It is a pity for the boxers that they box on a event that no one sees. Also in relation to their sponsors. We must hope that Eddie Hearn moves the event. That would be the only right thing to do.
Isn’t this going to similar to Eubank v Spike? I appreciate that was a while ago, however Williams doesn’t move his head enough and Jnr is far more explosive than Booboo.
The Dubai card is better than Matchroom’s too. Sky showing Eubank v Williams then the Lomachenko fight, DAZN have Benn v Algieri game changed.
I am really looking forward to this fight. A very interesting euro level fight, with two fighters with contrasting styles, that will gel. Surprised its only in a 7,500 capacity arena. Obviously they think Williams will sell more tickets, as they have put it on his home patch.
Hearn said the other day that Benn is one of the biggest draws in the game, not just Britain. This is the acid test for those comments. Can Benn’s numbers on DAZN vs Algieri really outdo Eubank vs Williams with the sky promo machine behind it? I doubt it.
