No announcement yet.
Don't get excited for Loma-Tank or Loma-Mikey. Al Haymon will block it.

True, it is a much different time. I think there is more to gain by having Loma dominate on another network.
I had hoped ESPN getting involved in the sport would be a good thing. Same crap TR did at HBO they are doing on ESPN.

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostThe thing is, Top Rank NEEDS Lomachenko to fight on ESPN or ESPN+ for ratings. Look at the ratings for his fight this past weekend. Obviously helped from the Heisman Trophy presentation, but good numbers nonetheless. Who else is doing that minus Crawford at TR?

This is ALL about DAZN, very little about giving Crolla the best chance to win.
I mentioned this MONTHS ago during the Wilder/Joshua negotiations, but to me one of the hold ups were the DAZN factor. Hearn knew he couldn't put that fight on DAZN right at the launch as no one in America knew about the product and he preferred pushing that fight to 2019. This way he could sell DAZN for five or six months and then put the Joshua/Wilder fight there adding crazy amount of subscribers. To me that was a underrated factor that very few people, if any, talked about back in June/July.

As for Top Rank making fights with other promoters? Sure, as long as other promoters send their guys to their network. Only time they fight elsewhere is if they lose a purse bid. Want to see TC or Lomachenko? Then you have to come to ESPN. Sorry, but Spence/TC or Garcia/Lomachenko doesn't warrant a split PPV. Neither fight is big enough for that. You can do that with MEGA events like Tyson/Lewis and Mayweather/Pacquiao, but for those two fights? Not happening.
What will be interesting is if Lomachenko/Crolla goes to purse bid. What will Arum do if they lose that bid and the fight has to take place on DAZN? Actually rooting for that scenario.
PBC is just countering him well with giving him bs 3rd tier mfers to fight cuz Bob has painted himself into a corner with always wanting to be lead promoter without paying fighters their value. Can't have it both ways. You need to spend money to make the big fights or you need to let other mfers run the show more often.

Their promoter doesn't wanna share the ball & loves to bean count aka low ball mfers. Thats a sure strategy to fights not happening or fights not happening as soon as they should. And sh^t man thats how its always been with Bob. This is how he does business.

GBP on the other hand? They truly seem willing to send some of their best guys elsewhere. Obviously won't send Canelo, but they shouldn't as he is the ultimate A side.
