Ruiz showing AJ too much respect and look like he just happy to be there. Wouldn't be surprised if this ends early :hubie:

your stars are but dust on my shoes
Sadly this fight has little to no hype outside of DAZN youtube videos, UK fans flying over and Eddie Hearn making it sound bigger than it really is by trying to throw shade at Wilder.

I really want to see what Eddie Hearn and Matchroom USA's plan to market is for DAZN as a whole, because as of now it hasn't been great.

-Claims that he can make fighters stars, but what has he done?
(At least with PBC on FOX you can view the fighter's story and camp on national tv..I don't think there is anything DAZN/Matchroom can do that can match this)

-With Showtime at least Devin Haney had his own segment.
(Where was DAZN's marketing for Haney?)

-Anthony Joshua is here but the only hype I see is from UK fans
(Is getting a 2019 Jadakiss to stand next to Anthony Joshua supposed to build hype?)

I will give a thumbs up to the 40 days doc, outside of that, DAZN REALLY needs to step it up in a big way, because as of now, they are on the fast track to making all of these boxers underground stars, not mainstream.

I have DAZN, I just want to see boxing continue to rise like it has the last couple of years. PBC on FOX has been unbelievable so far in making boxing THE NUMBER ONE VIEWED COMBAT SPORT in North America once again. FOX gave them the UFC marketing package with countdown shows, face to face shows and a studio show twice a damn month..replayed until people get sick of it. I don't think people fully grasp how big this has been yet, and it's only going to get bigger as the sport is in it's reintroduction phase. Just wait until the middle of the pack "stars" get built, the momentum is only going to swing up with ratings and buzz.

I feel like fights on DAZN and up and coming boxers on DAZN are taking a huge step back (not financially, but for the growth of boxing). I want to see guys like Haney and Andrade get recognition, not be hidden on a app or youtube channel.

If nobody sees you, you don't exist.

Honestly, boxing promotion over the last 20 years needs to be a case study in the future. The way boxing is promoted and broadcasted now has changed so drastically, and Dazn is the latest disruptive force to enter the market.

Haymon's rise behind the scenes before ultimately forming the PBC series and leading the charge from premium networks back to broadcast networks. They still have shortcomings, and perhaps sticking so closely to cable/satellite broadcasting might turn out to be a mistake, as cable cutting is gaining steam while subscription based streaming does seem to be the future. Nonetheless, they're a big reason why boxing is enjoying any mainstream relevance in America today.

Bob Arum's Top Rank promotion being able to remain a top force in spite of a perceived cold war with one of boxing's larger stables, Haymon and the PBC. To pivot out of HBO and into a deal with ESPN, while also going on to heavily pushing their streaming platform shows why Arum has managed to remain atop of boxing for so long. Incredibly crafty for an 87 year old.

Lastly, Dazn I'm sure is something that most boxing insiders didn't see coming. Standalone streaming platform with deep pockets trying to establish itself in the American market. This is where Matchroom and Golden Boy will have to figure out how to turn Dazn into a relevant and competitive product in the states, and Hearn in particular is also going to have to find a way to expand his promotional company into the states.

There's a lot at stake for all the parties involved. Between the networks, promoters, and fighters, we're seeing these companies fight for that top spot.:whoo:

I agree with the exposure argument, Haney and Andrade aren’t made men like Canelo, AJ and GGG so DAZN is kinda hustling backwards for those “mid card guys with Main event potential” ...But do you work for FOX or PBC? Usually every post is you shilling for PBC or basically shytting on any other promotion :pachaha:
