Shows blatantly that Eddie could put on great cards without Turki money if he wasn't worried about the profit margins.
It might be too late, too many people have dropped away from the sport and it's hard coming back in because you don't know any or many of the fighters. So you can put on packed stacked cards, but because the names haven't found their way into the mainstream consciousness, the names mean nothing, there is no public investment in who wins.
There is no story, just guys boxing and that isn't enough to win a ton of fans.
Boxing carries on to an ever shrinking audience. Turki puts money on the top end, but without building fan bases eventually there is no top end.

They want to support someone or see someone get beat and know who is who, it's like 2 football teams playing and the casual fan hasn't a clue who is playing and who for

Yeah, we are slowly losing the sport behind pay walls and fracturing.
There aren't the incentives for people to become fans.
Imagine paying to see Itauma banish the ghost of Dillion Whyte? Why would you?
And he is supposed to be the future star.
Hidden behind a paywall with a PPV on top for a non title fight, not even a British title fight. They really are taking the proverbial and fans are drifting off or tuning out.

Just been browsing twitter and apparently Boxxer’s next card is now being shown on DAZN at the same time as BBC? I hadn’t even considered this, but some people were speculating that might mean DAZN will be the chosen platform for Boxxer’s intended PPV model, so maybe you lucky ‘Ultimate’ subscribers will start getting those in place of a decent PPV card :yay:

i think the dazn move is a bad one unless this joint move involves the bbc/dazn paying for the production

ppv events dazn have flopped when you compare them with other channels
