Didn't take long for the Misfits bubble to burst!

Let the 15 paying customers vote for the winner?

 

One dude foghting a TBA mystery opponent which he will find out the night of the fight hahah

 

They closed off evening more sections and it didn't sell out

 

I´m a DAZN customer and have for a long time been tired of DAZN spending money on this circus clown show... I remember 20 - 25 years ago when a similar concept was launched in Germany and there was only interest for a year. Let's hope history repeats itself

 

I just think DAZN is the worst value sub out there.

I get their boxing offering is better often because of international cards, but in reality their UK stuff last year was modest.

TNT Sports is cheaper for me, 25 days of test cricket coming up in the next 7 weeks plus some boxing.

 

We can safely state that Matchroom's 2 next shows on January 27th and February 3rd don´t look particularly exciting.

 

It's a shame as McCarthy vs Clarke is a good fight, the rest of the card is dross

 

I am really worried about the future of British boxing. All good quality fights end up in Saudi, while here at home we have to accept boxing fights / events at a much lower level.

 

It's the same in any sport; the elite are being drawn towards bigger money, and the gap between elite and the others will grow unless it's addressed.

Are the likes of Hearn and Warren going to take the percentages from their Saudi efforts and plough it back into UK boxing? Given they have businesses operating at a profit you wouldn't think there'd be any charity involved. It's all very well saying they're "making fights the fans want" but how do the fans know what they want in 5 years time if domestic boxing is lifeless?

I don't follow UFC but would be interested to know how their whole stable and progression system works. People must start somewhere and end up on the big cards. They apparently do 40-ish shows a year with 10-15 on PPV which sounds about right - surely Saudi could put something like that together?

 

UFC don't pay the upper mid to high level fighters enough. They're way underpaid.

But the entry pay for bottom tier fighters seems to be 15k/15k, which is much better than boxing. 3 fights a year with a couple of victories is a decent wage (if you work another job alongside it).

 

Aye, I've heard about the pay scales outside of the superstars, but at the same time it appears to be a sustainable business which progresses people on merit rather than promotion. My point being, if Saudi was properly interested in boxing they could buy out 3-4 promotions and put them under an umbrella so the rivalries are taken away? Up to them how they pay the fighters after that.

Current model of Championship Manager-style selection of fights at any cost just lines a few pockets.

 

I'm guessing there is a vested interest for them to plough profits into the domestic cards, keep the convyer belt of boxers to get coined up in Saudi running.

So I'd hope they will, said before, I'd happily have Frank doing less shows but doing these 7 domestic title type cards.

 

Seen some highlights on Twitter, some bloke called Not Logan Paul who looks like shaggy from scooby doo, got completely banjoed by some other fella. He also got run over by a car the day before his fight too!

Also what seems to be a midget getting knocked out by a skinny little fella.

Can't be long until someone gets seriously hurt on this.

 

there seems to be a worryingly high level of folk getting completely banjoed on these cards. Don't think many of them have much brain cells to begin with but still

 

The refs are shocking caught one fight think it was the Paul spoof bloke he was hanging over the ropes gumshield hanging out badly hurt the ref just stood there while the other guy carried on pummeling him its dangerous and stupid.
