    Yep. I used to work on UEFA streaming and there would have been a yellow card on the rights, for that kind of outage. Two and the rights would go to auction.

    Given TNT and Sky couldn't get it together on the night for Usyk-Dubois on streaming boxes and Sky Glass, they're clearly in teething after the switch away from BT to Discovery.

    You have a good point and I felt sorry for them too because is definitely not fun and there are some responsible people who must be embarrassed today. Having said that, such a mistake must not happen. It is unacceptable when you produce a huge sports event where the whole world is watching.

    Good on him. Before last night Fury was saying how Usyk would get sued if he doesn't fight in December.

    You have to behave yourself, Beale :) In fact, the historic women's fight on DAZN UK on Friday night was not bad at all and there was an excellent fight on the undercard. The MVP event friday night was better than Matchroom's Mexico event last night.

    Foster vs Hernandez was probably FOTY. Cordina against Foster will be fun. Matchroom can make Hernandez against Mauricio Lara in Mexico next. Brilliant fights.

    I think it's okay with a single musical feature for a sports event, but this was way too much. A few years ago I worked to a K2 Event where Wladimir Klitschko boxed in the main event and K2 / Wladimir Klitschko made as much money from having the musical feature as from the fight itself.

    There has probably been good money in the many musical features last night, but they must be careful that people do not lose interest.

    They would be better off having a 36 minute pillow fight.

    Professional boxing is moving in a completely wrong direction. It's more like a cross between WWE and Circus.

    I certainly do not agree with that.

    By the way: Were there 500 - 600 spectators at Matchroom´s Mexico event last night ?

    The only reason I saw it through to the end last night was because my son went to a party and overstayed, so I was waiting for the "need a lift" phone call past midnight!

    It appeared to be the Saudi version of an Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.

    All that was missing was Big John Fury running out and doing the Macarena
