    It has the potential to bring a wave of new young fans to boxing, and the undercard is stacked. Why wouldn't you care about this? Plus that was pretty entertaining as far as cheap trash talk goes.

    Why would I care about Youtubers having a boxing match? I am a boxing fan

    Why would you care about a boxing match, as a boxing fan? Is that what you're saying?

    With BJS and Haney on the card I know I'll be watching. I personally don't know what the problem is, their first fight did 1.2 million buys, this has the potential to help grow the sport. As a boxing fan I'd have thought that would be reason enough to support it.

    It has zero potential to grow the sport. All the kids are tuning in to see the Youtubers, not Saunders dance around Gabe Rosado for 12 rounds or Haney beat up some random guy. All this will do is keep the Youtubers brands thriving. The first one did nothing for boxing and neither will this. It is literally for school kids.

    Spot on this is a event for 20,000 youtube kids not adults. I actually doubt it will grow the sport at all, otherwise why not just have celebrity boxing on a saturday night instead of pro boxing.

    how many of these youtube kids will actually watch boxing outside of the event I doubt very few, if you look on youtube most are saying they only want to see youtubers cause they dont care about pro boxers.

    If these two novices are serious about staying pro then fine, though neither will go far with no amateur background unless they get tomato cans, would not be the first time though in boxing that's happened we know the dark history of this sport.

    Those millions of "youtube kids" will be paying for the privilege of watching this fight on DAZN. How is that zero potential to grow the sport? More revenue = growth.

    They are coming for KSI and Logan Paul and won't be staying for god damm Saunders and Haney. This is a one off thing unless the Youtubers fight again.

    It won’t, they are going to be bored stiff watching Saunders hit-and-not-get-hit for 12 rounds. All these virgins will be playing Fortnite during Haney and Saunders fights and tune in for the headline fight when it’s time.

    That's what most mainstream boxing fans do anyway, the point I'm making is that there's a reason for hardcore boxing fans to care about this card.

    whats next for subscriptions drives though cruise bieberwhere does it stop

    are we going to have sit through endless novice youtubers on boxing cards, with confused kids in the audience as they see their favorite star carried away on a stretcher cause they cant fight a lick.
