That fukking sucks.
That's exactly why he wouldn't be eager to fight Andrade. He's got a big payday with GGG coming up, why risk it? He's gonna end up fighting a Sulecki or Luis Arias. Gonna have to fight until after the GGG fight to see that fight to happen

That's horsehshyt.
I get it. Doesn't he already get his money guaranteed though with no ppv? No guarantee Nelo beats Jacobs either.
Man GGG vs Andrade would be fun.

ESPN and FOX are just not the kind of competition a premium network usually competes with, the market changed, ok idk if they compete with Fox cause both PBC but you get it

Think with the head of GGG's promoters/matchmakers though...
A megafight with Canelo is on the horizon.
"Let's fight a skilled, tricky southpaw as a set up?"
The money is guaranteed, but I don't think he's going to risk that GGG or Jacobs payday. Keith Idec from Boxing Scene has already said don't expect Andrade to be GGG's first opponent.
I'd like to see DAZN stack these cards a lil better since they got so many major players in certain divisions. I don't see why Andrade couldn't be on the undercard of a GGG fight or even Canelo vs Jacobs. Boxing used to pair bouts up like that all the time in attempts to make future opponents for the winner, but nowadays everybody be getting their own dates and everything is done so random. They gotta give Andrade a chance to showcase for the same audience as the bigger fighters so the casuals can start buying into dude as a threat/challenge to the big dogs. The hardcore fans already know Andrade matches up well with everybody.

Exactly.
Andrade should have been on Nelo vs Jacobs undercard.
And replace Ray with Jones or Tarver. He seems like a nice guy but the awkward pauses and his lack of transitions when being fed easy topics to expand upon is killing me.
Example
Kinney- " you know Ray, Andrade fighting 12 rounds here gave him some good work as a potential Canelo/GGG/Jacobs opponent here.'
Ray- " yes you're right Brian."
Awkward silence.

Yeah, I saw an interview where Hearn mentioned that Andrade wanted to be on the Joshua/Miller undercard and Hearn said he told Andrade he's a headliner, he's not going to fight on the undercard at MSG. Then Hearn said he'd fight at the Dunkin Donuts Centre instead. Yeah Eddie, that'll build Andrade up as a name for the casuals
I don't think Hearn realized nobody wants to see some bum ass butter toothed brit fights on these undercards, we want exciting match-ups and we want these cards to be stacked.
That's my biggest gripe about DAZN. The commentary is so awkward and at times, too fukking preachy and smug in tone. The presentation is very low rent too, the picture quality is great but the camera work misses a lot and the graphics are trash too.
Bruh listen ain't nothing wrong with fighting at the Dunk...I haven't seen a fight there since I was there as an extra in the audience for Bleed For This ..I want an Andrade fight at the DunkThen Hearn said he'd fight at the Dunkin Donuts Centre instead.

I just don't want a trash undercard for the MSG card. When I heard Hearn was planning a Britain vs USA undercard for the Miller/Joshua card, I just thought

Their look kind of resembles boxing in England.
But GOTDAMN the commentary is awful.

nikka I damn near spit my wine out. but facts tho. Its like dudes get to the top and all of a sudden forget how to promote fighters. Like we saw Cotto get practically raised off of Floyd's shadow. shyt worked so well, nikkas ran it again with Canelo. You saw them do it with Roman Gonzales and Golovkin. When you saw those two names on the same card, you knew you were going to get an action night. Andrade vs Lemieux or that level of fighter on the undercard of Joshua/Miller would have benefited everybody.
Nothing wrong with letting him main event on his own at Dunkin Donuts every now and then, but timing is important with that too. He just had 2 types of cards like that. Now is the time to move him around to increase his exposure. Dude could easily call out every one on the big stage after a good fight on that Joshua card. Instead that moment will come in front of Pat and 5k other people on a card the whole world won't be watching like that.
Yeah just like PBC has their problems, DAZN has its own as well. Their overall presentation has that rent a spoon feel to it. Commentary doesn't help either.
