight away from these shores though.

Neither fighter has beaten anyone of note.

This is gonna be a horror show. Joyce with his stone chin taking an onslaught of punishment from the younger and more explosive Dubois. The blood-soaked referee finally takes pity on Joe and waves it off at the end of the 10th.
