Remember in another convo when you said that Haney didn't expect the Prograis fight to be PPV? The bold is exactly why I don't believe him. Unfortunately, Haney is probably gonna become a predominantly PPV fighter....

I think the seeds are already planted to blame Haney if the fight doesn't do well, in order to protect Garcia's marquee value...especially if he loses....

I understand his sobering view of the situation and I don't doubt that he means it, but anything can happen in the ring...and Dubois is not THAT bad of a fighter. I think Hrgovic will win, but the pressure is already high....there's no need to add even morepressure by publicly contemplating retirem...Last edited by kiaba360; Yesterday, 12:08 PM.

I think it's too soon to declare Ryan Garcia as a major PPV attraction because the sample size is too small. Davis/Garcia is one fight, let's see if he can continue having success....and if he continues to lose, will those losses begin to negatively affect his drawing power.Last edited by kiaba360; Yesterday, 10:51 AM.

A lot of fans rely on the promotional companies to tell them who is worth watching. Promoters are perceived as content creators/curators, and boxing fans began choosing sides based on various reasons.dan-b likes this.

I really dislike when guys say they'll retire after a loss, seems like unnecessary pressure to place on one's shoulders....Last edited by kiaba360; Yesterday, 07:23 AM.

I think MR would prefer if Dubois beats Hrgovic because Dubois/Joshua (all-British fight) makes for a bigger Wembley main event. AJ/Hrgovic is a more difficult sell....

From Matchroom's perspective, I would think that Wilder/Dubois are more preferable for a Wembley main event than Zhang/Hrgovic. Hrgovic really needs a stand-out performance here....

I'd prefer Dubois/Wilder too, but Dubois/Hrgovic is sensible matchmaking from a rankings standpoint. I really don't like what Zhang/Wilder could potentially turn into, but I understand its value. This might be the last chance for both guys, so let's cross our fingers that they leave it all in the ring....mlac likes this.

That would've made more sense if the 5v5 was in the UK. It's a shame Yarde and Smith weren't available....

Buatsi is BOXXER, so that was never a realistic possibility....mlac likes this.

I didn't watch the Beterbiev/Bivol conference because the match-up speaks for itself. Fury/Usyk is probably the bigger match-up, but I'm way more excited for Beterbiev/Bivol....

The cord-cutting phenomenon started in the 2010s, so you didn't have to go all the way back to 80s lol. Isn't the ESPN channel still bigger than the ESPN+ service? Beterbiev/Bivol being on ESPN+ makes it seem like less of a priority. I know Beterbiev/Bivol are Russian, but it's still a big fight....

This is very true. As much as the hardcore fan tends to complain, we've had a consistent stream of boxing content this year. Boxing's paywalls have changed and in some cases have gotten more severe, but the overall quantity and the ability to consume all of it (legally or illegally) has never been easier....Eff Pandas likes this.

PBC won the purse-bid to stage Garcia/Roach. Roach used to be with GBP, but it seems like he's a free agent now....
