I wondered a while back how long it would take netflix to start big live events. They have money to burn, and it was a natural evolution.
Do you reckon theyâll start ppv, or use it as bait?
I think netflix is brilliant value anyway, though they could do with beefing up their independent European and World sections, and throttle back on Harlen Coben miniseries filmed in didsbury.

Where now for Donovan. Heâs in that awkward spot where he doesnât bring belts to the table but is an opponent you want to avoid

Theyâre saying they wonât and want to go the advertising route. They need to start making stars again in the US so Netflix is a must really. The global numbers for the biggest fights on it seem to be in the hundreds of millions.
Be great if they bought the rights to Dzanâs catalogue and Top Rank
Boxing in UK is dying a death since leaving Matchroom left Sky in my opinion. Iâd be a boxing fan and iâd hardly know when fights are on anymore.

Very true
A lad I know who has come across him through work told me heâll get caught up in that other life and hardly fight now. Will become very inactive he reckons. The 0 is huge to them.
I generally find myself goggling on a Saturday night or checking in here to see if theres anything on

Great to have profession boxing back in the Stadium. JB Promotions not quite Matchroom or Conlon Promotions but still good its on. Forged Irish Stout sponsoring a few fighters.
On DAZN too for the armchair sports fan.

The fighting pride of Cark Spike OâSullivan back in the ring!
Do the Taylor fight in Croke Park and put womenâs sport in this country on a new plateau. Id say it would be wildfire, the biggest fight in Europe of the year. More significant than AJ and that big wimp Fury. Do it. Those wankers in RTE should be putting up 10 million for it with their see it be it bullshit. Listen assholes, itâs here. Pay them because the loser is losing a lot of caste. I watched Bernard Dunne on terrestrial, this is way more significant.

Whatâs the difference, elite amateur is probably a higher level than pro in womenâs boxing and theyâre the same weight class. They also despise each other. The biggest impediment is neither wanting to lose to the other really as Taylor will be back. Chantelle Cameronâs father has said she will be back but wonât be fighting Chantelle again. What exactly is she going to do? The purse she is commanding, she canât just fight anyone.
Who are you taking about now?
Either way, there isnât an 80k crowd anywhere in the world gonna pay silly money to see two birds go at it in a technical queensbury style

Taylor verses Harrington, two Irish Olympic Gold medalists squaring off, and the antipathy, the history, and Hearn promiting. Theyâd do it alright. The hype would be outrageous.
Why do you think the girl has come back, to get screwed by some idiot judge in an Olympics?
Could put it on at leisureland
At a push
