Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostThis has nothing to do with Haymon. Sampson just signed this guy a couple of weeks ago. Even if he wins he has no value to Haymon or PBC because this is the 140 division where they don't have any of the top fighters.
sampson could not out bid top rank without haymon either funding or promising to get a TV date for the fight.

Originally posted by Randall Cunning View PostI dont think anyone in the UK will buy the fight off him at that price. Arum was bidding US money, whilst hes bidding UK money. It doesnt add up, theres gotta be more to it.
The event
UK tv money
ESPN tv money
Sampson will make good money because Taylor is a hot commodity right now. And I'm sure the fight will be shown in Thailand also.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostThere is no benefit to PBC to show a Josh Taylor fight. That's a waste of money. Let's say he got 2 million views on Fox. Then he goes back to ESPN. So tell me how it benefits PBC to show a Josh Taylor fight?

It would make no sense to outbid Top Rank to put it on ESPN platform. It certainly isn’t going to DAZN...at least I wouldn’t think so. No reason for them to invest that heavily into this Thai guy.
