It’ll surely be reminiscent of the sort of major events that Don King used to provide during the 1990’s, which garnered massive viewing figures.
Instead, EPSN, DAZN & Showtime staged all these events at (roughly) the same time last weekend, resulting in cannibalisation of audience viewing figures, meaning that boxing will continue to be regarded by the various networks as a niche sport.
The powerbrokers of boxing continue making strange decisions that results in them shooting themselves in the foot!
Thoughts?
