OutByEaster? Posted August 4 Moderator Share Posted August 4 It's such a shame that the man who is probably the pound-for-pound best boxer on the planet can fight on a decent card and there's next to no coverage in mainstream media or sporting media - I missed that this was happening last night and wouldn't know it had if it wasn't being talked about here. Boxing has taken the money from PPV and sacrificed so much in terms of wider attention and viewership - PPV has killed the sport in a lot of ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always got the argument for the 'mega' fights to be PPV. But when the Saudi's are essentially funding all of the major shows this year by and large, you would have thought the broadcasters would try and expand their reach and at least have a few of them on non-PPV and open the sport up to a new audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit it was poorly advertised i only knew about the fight as some advertising from crawford on wwe tv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without taking away the performance by Bakoke, I do wonder if maybe Anderson underestimated him a little. Anderson looked gassed by the later rounds. Maybe, just another American hype job.

sheepyvillian Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Listening to Talk Sport and Simon Jordon is really hating on AJ for some reason. He was trying his best to make a case for Dubois in their upcoming fight. Fwiw, I think AJ will come through, after an early scare. I still think Dubois is the modern day Bruno, only not as good as he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
