Really surprised by the show. Seems like Max has been given a lot of freedom to say what he wants on the show. Honest coverage on the sport, a legitimate show that doesn't skirt around boxing's shortcomings.

It's good that they have this and that they put Kellerman in there.
Also that they talk about all networks and fighters not only ESPN.
I like overall how ESPN approaching their boxing content aside of some strange shyt in scheduling between ESPN and ESPN+. They have this show and they also got together the best broadcasting team in boxing right now imo. It's surely them or Showtime.

Lopez is confident as he should be but it was interesting when he said Farmer is a fighter who knows defense well but not offense. Doesn't he feel that he is kind of the opposite? It's not like he'd be a face first brawler but mostly relies on his reflexes and not so difficult to hit. I don't think that they will put him in with Loma just yet, maybe next year. They gonna try to get him the WBC belt if Mikey vacates it (I think he will) and that would mean he will have to fight Campbell and possibly Haney too so no guarantee that he comes out with his "0" intact after that, it would be a bold move though and if he can take a loss well mentally then even in case he loses it would be good learning money.

He said Tank Davis and him are not alike. I don't think any 2 fighters are the same but I think they have a similar style, idk how others see it.

I would be shocked if Lopez gets Loma at all before he eventually has to move up, Arum's track record of making these kind of fights in-house isn't good.

Really impressed with FOX, and the entire presentation for the presser. This is 100x more than I thought we would get with this deal already. They also have a mini camp series starting next week on FOX for the Spence/Garcia PPV.

Already building upon the Plant/Benavidez rivalary as well, great utilization of a gigantic platform! They had their social media handles shown as well, this is how you build stars.

Showtime needs to take notes, IDK wtf they are doing with their budget so far this year..but they are not off to a good start at all (PPV is not included in budgets).

So far this year even ESPN is bringing it more than Showtime.

FOX followed by ESPN are leading the charge this year.

I think we are going to see stars made at a MUCH quicker rate than ever before, thanks to all the extra programming that FOX and ESPN are putting out (esp FOX)
