    ESPN has better option tho. And Bob has been throwing around that ESPN money.

    I think Bivol will end up at ESPN. Makes more sense.

    Showtime is gonna go the same way as HBO. Sad.

    Let's see who's right. I'm betting on Dazney's streaming service.

    Yeah, why would he want to unify against Gvozdyk or his top contenders Badou Jack and Marcus Browne in front of an audience of millions on Showtime or the Fox Network when he can fight whoever Eddie Hearn can find and box in front of 1,500 people in Kansas on an app that people won't download even it's offered for free.

    Definitely a clear choice.

    I wouldn't be surprised, either.

    I hope Bivol likes Kansas.

    I think Bogdan Dinu is still lost in a cornfield looking for a cropduster to take him to a major airport.

    -Gvozdyk is with ESPN.
    -Bivol turned down SHO.
    -SHO hardly ever cracks a million during live broadcasts(they hardly even come close to these days). So you can forget the "in front of millions on SHO"
    -The Kansas card was a flop.
    - And no one is downloading the DAZN app?

    That's harsh treatment for Romania's third largest export, behind leeches and marmot pelts.

    Hilarious. That article provided ZERO numbers.

    Will they do a follow-up article on how many Mexican fans who downloaded it to watch Canelo that night delete the app once the 30 free trial is over in a couple days?

    And it's the PBC. Showtime/Fox. You're not stuck on Showtime if you sign.

    Unless Bivol is fighting Canelo, yes, it's thousands in Kansas.

    The best option in the U.S. remains any channel where you can get on national television. That's Fox. Charlo-Korobov AVERAGED 1.7 million viewers. And Bivol's top two contenders fight on that network.

    So, of course, look elsehwhere.

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dazn&hl=en
    Installs 5,000,000+
    Happy?
    Can they even get that data?
    And thats besides your original point. You said no one was downloading, I proved you wrong. And now you are swerving to find other ways to deride the app.
    SHO is not tied to Fox. What happened was the SHO looked to sign an exclusive deal with Bivol, which Bivol turned down.
    Doesn't mean that Bivol can't sign with PBC. He could sign with PBC and still end up on SHO.
    DAZN has had shows in the following locations: Kansas, Chicago, New York, Boston and GBP's next card will be in Texas.
    But of course you and your biases are hung on a failed Kansas experiment.

    The best option for Bivol is ESPN. They have a lot of the top contenders at 175, an active schedule and good money.
    But someone else might make him a better option financially.

    Bad business decision, why would you tell the world that one of the three possible buyers is not in the mix anymore, the two others can now lower their bid.

    But the haters on here said DAZN was done with Eddie Hearn.
