I don’t think Bam Rodriguez can beat Naoya Inoue but I do think he’s the only one from 122 down that has a chance. Inoue’s ceiling will be 126, where he’s more capable of losing.
David Benavidez is in this weird situation where he can target Bivol, Opetia, or even both. He can also move to take on a smaller heavyweight like Usyk. Big money, and big glory if he can beat Usyk.
Per source with knowledge of the plans, the Zuffa #Boxing card that will include Edgar Berlanga, Richardson Hitchins and Sergey Derevyanchenko is in the works for July 26 in NYC.
While Boxing enthusiasts loved HBO and Showtime all those years, the reality is that it limited the audience. Netflix is probably the biggest platform out there in this modern day, and the sport is performing wonders on it so far.
🚨 The Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano MVP MMA card peaked at 17 million global viewers on Netflix 👀
For reference, other numbers for fights on Netflix:
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: 108 million viewers
Canelo vs Terence Crawford: 41 million viewers
Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua: 33 million viewers

@ryangarcia tells @stephenasmith he can become the face of boxing 👀
I’m a bit skeptical of Ryan Garcia announcing a fight that no one else has come forward and said it’s good to go, especially saying it’s in Las Vegas the same day as Canelo-Mbilli. Just saying. Hopefully it does happen. Both fights would come on at different times.
Regardless of Mayweather-Pacquiao II being a fight nobody actually cares for or asked for, Netflix having it is best for everyone. A free fight that will still probably hit over 30 million viewers from Netflix.
Great undercard, great Main Event. Last night lived up to the Cinco De Mayo fight weekend spectacle. Only one complaint….PLEASE start thinking about East Coast Boxing fans with these fights. You’re losing viewers! 11:00pm should be the latest the Main Event goes off.
we are now past midnight on the east coast. Tonights main event wont start till 12:30 am for them. Can anyone honestly say this helps grow the audience for #boxing?
