Says to me they're more interested in just doing Matchroom shows than international fights. Probably more profitable for them
Not really. Canelo is best know to the casuals as someone who was schooled by Floyd. They won't have watched him since so he isn't a big draw. Khan isn't well liked and won't bring in a multitude of subscribers either. No doubt BN paid over the odds and will lose yet more money on the event. They're specialists at that.
It's probably the biggest currently announced fight in boxing so I think it'll do quite well for them. So long as it's on TV somewhere in the UK anyway
surely if you believe that you must acknowledge that plenty people will subscribe if only to see him getting sparked
If it's not a standalone PPV event with an instant purchase option (that Fisheyes and his son were banging on about) then I can't see masses of people subscribing. You have to remember it's at 4/5 am. PaddyGarcia, it's a big fight, no doubt, but doesn't have the casual cross over appeal in my opinion. I have had friends who don't massively care about boxing plan next weekend to watch Joshua as they've massively bought into his hype, but there's been no conversations about Khan and there won't be.
In the UK absolutely. AJ could go on Sky Sports and tug himself off whilst drawing ridiculous viewing figures
Yea just had a email from boxnation massive for box nation. Shame they couldn't have got the pac man fight as well though
I'd imagine that they couldn't have both it was one or the other. Good coup for the channel but the domestic action is threadbare currently.
