    Pacman vs Broner
    Errol Spence vs Mikey Garcia

    Hurd vs Charlo
    Santa Cruz vs Gary Russel

    Wilder vs Fury 2
    Broner / Pac vs Floyd

    Thurman vs Porter 2

    Thats just the fights that are very likely to be made. Could be many more. Can DAZN or ESPN+ rival this schedule?

    Those first two fights are purely entertaining fights but as prizefighting matchups those are comical. Broner is focused on making weight. He don't care about winning. Long as Haymon paying, he happy. Broner is likely to get stopped for the first time.

    Garcia is going to get smashed by Spence. He has no chance in there. Once the fight starts and Spence starts stepping to him, Mikey is going to be running for dear life.

    The only fight that is somewhat decent is Porter vs Ugas. Ugas has been grinding for a while and it's great to see get his chance finally.

    Cruz vs Russell is the most intriguing match up for me.

    Followed by the Fury/Wilder rematch.

    People will complain about Hearn but one thing he did in the UK was really step up the competition to make better fights. Warren was imo putting on far worse cards than Hearn ever did but once he had some real competition he had to up his game and he did and it worked out better for UK fight fans (apart from our wallets as we now have two subscription channels and three PPV outlets on a regular basis but that's a different debate)

    If DAZN don't achieve anything but pushing Showtime/Fox/ESPN into making better fights then it's good for fight fans and I think we're already seeing that in the US. Competition is turning up and the promoters are having to by default.
