They had ITV last year and Josh Taylor's previous fights have been live on Channel 5. What good has it done him? Nothing!!! He is one the best fighters in the UK yet nobody gives a shit about him.
This free Youtube coverage is fantastic (I didn't even get to watch live), long may it continue.
Next week you'll be calling everyone a mug for buying Bellew-Uysk
Yet you just watch how much attention that gets on here compared to this night, it will do more PPV than anything Taylor has got on free terrestrial.
That Is exactly my point. This guy is a true relevant boxer, not a gimmick. He deserves a hell of a lot more exposure. I would pay to watch him fight Prograis no problem, but why the fuck should I pay to watch Bellew fight Haye or Cleverley , or DeGale fight Eubank, or even Khan and Brook.
Those fights mean nothing in Boxing terms.
People who pay for those fights are mugs, but tbf , next week, Bellew is fighting one of the best fighters on the planet for a World title, so that’s fair enough. (Still won’t be paying though.
)
