I would be very surprised and impressed if Bolotniks is JB's next opponent! I rate Bolotniks highly, he's immensely strong, durable and has good power. He would cause any British LHW big problems, and probably beat most. So if that is Buatsi's next fight, that is one hell of a step up!
That was shocking at the weekend. All that loot Mayweather has accumulated and he still hoovers more out of the PPV Mugths
I don't see buatsi getting beat by bolotniks. I thought callic was a good test and see bolotniks as the same. Buatsi should win this in a tough fight but come out of it a better fighter. I think this is good match making. If he loses then he goes back to the drawing board but I think he does the job.
Bolotniks won almost every round against Hosea Burton pummeling him around the ring Buatsi hasn't even beat a Hosea Burton level fighter yet. I'm expecting a pull out and a Hungarian former Yarde opponent to be drafred in at late notice. After all the careful matchmaking of Buatsi I'd be very surprised if they suddenly chucked him in with Bolotniks
Bolotņiks had beated up better fighters than Calic, ofc vs eddie fighter he already had lost on cards. I'm not sure that he might be able to win Ward or Michel on cards too, pro boxing is not sport here, live with reality. On cards of course no. Pro boxing is entertainment business and big business needs next superstars like maybe Buatsi might be created up and form PROPER countries, let's be more open about reality and with proper promoters. Like this yeah. Eddie needs Buatsi to look very good and vs Bolotņiks did not had looked better fighters than Buatsi ever had in the pro ring. Far above Calic for sure. Not only Burton, CW Nielsen did not looked good vs Bolotņiks, of course pro boxing is business and cards are next fun there in german event vs Sauerland boxer. For sure bunch with more known boxers Bolotņiks had fought with were top 100 ranked, majority of them are even today. Eddie ofc does knows that on cards Buatsi already had won, still risk that Buatsi might be turned into WardII, Gasanov II, Prusak II, Cordoba II or Michel II and then cards will not help. While there are a lot of enough well known boxers ranked in top 100 for Buatsi to pick up.
Absolutely, though I imagine Sky didn’t pull up many trees regarding buys for that nonsense at 5am on a Monday morning.
I don't want to get into arguments about scorecards. It's always favourable to the home fighter any close rounds. This is anywhere in the world. If its controversial it doesn't put him in a good position either. People have eyes and can see if someone has been robbed. A close win is slightly different, but a clear loss and getting the decision isn't helping anyone. There have been a few over here now. I used to think it was germany mainly and a few shockers in Vegas. We are starting to do the same but its the draw who everyone makes money from.
Not only close rounds. On cards Buatsi already had won this one for sure. . Actually I suspect that Germans had learned from U.K traditions and ppl were shocked: how they can afford to do the same as we are doing? I'm not delusional, in pro boxing Buatsi and Bolotņiks pair looks like this: one is undefeated pro boxer, former olympian with medal from large country, another: some nobody from small country, nothing special.
Very sure this is genuine Reason being, week 1 has the rematch of Martinez vs Barrett scheduled, only to now have a line through it. Barrett's mum has recently died so makes sense the fight is now delayed Eddie, hyping this up saying he has a unbelievable lineup, Koogan was making female orgasm noises when Eddie secretly shown him the lineup, and this is it???
I think its more the Paul brothers fans buying the PPV's. Jake Pauls last fight did big numbers as well. Those two can fight anyone it seems and they will sell PPV's. I'm surprised Hearn and Dazn are not offering KSI big money to sign for them and get him fighting. He will get subscribers.
Was a strange decision but they must have looked at the KSI v Logan Paul numbers and believed a large percentage of those buys came from Logan Paul fans rather than KSI fans.
There are some decent fights amongst fight camp but my issue is I don't see a single fight that wouldn't have been made with Sky. So the standard is invariably going to be the same
Usually they put the PPV main events on their YouTube page the Wednesday or Thursday after. This was up on the Monday, whatever that means.
