    I'm not surprised.

    Boxing can't really create stars anymore. Gone are the young, braggadocious, slick skilled, power punching, entertaining Americans, bring on boring dudes with no English or personality. Turning pro aged 34 after 17,000 amateur fights.

    Where are the fighters the youth would want to get behind?

    Boxing needs Haney or Tank to pan out as the real deal because outside of them two there's nobody who can be the face of boxing and lead it to anything but an Era of being a fringe sport.

    Not surprised.

    Boxing (outside of the big stars who fight 1-2x a year) is a Niche, fringe sport.

    You do realize Logan Paul is more famous than Canelo, right?

    Dazn is a young person friendly App which was PERFECT for this event.

    Of course boxing has to go and mess it up by putting Billy joe Borednders and Haney vs a spoiler on the undercard.

    If there was ever an undercard for a couple of heavyweights with big power and glass jaws this was it.

    They can, they just don't know how to.
    Canelo could be a big star, but they ruined him with all their side A bs

    It’s amazing the numbers these pull. They’re not even proper celebrities!

    I hear Tommy Fury might be on the Dubois bill in December, if so Frank needs to start shouting it from the rooftops because he’s the only other one with that sort of pulling power at the minute.

    This. You think it’ll never happen but it does. The mentality of the people who dismissed the Beatles as not proper music/just a load of noise will never go away!

    It has already been a fringe sport for most of this century.

    Next up Pewdipie (sp?) in a (bro)fistfight against one of the Korean T-series executives. Pretty sure it will do numbers boxing has never seen

    Basiclaly they make short videos and put them on their YouTube channel for people to watch. KSI got big by making videos of him playing Fifa and Call of duty on the PlayStation then started making more and more different content.

    They really do not need to box again to attract them type of numbers.

    KSI and Logan Paul could have been playing darts and it would have still done 500k buys.

    DAZN , Matchroom and Sky should just sign them up to an exclusive contract and give them creative freedom as content providers.

    There are much safer ways for them to monetise their audience at a scalable level.

    Boxing needs them more than they need boxing and encouraging novices to box professionally is not only dangerous, its exploitation.
