Heavyweight is top heavy and not one of the top heavies is fighting a significant fight like that. The highest profile fight for heavyweight this year is a rematch because of an unexpected result in the first fight
9/26 DAZN WBSS Season 2: Yuniel Dorticos vs Mairis Brieidis (CW Final - IBF CW Title)
- Thread starter patscorpio
- Start date
I'm watching the card for Chisora vs Parker, that's the fight that will bring in the most people.
you might be in the minority on this lol
Am in the large majority, U.K wise at least, which is where the fight is being held and where the PPV sales will come from (no DAZN of course), the hardcores will say Prograis vs Taylor which is understandable cause it's a title fight, I respect and understand that 100 percent. But what will bring in the money will be the Chisora vs Parker fight, Chisora been on PPV before and is popular in the U.K, Parker had high profile PPV fights in U.K vs Anthony Joshua and Whyte too, the casual mainstream audience knows both of them , Chisora has fought some big names throughout his career and has been involved in a lot of big controversial moments. So I get the argument for it's weight class it's a higher quality fight but they aren't as well known, the general public know the heavyweights here a lot more and that's what will draw people in. If it was separate cards the heavyweight fight would do a lot more PPV buys, I think that's Chisora's point, he may be able to squeeze some more money out of the situation because without him vs Parker (unless a quality high level replacement) it won't be PPV, it doesn't matter so much for DAZN cause that's not the model, but for the Sky PPV it would make a huge difference to the numbers if that fight wasn't there. They may even consider pulling it as a PPV because the rest of it would be nowhere near PPV worthy for that audience, that's the big fight for the mainstream audience and the 1 most will tune in for. My guess would be it goes ahead and Chisora gets something on the side, but there's already been internal discussions about even changing the main event, but they may not want to do that as they feel it may send out the wrong message so my guess would be Chisora gets a bit more money or some kind of bonus' in some way and the fight and card goes ahead. Personally as a fan I don't care about the order and will watch the whole thing, but I can understand Chisora's point.

Second favorite fight of the year, think prograis wins because of a knockdown but can go either way being a knockout

Would have liked Hunter vs Chisora more but I guess Haye pumped the breaks on that one

Actually that’s third but I’m going so it’ll probably be my first, Ruiz vs Joshua 2 only because it means so much to boxing

I think Taylor's gonna get slumped. Didn't he struggle against Postol & might've gotten buzzed a couple of times?
Postol is a tough guy....he's no jobber
