That press release wasn't written by Warren's firm much. Arum does about 30 shows a year in the US alone, so far this year Warren has done 2? 3? on BT with one scheduled. Bob has "partnered up" with Frank to provide American fans with Nicola Adams, Bradley Skeete and Jack Catterall.

More exposure is awesome but are we really lacking the ability to 'see' British boxing

. I'm just wondering about Top Rank as it seems it has more arms extended than a drunken school reunion. ESPN has 3,4 channels on a cable tier, the espn+ app, and a new mega contract with UFC for home channel..but they still cannot guarantee that boxing fans will see their basic cable card actually start on time. Interesting to see how they air these but we're fortunate to have the ease of globe trotting International fight exposure now. Point..click..who's this guy

. Back in the day you stuffed VHS tapes in a huge envelope and traded for them

The amount of live fights that are gonna clash with each other on different networks, channels and platforms is gonna become a problem I think.
What's Haymon saying he's showing... 52 a year ain't it?
Problem right there

This is nothing more than a content filler for the streaming/app service (whatever the online thingy is called), you still wont be watching any British boxing on your wall to wall TV, not that you'd care anyway
