Boxxer / Sky Sports boxing event last night was not very exciting, but I can easily imagine that Caroline Dubois will be co main event feature within 12 to 18 months. She´s got X Factor.
Jonas a permanent fixture on the commentary team, Mikaela Mayer flown over at every opportunity, crap like April Hunter on main cards... Shalom is a proper feminist aint he. This photo below made me cringe. It’s like he’s trying to be boxing’s version of Charlie’s Angels. This content is protected
It’s awful mate. Talent pool has dwindled but the amount of promotional companies has more than doubled so the cards are shocking as everything is spread thin. I know we all hammer him on here but Hearn’s run from 2015-19ish blinds the utter shyte we get served today.
To be fair, Boxxer are growing and learning all the time. I think Ben is quite dull but with Sky behind him and their experience I have no doubt they will continue to be the front runner on the UK scene. Clearly where they are at the moment is the building stage - they are trying to build the next star who can transition to PPV - whilst no one stands out on their roster I would imagine it wont be too long until they have one.
Surely with the budget they have which Is massive and a lot bigger than BTs ever was. Surely they should have some headliners. Frank got Warrington and fury pretty quickly. Boxxer have lost all the promotional free agents to probellum or wasserman. Signed higher fury who struggled to sell on free tv as a headline fight for a world title. then signed and Australian and American who are hardly household names in the UK or big sellers. unless he gets Whyte, BJS or someone of note soon then questions have to be asked. Can’t have a whole stable of pure prospects. He’s only got a deal for 4 years. By the time they are headliners his deal could be up
Do you think Eddie Hearn / Matchroom delivers a good product to DAZN UK in relation to the money they pay ? Do you think that DAZN feels they are getting value for money ?
Could have more quantity of shows. Given they are not far off breaking even. I think DAZN are happy. Wouldn’t be laying out $100m on another Hearn venture if they weren’t
