    Any clues as to who Top Ranks next broadcaster will be ? The ESPN deal ended last night.

    Supposedly HBO Max or DAZN are the leading contenders.

    I'm sure DAZN's in there pitching, which would make them pretty dominant in the sport. But we know Netflix and Amazon have relatively unlimited resources and have scooped up at least some show-bizzy fights (i.e., Jake Paul).

    That said, Netflix may be sticking to broadband-busting fights and HBO Max may be AWOL just like HBO itself, according to this report that "Top Rank has had 'preliminary talks' with Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery, neither of which went very far. "

    As for me, I'm bracing for another DAZN rate hike.... ;)
