    It`s not looking good for him, I think as a boxing promoter he`ll be in trouble once AJ retires.

    If Hearn's roster has been exposed then that is a positive thing; too long boxing promoters have pushed in house match-ups to avoid their fighters losing to an opposing promoters fighter. I can only hope other promoters can be "exposed" in the same way; it will be great for boxing overall.

    Both Showtime and HBO are out of the boxing business, ESPN is the only American broadcaster left unless you want to count Amazon Prime PPV.

    This is part of the problem tbh.

    He's just put 5 boxers against QB and lost every fight, but he should be applauded for putting his fighters in 50/50 fights.

    That should be encouraged.

    Bivol? Opetai? Rodriguez?

    Thats 3 of the top 10 PFP fighters right there.

    Taylor is the biggest name in women's boxing.

    He has about a dizen world champions.

    Hes doing fine

    I was thinking Sky and BT in the UK. DAZN have failed to make much of a dent in them in the UK. The reason HBO and Showtime ducked out is because of the decline in US boxing and DAZN don't seem to be up to much stateside. ESPN is plugging away from what I'm told. Who was the US broadcaster for the Saudi fights?

    My bad, I thought you meant legacy broadcasters in the US, pretty sure all the states has left in terms off broadcasting for boxing is Amazon Prime & ESPN. Oh and UFC Fight Pass.

    DAZN seems to be doing pretty okay to me, pretty much everybody is fighting on a app now lol.
