News ESPN done with Top Rank … not extending current deal

Everything Boxing going to DAZN + Turki invested there it just makes sense

 

[David R]

Either DAZN or Netflix.

ESPN must be giving up on boxing... and MMA probably too.

People don't like to hear it (and from a Mayweather fanboy of all people), but boxing needed Floyd. Man singlehandedly kept boxing mainstream for two decades.

DAZN baby!! the home of all boxing now...

Boxing needs something new, the floyd nonsense dried up a long long long time ago. I used to buy ppv in hopes of watching Floyd lose and then......I grew up and it faced me money. I think boxing needs to step back from ppv, build talent and build interest to bring back the interest

I'm rooting for MAX.

Better for the sport if TR stays on ESPN. Lame they don't want to pay as much. Rarely miss a TR card anyway, but not missing any until the deal expires for sure.

 

[mozfonky]

we're losing the sport more and more guys. Sad.

 

[David R]

ESPN+ have not really got overseas covered. DAZN has better worldwide except for USA.

Espn seems to be heading towards Stephen A and Pat Mcafee on 24 hrs a day. Max would work for me since I already have it. I wonder how ProBox is making money off YouTube and if someone like Top Rank could somehow find a way to make money. I'm guessing there is a way with channel memberships and advertisements between rounds they could.

Annoying TR fanboys aside, I enjoy their product. Hope this ends well for Bob, Todd and company. I'm hoping for MAX, but whatever is best for TR is good for the sport.

Boxing is more international than ever, the powerful promoters are on the other side of the pond, the most popular fighters are from varied countries, the current “Home of boxing” is DAZN, owned by some Russian dude who can keep throwing billions at it for the sake of it. And the guy behind it all is literally an Arab spoiled fuck who loves boxing and fighting games with an infinite bank account. I mean the guy is going to throw a back to back to back, teo ryan in Times Square then canelo in riyad and then inoue Vegas, just for fucks

Then he goes and charges like 20 bucks for the ppv and doesn’t make any money back but he’s all like “Its all allas plan kiss the ring and fuck off”

So yeah, as long as this crazy ass train we are on keeps rolling, it makes sense to get on it. Bob Arum is going to do that too

And by the way. DAZN is pretty good. ESPN has good content but their app sucks fucking dick.

I thought they already signed on with Turki Sammich, no?

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Max gets my vote
