    Turning pro?
    No headgaurds?
    Staples Centre?
    DAZN?
    Pros on the undercard?
    Mental.

    These two have huge YouTube followings and the first fight must have pulled in a lot of cash for Edward to get involved.

    Eddie has them £££ signs in his eyes

    I'm fine with this. I mean, I have to sit through countless terrible mismatches of skillless overweight HW's on some of these undercards, and they bring in zero subscribers or fan interest to the sport. These two clowns sold 10 million PPV's on Youtube, the jackoffs who paid to see that, many of them will pay to see this, and in the process they'll also get to see Saunders, Haney and Hunter, and maybe end up being a fan of one of them, peaking their interest enough to hang around and watch the next DAZN card and the next one, so on and so forth.

    Regardless, how does it affect any of us positively or negatively ultimately? Who cares. It's a joke fight, but people want to see it, let them see it. The only thing I care about is how the commentators teat the match, if they try to legitimize it, then I'll be pissed.

    I dunno...
    For me, if it’s an event on its own for their tween fans to see, then fine whatever, but to be part of an actual boxing card with other pros who have trained their whole life to be a part of, then yeah, it puts a stain on the sport.

    Too dramatic?

    I don't disagree with your assessment or why you'd have an issue with it. It's crap, but I merely chose to look for the silver lining here, maybe it'll get actual boxers a little more attention and the sport may slightly benefit from it in the long run.

    Is this a WBO eliminator? Billy Joe Saunders to face the winner in a field with temporary seating around the ring.

    Lol it's funny how the undercarders could beat these dudes with their hands tied behind their backs. It is what it is though, money rules everything.

    DAZN need to step up their game and put out something quality....it feels like there hasn't been a good card on since last Rungvisai fight....now Roman is injured...Canelo is not fighting in Sept...next thing to look forward to is in Oct GGG -Derevyan. Basically 1/3 of a year without a good fight card.

    Its a subscription service...we just giving our money monthly to Canelo so he can sit on his ginger a$$.

    This Logan Paul fight is fecking trash...

    It’s a smart business move to be honest. It done HUGE numbers first time around. It’s solely to boost his DAZN subscriptions

    The audience for these guys is online in general. The generation that follow these guys will find it extremely easy to download and sign up to an app. If only half of the viewers that saw the first one subscribe DAZN will have generated a crazy amount of new subscribers. On top of that the brand awareness will go through the roof.

    Logan Paul YouTube followers - 19.7m
    Ksi instagram - 6.5m
    Logan Paul Instagram - 16.3m
    Ksi Twitter - 4.9m
    Logan Paul - 5m


    That’s a lot of eyes on the platform.
