Why is there no Facebook/YouTube stream for Frank Warren undercards?

    Seems ridiculous to not offer a streaming feature before they go live on BT Sport. No one knows who Warren's younger fighters are because of it, and when they do make it into a Title fight it means nothing to most as they dont know who they are. Say what you like about Hearn, but at least you can watch his prospects live, and they build a following.
    E.g. Willy Hutchinson, Ryan Garner, Zac Chelli, Lucien Reid, Harvey Horn, etc.

    Cost probably. Although foreign broadcasters often show more undercard fights than the domestic broadcasters.

    Is there any real demand?

    Frank will be relying on those up & comers to be selling hundreds of tickets to friends and family. Putting the fights on a free stream means many of those potential customers will just watch on Facebook at home.

    Warren's not really built any of his own ticket sellers in the UK. Even Fury v Wlad 2 couldn't sell.

    He needs to try something.

    I think that’s what he’s trying to do with Yarde and Dubois.

    But it would get them known to a wider audience which is surely more important for the long term?

    Hearn has managed to attract the modern lad culture and football fans pretty much
    Warren I thought by know would've been superseeded by his son or needs a more slick modern front man

    I think its alot to do with bt. i remember them selling the boxing as a night watching sport on bt sports1 . They were saying you start with the football then the boxing and maybe cross over to the ufc. They should at least put the undercard fights as a tape delay until the next day either put it on bt or boxnation. I know they still do the commentary and film the undercards, because in the past they have shown an undercard fight at a later date
