        February 5th you have Thurman fighting Mario Barrios on PPV for $75. Keith hasn't fought in two and a half years and Barrios couldn't hold off Gervonta Davis' step up two weight classes (140). I'm not saying I don't have a little bit of interest in the bout but not PPV interest.

              While I dont like Spence vs Ugas as a POV unless their is a incredible undercard im thinking its going to be a infighting brawl !! Both arent really movers and Spence will stay in Ugas pocket!! price point gotta be right though!!

                Brook came through for me-put ten on 1-3 and twenty on 4-6.

                It's the only interest I had in the fight.

                    Issac Cruz vs Yuriorkis Gamboa – 12 rounds Lightweight bout
                    Radzhab Butaev vs. Eimantas Stanionis – 12 rounds, welterweight bout


                    That's the only undercard I am seeing. The purse split is actually 75/25 in favor of Ugas?

                      It's unbelievable how ridiculous some of these PPV's are getting. As others have pointed out, some of these cards are what used to pass as barely up to standard for HBO's "Boxing After Dark", and now they're PPV?

                      Just when you think boxing couldn't be any more committed to self-destruction, it gets more ridiculous. The sad part is that it will never recover, because the small number of people that could possibly fix it have absolutely no interest in doing so.

                      I'd consider myself a pretty big fight fan (at least by today's standards), and I don't have much interest in the sport anymore. Which is really sad, because I used to really be a die-hard.

                        Wow! Wood vs Conlan. Definitely an early FOTY candidate. I was a bit disappointed at how pro-Conlan the announcers were, but what a great fight and an incredible display of resilience by Leigh Wood.

                          plenty of good fights coming up over the next couple of months - I recently got an iptv service and it's awesome to put it mildly.

                          Tonight we see berlanga vs Rolls (toronto) so that will be fun for me - he spars all the time vs Brandon Cook who had a couple of big fights - but more interestingly I guess is the fact that Rolls fought GGG and got beat, but lasted better than some expected (even though he got killed).

                          that was GGG's last KO (2019) so can Berlanga get rid of him inside of 4 like GGG did or will it go longer... it shouldn't be that competitive though but hey, sometimes a quick ko is fun..

                          Also I see Blair Cobbs vs Alexis Rocha tonight as well as Eddie Hall vs Hafthor Bjornsson and Kiko Martinez vs Josh Warrington for next weekend.

                          After that looks like April 9th for GGG s Murata
                          Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.

                            DAZN has been on a roll so far this year. Solid fight night cards every week. I started subscribing in January and it has been well worth the money [emoji3037][emoji3037]

                              Berlanga looked very unimpressive.

                                indeed he e did as well as his weak arsed post-fight interview.

                                Cut off the ring dude!
