    TNT put Crawford vs Spence on PPV, so fairplay to DAZN leaving it as part of the subscription. I have no interest in the fight but it's great that it isn't PPV here, following on from Davis vs Garcia not being PPV either. US fights shouldn't be PPV here in the UK unless they are extreme mega fights. Davis vs Garcia not being PPV was great for us UK fans and hopefully the big US fights continue to not be PPV in the UK.

    How can you have no interest in this fight? It’s a big one between 2 top, top boxers whose styles should jel well. It’s going to be a belter. Canelo better have his A game on, John Ryder this ain’t.

    Because Matchroom aren’t promoting it. He also said he had no interest in Spence v Crawford but has been raving over some crap Matchroom card from a function room in Florida over the weekend.

    And in the opening post I said I am not interested. It will not be on PPV.
    Nothing to do with that. The Florida card had some UK fighters and I was interested in Hitchins stepping up against a world-class opponent in Zepeda as I thought it would be competitive. Hitchins is also a future opponent for Catterall. They both have boring styles too.
    Charlo is moving up 2 weight divisions to fight Canelo. I know Charlo is a big guy but I think Ryder would have beat him at 168. Rumour has it that Golden Boy and Matchroom are working on making Munguia vs Ryder which I think Ryder will win.

    I have no interest as the fight won't be competitive in my opinion. Canelo against Plant, Smith and Saunders were much better fights on paper. I wanted to see Canelo rematch Bivol or fight Benavidez instead. He has 3 fights with PBC so hopefully by this time next year he would have fought Benavidez. I think PBC's plan is to do that fight on Mexican Independence Day weekend in 2024.

    So you’re interested in Hitchins v Zepeda (Matchroom) but not Spence v Crawford and Canelo v Charlo (non-Matchroom) :lol:

    No interest in Canelo v Charlo because it’s not competitive but watched Benn vs some Mexican gym sweeper. Give over pal :lol:

    I think this will be more competitive than those 4 you mentioned. The timing could be just right for Charlo.

    I would very much like to see Canelo box Benavidez, who would dwarf him in the ring. Not convinced that one happens yet.

    I disagree. Charlo has been inactive and is moving up 2 weight divisions. Charlo vs Tszyu and Canelo vs Bivol / Benavidez were the fights I think everyone wanted. One positive is that Charlo will almost certainly not return to 154 so the belts could become vacant giving Josh Kelly an opportunity to fight for the World Title.

    However, I can see Charlo going back down to fight Crawford. We could see Canelo vs Benavidez and then Crawford after the Charlo fight.

    Fantastic News ! Thanks to DAZN UK :) I feel like I'm getting something back for my subscription. PBC's card on Saturday is fantastic.

    Agree it’s a really good undercard.

    I posted on another thread, last week, that Charlo/Alvarez will be on TNT, as listed on their site. Why would it be on DAZN?
    Wish it was an DAZN, as I have no access to TNT, however!
