Bivol vs. Smith Jr

[Spicoli]

Rojas has beaten 1 guy with a winning record? Not to harp on DAZN but this is an example of one of their bland presentations to the eye. Plain grey ring, arena and seating pretty much blacked out on camera. On a small screen it feels very isolated and 'slow' compared to a huge outdoor arena and live fan faces over on FOX .

Now the gals in short shorts and red tennis shoes throwing t shirts..that works a bit.

Not exactly the same... but here's a comparison.

I just don't understand why they don't highlight the fans and basically a promotion for the venue. Just..meh. Bring some flashlights . Callum Johnson should shine here.

Quality respect for Pedroza their, like to always see that for greats of yesterday.

I'll eventually give in and subscribe to DAZN. But I'll always prefer the Showtime and ESPN events.

Boxing is no longer a mainstream sport..... and both the networks and the streaming services are making sure it stays that way. It'll now be more of a niche sport than ever.

It'll find it's way again, always has. The streaming is very hit or miss for me. I've had espn+ for a few months and haven't used it once . But that's the selling point and why Hearn is all in..he pays zero to networks, advertising etc from what I can see. Unfortunately he doesn't see fit to promote the arenas really. Hey not all bad..the 'free' networks showing live cards in primetime tv. It's always great to see that again.
