From Steve Kim : For those who don't know (or remember), Golden Boy has a deal with Fox and will air 24 live events a year on Fox's new network Fox Sports 1. Most fights, like this one, are expected to air on Monday nights.
Very nice. I'm glad to see Danny getting the gradual progression in opposition level, Lorenzo's a tough fight for him. And I'm excited to see some MNF's!
Not bad. They're ideal for each other at this point. The loser is set back considerably, but that risk is weighed against the chance to get back in the mix and maybe challenging for a title and/or headlining a bigger TV card soon.
Yeah, and it launches August 17th. There's also going to launch Fox Sports 2, which is going to replace Fuel TV. Fox Sports 1 is supposed to have content from Boxing, UFC, NASCAR, college football and basketball, and MLB (in 2014).
It just so happened I watched the Lorenzo Marquez fight years ago and it left a very bad taste in my mouth. Lorenzo was about a bush league cheap as you could get. Hope Jacobs get this dude outta there.
Here's a new Fox Sports 1 commercial highlighting their content, and it features Canelo Alvarez. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9aUGrlgzU0 Not really thread worthy, so I figured I'd post it here.
