It's the type of gimmick name grabbing stuff Dazn churned out with Youtube personalities and ex NBA players etc. Pure shiny shams.


You may have stumbled upon something there. Former athletes from different sports getting in on the action. Just like the golf pro-ams where celebrities are paired up with professional golfers in some kind of hybrid competition... maybe boxing can take that up also.

Think Bill Murray (still alive?) lacing them up for an exhibition against some bloated, retired ex-boxer. Ok, ok... Bill's not an athlete. But he DID appear in Space Jam with Michael Jordan and personified both a golfer AND a basketball player.

Huh? Huh?

The possibilities are endless, with crossovers of all sorts. You got guys like Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Strahan (NFL)... guys still reasonably young who could probably duke it out for a few rounds against some 60-year old retired boxer.

I think we're entering a new era, folks.
